The Penny Dreadful Picture Show Review

The Penny Dreadful Picture Show Review

RYAN: This is a new horror compilation movie I’ve been anticipating for a while since it’s from the same team who made Dorothy and the Witches of Oz, of which you know I’m a fan.  CAROLINE: Of course you are – it’s Oz.  But this isn’t a fantasy film; it’s an altogether different genre. Tell ..

Insidious Chapter 2 Review

Insidious Chapter 2 Review

RYAN: At least it’s consistent.  I liked this sequel about as much as I liked the first one and is suffers from all the same formulaic issues.  CAROLINE: I haven’t seen either.  RYAN: We like the cast – Patrick Wilson. CAROLINE: God he’s so hot! RYAN: Rose Byrne and Barbara Hershey, who, I can only ..

The Conjuring Review

The Conjuring Review

RYAN: This is the new horror film starring Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, by director James Wan who’s now become a definitive voice in the genre; considering he did Saw and Insidious prior to this.  This is his best film, so far.  It’s the most beautifully articulated in that American horror always manipulates scares through ..

The Purge Review

The Purge Review

RYAN: We just saw the new horror film starring Ethan Hawke which is very much The Hunger Games meets Panic Room.  It actually scared me.  While 99 percent of horror films in the last few years haven’t been frightening, this one actually tensed me up and scared me.  CARRIE: I am so tense right now. ..

Evil Dead Review

Evil Dead Review

  RYAN: Evil Dead is the reboot of The Evil Dead trilogy that Sam Raimi did back in the ’80s.  He and Bruce Campbell produce this one and I liked it. KIM: Did you see the original?  RYAN: No but that was apparently very low-budge, B-movie and laughable at times.  This one had a good ..

A Haunted House Review

A Haunted House Review

RYAN: Seeing the movie A Haunted House made me very unhappy with the whole situation.  It’s with Marlon Wayans and spoofs the Paranormal Activity movies.  I hate those movies so it stands to reason I would loathe this film.  And I do.  And on top of all the reasons why I hate those movies, this ..

Mama Review

Mama Review

RYAN: You know I love a good horror film; good being the operative word here.

 CAROLINE: Oh so do I.  But sadly, they’re mostly appallingly un-frightening. RYAN: True.  And we’re coming off of such a drought.  2012 brought nary a good scary movie.  I loved The Cabin in the Woods, but that was about it.

The Cabin in the Woods Review

The Cabin in the Woods Review

 RYAN: This is one crazy freak-fest of a movie! CAROLINE: Well it’s supposed to be a scary movie.  So it delivered? RYAN: Well yes it delivered something alright.  But since we don’t do spoilers as a rule, I don’t want to say too much about this move. CAROLINE: How is it though?  Did it scare ..
