    "Tucker and Dale Vs Evil" is surprisingly intelligent, using its unique concept masterfully. But instead of being a stuffy critic-catering piece, it opts to be entertainment incarnate...usually. Because while it's definitely good, it's also a lesson that one should not bite off what they can't chew...unless you're willing to spit it out and cut out a smaller portion...but I don't see how that fits this metaphor. Plus, that's pretty f@cking disgusting. Awful table manners...just awful...
  2. “Uninvited (1988)” movie review.

    When I read the premise, I immediately became intrigued. A monster-kitty starts eating criminals on a yacht? Hell yeah! Of course, any film buff knows that the cooler the premise, the stupider the movie. Did "Uninvited" fall victim to this? Yes, but it's FREAKING AWESOME for it. Okay, maybe I'm getting a little too excited. It's not 'freaking awesome' as much as it's 'freaking tolerable' because of the badness.

    “Identity” is definitely a strong film, a must see for fans of horror, thrillers or mysteries. But something about it keeps it from reaching perfection. So lets dig out our Sherlock Holmes outfits, peer into the iconic magnifying glass and deduce what makes it so good/flawed.
  4. “The Ward (2010)” movie review.

    “The Ward” was supposed to be John Carpenters' big comeback, a small horror/thriller that would be a return to his roots. Unfortunately, it was a bittersweet experience as you can see the Carpenter of old occasionally returning, only to be undermined by sloppy writing and questionable direction. “The Ward” isn't bad, but it's not very good either.
  5. “Hellraiser VIII: Hellworld” movie review.

    “Hellraiser: Hellworld” is awful. Not awful in an amusing way like “Hellraiser 3”, nor was it a (somewhat respectable) misfire like “Hellraiser 6”. It is just bad. Every idea it produces backfires, either being an awful concept to begin with or it's executed so poorly that they might as well have been lame ideas to begin with. I guess I have to respect that they tried to make it different than the previous films, but by different I mean they decided to make it like every other horror franchise that ever existed. It's like the filmmakers took a good look at the franchise and determined that the Hellraiser films had become too conventionally unconventional, so the only way to remain unconventional was by becoming conventional itself.....
