Paranormal Activity 2

Paranormal Activity 2

If you’ve already seen the original Paranormal Activity then please don’t expect to be horrified by Paranormal Activity 2, here’s why: the premise is different but similar, the entity’s tricks are one in the same and you already know it’s going to do freaky sh-t, unlike the original! So Paranormal Activity 2 did not scare me or creep me out like its...

Let Me In (2010)

Let Me In (2010)

“I need blood… to live…” With the explosion of Vampire lore unto the big screen in more than one adaptation of books, former movies and unique twists, it is a pleasure to see a fresh take on the blood lust.

If you are younger than myself (child of the 80’s) you may have missed out on the...

Splice left me impressed that the premise of the story had actually gone “there”, the “there” being a rather dirty place which most...

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)

I hope that my bias against the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise hasn’t clouded my judgment, but the movie that I just watched was awful. I blame it on me expecting too much after suffering through the metamorphosis of the scary Freddie Kruger into the jokingly horrible shadow of himself in the later movies. I expected this reboot to bring about a better...
