WOW! As hilarious film fiascos go, DREAMCATCHER is anything but SSDD!

+ Better Than Expected
+ Dream or Nightmare Catcher?

From what we've heard, quite a bit of Stephen King's DREAMCATCHER was lost in the translation from the page to the screen; but not having read it, we were free to enjoy the movie as a creature feature involving, among other things, slimy, toothy worms that issue forth, in a crescendo of blood and ...

Very Strange INDEED

+ THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES - An unusually fine horror film

This movie is based on an incident which actually occurred, but the film as presented isn't entirely accurate. What initially drew my interest is my fascination with cryptozoology and unusual, paranormal-type occurrences which appear to be completely unbelievable; however, something out of the ...

Halle Berry is Great in this Movie

+ Makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up even afterward

This movie is so good!!! I don't see how this one bombed at the box office. This movie was so different from your average scary movie movie. It is something we have not seen. It is like a horror/thriller. The acting was great, the movie could have been presented a little bit differently. Other than ...

Old Spy Loves This Movie

+ nice little crime drama/murder mystery

I caught the first half of this movie on cable, and rented the DVD to see how it ended. I was enchanted, not just by the three actors (Judd whose latest is De-Lovely; Garcia from the Godfather etc; and Juckson from Pulp Fiction, The Negotiator et al), but by the over-all concept and execution. ...

Anathema to say so in some quarters, but I preferred this to the original.

+ Hydro-Phobia...

I loved the original of "Dark Water" and expected to be disappointed by this, as in the terrible remake of "Ring", but I was very pleasantly surprised to find this was a most excellent movie and better than the original, in that this one didn't leave in what seemed like unnecessary parts, which in ...

PREDICTABLE? I think not!

+ A Nice litte thriller
+ Great Thriller!

If you were able to predict the ending of this one, you're a better man than I. This movie was spooky and chilling! Brittany Murphy plays her role very well and Michael Douglas is "on form". (Which is to say he gives it his all as always.) It's an intense story and one you have to see to ...

+ Scary ,Entertaining!

I found this DVD to be very enjoyable. It kept my attention during the entire movie. I also enjoyed the documentaries included which told about what EVP and white noise are and was able to hear real EVP's. I especially liked the 2nd one that showed a couple taking EVP's at an haunted house. I give ...

A well done Hitchcockian tale of twists and surprises. This will keep you biting your nails and guessing right up to the end. Just when you think you've got it figured out, another corner in the maze arrives. As you make the turn, something else is there that you didn't expect. Although the ...

+ Damon Medic's review of "The Ring"

I watched this film because I thought it was another I had seen several years ago. It wasn't. "The Ring" is much more. Another reviewer called it a cerebral exercise in terror. Exactly! What could have been so hokey became excellent frisson (that thrilling moment that makes your hair prickle). ...

+ Phone Booth a Winner

I always liked this movie. It's cool how a snobby publicist named Stu is cheating on his wife, then 'the caller' calls Stu at a phone booth, and if Stu hangs up, the caller will shoot him. The caller does shoot someone and everyone thinks Stu did it, then the police get involved. It's also cool ...
