The Fog (2005) Fuld Film Streaming

Add one more to the list of unnecessary horror remakes.. Once it's safely slotted in the overworked zom-com genre, there's no reason to keep watching.. This Fog lacks the one thing the original had -- originality -- but it qualifies as more than a mist opportunity.. "Life After Beth" gets into the well-tread zombie-comedy territory in a clever and inspired way. Then it doesn't get out of it nearly so skillfully.. It's typical of pic's adherence to rigid genre conventions that the very first vict...

It Follows (2014) Spille Film

"It Follows" is the creepiest movie in years.. Less a conventional scary horror film than a fitful, disturbing dream, It Follows is all about atmosphere, with an unsettling soundscape and dislocating widescreen imagery.. It's a wildly fun conceit ... Mitchell's atmospheric rendering of It Follows gives the film a fanciful, otherworldly feel.. Mitchell conjures up plenty of eerie atmospherics - the camerawork and "Halloween"-esque score are excellent - but the film never reaches terrifying height...

The Gallows (2015) Download Film

The Gallows is not going to win any prizes for originality. Any film that tries to revive this technique needs a clever story or unusual filmmaking ingenuity to stand out from the crowd. The Gallows has neither.. The Gallows is only good enough to make you wish its creators did something novel with its formulaic style, plot, and characterizations.. The hero of "Sinister" is almost unaccountably dumb. So, unfortunately, is the movie.. A cautionary note: If your horror film is about a high-school ...

Teeth (2007) Spille Film

About halfway through the film, I realized I would be way more interested in a film about the making of Human Centipede 3 than I was in Human Centipede 3. But I don't want to give Six any ideas.. In Teeth, Mitchell Lichtenstein makes the old v.d. the centerpiece of a gory female-revenge black comedy.. Campy, shameless and sophisticated, Lichtenstein's debut is gutsy and original.. It's definitely not for Aunt Minnie, but cult movie mavens will appreciate director Mitchell Lichtenstein's willingn...

World War Z (2013) Download Film

Well-filmed, well-acted and certainly riveting, American Psycho nonetheless is a movie without heart about a man without heart.. Conceptually, this savage cartoon ends up as trapped in surfaces as its shallow antihero: it's all dressed up with nowhere to go.. Christian Bale is heroic in the way he allows the character to leap joyfully into despicability; there is no instinct for self-preservation here, and that is one mark of a good actor.. The choreography is thought out, and the use of 3-D is ...

The Ring Two (2005) Download Film

Perfunctory, thrill- free sequel.. At last: the mutant alien redneck zombie movie the world has been waiting for.. I thought the original had a nice evil chill to it, but this is an unnecessary second chapter that dumbs down all the main characters and is curiously lacking in quality scares.. Tell yourself that it's not a horror movie but a farce -- at times a rousingly ridiculous one -- and you'll save yourself a world of disappointment.. This is a campy scream-a-thon in which you can alternate...

Final Destination 5 (2011) Spille Film

. With Red State, Smith ventures far outside his comfort zone of endlessly chatty films about pop-culture-damaged slackers and into exhilaratingly unfamiliar waters. He's taking as many bold chances artistically as he is commercially.. It sticks to gimmicky scenes in which twentysomethings are dispatched in ingenious ways, but first-time director Steven Quayle delivers cheap fun that will keep fans happy.. It's exactly what you thought it would be: A plagiarized, campus-set Single White Female p...
