The Thing (2011) Se Fuld Film

More "Twilight" than Grimm, and a terrible mess.. One gut-busting death after another, terror giving way to tedium.. Red Riding Hood has the added inconvenience of being dreadfully serious about a plot so preposterous, it demands to be filmed by Monty Python.. But, my, what sharp teeth Ms. Hardwicke doesn't have.. Dutch director Matthijs van Heijningen and company deliver lean suspense, and they update the Carpenter crew's gnarly alien-shapeshifter effects skillfully enough to remind us why the ...

The House of the Devil (2009) Spille Streaming

Call it the best '80s babysitter-in-peril movie never made.. The film's nostalgic design is subtle enough not to dampen the seriously sinister atmospherics.. Gravely gorgeous in the style of a storybook Snow White, Donahue gives eloquent reaction shots and nails West's piece de resistance -- a bounding, Walkman-soundtracked, Jazzercise dance through the house.. West avoids cliche and cheesiness with wise casting choices. Donahue's naturalistic performance is as persuasive as the subtly sinister ...

Tusk (2014) Se Fuld Film

Kevin Smith, of "Clerks," delivers a weird in-joke inspired by one of his podcasts. You probably had to be there.. It has a game cast, it's watchable, fun, sick, sad and has to be seen to be believed.. Whether or not this kind of horror movie is your cup of tea, you have to at least admire Roth for the daring and creativity with which he illustrates that concept.. Hostel is a screaming good time, marred only by a lazy ending.. Nice as it would be to herald Tusk as a return to Smith's bold early ...

We Are What We Are (2013) Se Fuld Film

A diverting, stylish thriller that, despite pivoting on that and other whoppers, deserves credit for creating an authentic, original vibe.. Pic begins as a potentially intriguing study of the depersonalizing effects of warfare, only to end up a pastiche of time-travel and psycho-ward movie cliches.. . The Skeleton Key is strictly summer schlock.. This is essentially a haunted-house horror flick that starts off with effectively eerie scenes but devolves into a forced and mildly ridiculous ghost s...

Sinister (2012) Fuld Film Streaming

An occult thriller that scares with an absolute relentlessness.. The movie is full of feints, shocks and scenes of particularly perverse violence, but nothing about it is fresh enough to haunt you in the night. It's predictable.. In true horror movie tradition, characters do things that are head-scratchingly dumb. Once you accept those logic-defying moments, the movie works with diabolical effectiveness.. C'mon, Ethan Hawke, you're better than this. Isn't there a "Before Sunset" sequel that need...

I saw the Devil (2010) Spille Streaming

After a while, the sheer length and repetitiousness of the film begins to feel pornographic in the dullest sense.. Scream 3 is a crafty and well-crafted wrap-up that really does bring a satisfying sense of closure to the franchise.. When did comedy become so lazy?. . Some will find this funny. Some people laugh themselves silly flushing the toilet over and over.. A limp movie-within-a-movie parody that closed the trilogy with a fizzle instead of the bang it deserved.. You're bound to scream -- p...

From Hell (2001) Se Fuld Film

Zombie has talent to burn, but he's slumming here, and one suspects that he knows it.. Well, there are some effective scares here, and you'll laugh at yourself afterward just for jumping and squealing like a little girl. But other images and pieces of dialogue are just as hilarious -- and that probably wasn't their intention.. The gaudiness of From Hell might make the film effective for some viewers, on its own cheap terms. But the movie is a disastrous example of filmmakers whose reductive sens...

The Skeleton Key (2005) Online Streaming

Neither scary nor thrilling, although it's reasonably entertaining despite an abundance of haunted-house cliches, the usual inexplicable scary-movie behavior and an almost-naked John Hurt.. The Skeleton Key is strictly summer schlock.. Criminal waste of talent.. The Skeleton Key delivers on all formulaic counts, except one: It never serves up any truly nightmare-inspiring scares.. . A formulaic fear-fest with a bare-bones plot, The Skeleton Key is more moody than scary, and Hudson's heroine is u...

The Crazies (2010) Online Streaming

Even on the level of killer-virus-gone-wild gore-fest, The Crazies as rejiggered by Eisner is a dud.. The film conceals as much as it reveals, and its beauty is that it pretends to do nothing else. It embraces a mystery and protects it, and it’s thrilling to behold.. A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography, and mesmerizing writing as well as directing, but without the talent to deliver it all, it finds itself lacking. Great!!.

Jessabelle (2014) Se Fuld Film

"Revelation" is incredibly boring as well as totally baffling.. As the film racks up incidents and characters and explanations, the mystery dissipates. It's a strange spectacle: a horror film that spends as much time dismantling suspense as it does building it.. It's never a good sign when the trailers playing before a film have richer, more complete narratives than the feature you've paid to see.. How depressing to discover that John Carpenter is the man running this operation. His talent for b...

Splice (2009) Spille Streaming

The root problem with The Wolfman is that it's a hybrid. It tries to fuse the gothic storytelling of the original with the violence and gore associated with modern horror.. Raimi's skillful direction, the way he positions the camera, and his brilliant pacing keep things jumping almost until the final frame.. The Cronenberg influence here is evident in Mr. Natali's interest in the body and birth and in an initially subdued, near-narcoleptic atmosphere that helps build a nice sense of foreboding.....

The Quiet Ones (2014) Spille Streaming

. There's a payoff in The House of the Devil, if you have the patience. Some of the scenes seem draggy, but the characters are complex, and their motivations are explained.. The first Human Centipede had audacity on its side. Human Centipede II has only excess.. "The Quiet Ones" simply has nothing to say.. The film is reprehensible, dismaying, ugly, artless and an affront to any notion, however remote, of human decency.. It's the latest reminder that when a strange doctor invites you to work on ...

The Jacket (2005) Se Streaming

Apparently, there's a lot less to this picture than meets the eye.. . The film offers a rich gumbo of menace, mystery and magic - and then lets it go cold and mushy in a rainstorm of Hollywood haunted-house huggermugger.. It just bounces Brody back and forth in time and yanks us around, and around, and around.. There's lots of bad stuff brewing on the bayou in this occasionally scary but more often silly movie, which wastes some good actors along the way.. If you can buy the entire psychic flyin...

The Canal (2014) Se Streaming

When a Stranger Calls has been remade -- with undistinguished if inoffensive results -- by Simon West, who is quickly becoming a reliable purveyor of Hollywood's dreckiest dreck.. The scare-free When a Stranger Calls is the worst of the seminal horror movies from the late '70s and early '80s that have been getting the remake treatment lately.. The film is not quite suspense-free, but almost. When finding a dead body underwater isn't scary, something is very wrong.. If you've seen either Black Ch...

Deathgasm (2015) Fuld Film Streaming

In between the rampant four-letter words and the occasional partial nudity are likable attempts at humor - some sweet, some saucy.. What big eyes and lips Amanda Seyfried has. And what nice cheekbones Julie Christie, who plays her grandmother, has. Unfortunately, these are about the only outstanding features in Red Riding Hood.. This amiably dumb feature debut for New Zealand writer-director Jason Lei Howden could have used some additional polish on the scripting side to bump its bad-taste humor...

Scream 4 (2011) Online Streaming

A perfectly acceptable Friday night, Scream 4 delivers plenty of scares without consequences, murder without depth, and a flood of legacy laughs.. The problem is, the movie doesn't really care if we are laughing with it or at it.. The "Scream 4" (I refuse to write it the other way anymore) drinking game: Take a slug every time someone on-screen remarks how meta it all is.. Fifteen years in, the series now looks more than ever like a Mobius strip that reflects on itself in a perpetual loop. But m...
