ATM: I'm sorry you have insufficient funds for this transaction or this is a bad movie and they should feel bad for making it. 2 Out Of 10 WOW just WOW is all I can say about this little gem of a movie. While the concept would have been great for a short dragging it out to 90 minutes is just a bad idea. How could Chris Sparling follow up Buried (2010) with this monstrosity. This film had all the potential to be a bad movie that you could reveal and enjoy in it's badness but can't even pull that off. Truly the only redeeming quality is the acting of Alice Eve as Emily. But seems to be dragged down with plot holes. Rounding out the main cast are Brian Geraghty who was unbelievable as a wannabe stockbroker with a heart and Josh Peck who should really stick with voice work or see if he can get his job  at Nickelodeon back. The plot and I'm using the term loosely is Peck is the DB fr...

Munger Road (2011) Munger Road: Don't Leave Me Hanging Bro....... 6 Out Of 10 Let me get some things out of the way about this movie before I channel Dennis Miller and go off on a rant. I thought first time writer/director Nicholas Smith did a fine job, with good storytelling and well directed scenes. The film also boast above par acting for a low budget horror movie. Starring Randall Batinkoff and Bruce Davison who have over 70 years of talent between them and it came across on screen. The four leads played by Trevor Morgan, Brooke Peoples, Hallock Beals, and Lauren Storm all put in tight and believable performance's. Now the only really glaring plot hole was the age of the killer, the sheriff (Davison)was giving the background of the case to his deputy(Batinkoff) and the numbers would have put the killers age at about 70 give or take a few years. But that can be forgiving. The story borrows ...

Marianne (2011) or horror done right 8 Out Of 10 Stars  was only constrained by it's budget The Short Of It: Good Story Great Acting Nice Soundtrack Well Done Cinematography A few places where shaky cam  almost  took away from it The 2011 Swedish horror film based on the folklore of a "Mare"as in nightmare, By writer/director Filip Tegstedt is a true indie classic in my opinion.Made on a budget of just 150 thousand USD it holds it own with any studio release of recent memory. The cast may be unknown in the US and with few exceptions in Swedish cinema but that doesn't let it hold it back with great performances from top to bottom. New comer Sandra Larsson (as Sandra)plays the teenage daughter with just enough angst and vulnerability to be very believable. Anchoring the film is veteran Swedish actor  Thomas Hedengran (as Krister). ...

Roger Ebert's 1968 Review Of Night Of The Living Dead (Epic Horror Note: It's fun to go back and see where our horror legacy had gotten it's start. Try to read this if you knew nothing about the movie. Have Fun) NOTE (2004): This reaction to a screening of "Night of the Living Dead" is not, properly speaking, a review -- or rather, it is a review of the audience reaction. I admire the movie itself, which I have seen twice since that 1969 afternoon, and its sequel "Dawn of the Dead" got an enthusiastic review from me. I didn't assign a star rating to "The Night of the Living Dead" because the kind of article I wrote did not seem to require one, but if I were to rate it today, I'd give it 3 1/2 stars.                                                                [EDITOR'S NOTE: This review contains spoilers.] There were maybe two ...
