[4] William Hurt makes his big-screen debut in this blend of psychedelia and cockamamy psychology based on a novel by Paddy Chayefsky (Network). Hurt plays a college professor of science who experiments with drugs inside isolation tanks to, oh, I don’t know — I think it was to find God or something. Anyway, the experiments actually end up regressing Hurt’s DNA and he slowly turns …
[7] Exists is easily the best Bigfoot movie ever made. There’s still room for improvement, but I have to applaud writer Jamie Nash and director Eduardo Sánchez (The Blair Witch Project) for making my favorite boogeyman as scary as he ought to be. The monster is fast, furious, angry, and towering. The story isn’t the most original, but it suffices. Five college kids sneak away …
[4] Alex Essoe stars as a young woman who’ll do anything to become a successful actress. When a mysterious Hollywood secret society ‘auditions’ her and offers her everything she’s ever wanted, she stops at nothing and sacrifices everything for eternal fame. Essoe does a good job and there are some nifty makeup effects in the later half of the film, but I really disliked Essoe’s …
[6] Writer/director David Robert Mitchell serves up a relatively fresh, original low-budget indie horror film that will tickle many horror fans’ nostalgia bones. The film is basically about a killer STD… sorta. If you have sex with the wrong person, you catch the fancy of some mysterious, invisible evil presence that will slowly stalk you and kill you. That is, unless you have sex with …
[5] Bobcat Goldthwait takes us to Bigfoot country in this found-footage film about a Sasquatch enthusiast who drags his girlfriend into the woods to help him shoot a documentary at the site where the famed Roger Patterson footage of the creature was recorded back in 1967. On one hand, this is easily one of the best Bigfoot movies ever made, but that really isn’t saying …
[5] If you saw the three that came before it, you know exactly what to expect from The Final Destination, and you’ll get nothing more — perhaps a bit less. It follows the same plot as the other movies — a kid has a premonition that everyone’s going to die (in this case, at a Nascar race), he ends up saving his doubtful friends, and …
[10] I’ll come right out with it: The Witch is my favorite horror film of the last ten years. Newcomer writer/director Robert Eggers serves up a masterfully creepy tale that’s equal parts psychological and atmospheric, elegant and restrained, but not without some visceral imagery that will haunt you for years to come. The story centers around a New England family circa the 1630s. Having just …
[7] Essie Davis (Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries) gives a powerhouse performance as the widowed mother of a troubled child who believes a storybook monster is terrorizing their household. At first, Mom doesn’t believe the monster is real, but Mr. Babadook quickly makes his presence increasingly known… or is Mom just losing her mind from anxiety and exhaustion? Davis pulls out every weapon in her arsenal …
[7] Is Michelle Pfeiffer seeing a ghost in her lakeside home, or is she just losing her mind? That’s the premise behind this intimate thriller from director Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump, Back to the Future). Pfeiffer does a fine job and Harrison Ford is interestingly cast as her husband, a role that turns out to be more against his type than you’d imagine. The story …
[1] Pulse is astonishingly bad in almost every way imaginable. The only nice thing I can say about it is that leading lady Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars) seems to be doing the best she can with the material. But other than that, the film is like staring into a giant anus that never stops shitting on you. First there’s the idiotic concept — dead people …
