    "Oculus" is unusual though because it's one of the few modern day horror films where the script is the primary focus, not the direction. It boasts a very clever, inspired and engaging story, which is so successful that I didn't even realize it was lacking in the scare department until the film was over.

    "Annabelle" proves that the character of Annabelle only really works as support, as she isn't scary enough to sustain her own movie..Although to be fair, the lazy and formulaic script didn't do her any favors.

    "23:59" has a strong first act, shrouding itself in mystery, a chillingly foreboding atmosphere and creepy scares. Unfortunately, its initial success only makes the rest of the movie suck that much harder. Even though I adore military themed horror flicks, this ghost-thriller is a casualty of war.

    The main problem with “Mama” though is that in terms of story, it’s the same old shit that we’ve seen in every other paranormal flick out there. The only parts which leave an impression- the weird attempts at humor and the sudden transition from horror to fantasy- only stand out because they don't work.
  5. “Dark Skies (2013)” movie review.

    "Dark Skies" isn't a disaster. I almost wish it was, because then I would've at least felt...something about it. This is not a bad movie, but all of its successes tie in too closely with its failures, dragging the feature down into the deep pits of "meh".
