An American Haunting (2006,  PG-13)
An American Haunting 0.5 Stars
This movie simply sucks. There are a few tense moments that can cause a jump or two, but that is all I can say that is good about this one. This had a crappy twist ending that even M. Night Shymalan is not stupid enough to try and use. Rather than wrap things up, the twist ending left even more loopholes. Don't watch this - avoid it at all costs

Bay Coven (Bay Cove) (1987,  PG)
Bay Coven (Bay Cove) 1.5 Stars
This was a very predictable run-of-the-mill made for TV film. It might be worth one viewing only, but that's about it. Nothing original, and the cast is full of has-been TV actors, along with a couple of up-and comers for that time.

Bloody Mary (2006,  Unrated)
Bloody Mary 1.5 Stars
Yeah, this thing is pretty awful. A stupid story (done much better in "Candyman") with some untalented actors. The only thing that keeps this from being total crap is some decent gore sfx. Hardly groundbreaking, but decent nevertheless.

Boogeyman (2005,  PG-13)
Boogeyman 0.5 Stars
This movie started out with potential - it could have been a half-decent thriller. Instead, it was a huge disappointment with one of the stupidest endings ever.

Bubba Ho-Tep (2002,  R)
Bubba Ho-Tep 4.5 Stars
This is a great movie! Bruce Campbell is hilarious (as always), and Coscarelli does a great job as director. It's so unbelievably far-fetched that you can't help but like it.

The Dark (2004,  R)
The Dark 3.0 Stars
I didn't expect a lot from this one, so I didn't come away disappointed. Very pedestrian ghost story - it was done much better in "The Ring".

Darkness (2002,  Unrated)
Darkness 0.5 Stars
Long and boring. Could have been suspenseful but it wasn't. And I had the twist ending figured out within the first 15 minutes of the movie!

Dumb stuff. The tooth-fairy is coming to get you . . . huh? Good for a few laughs though.

The Devil's Tattoo (Ghost Rig) 2.0 Stars
Very average low-budget thriller. Not particularly suspenseful or interesting. If they'd made this a gorefest maybe I'd recommend it. Maybe.

End of Days 4.0 Stars
Arnold does a horror movie! And he doesn't do a bad job either. If anyone could fight Satan, it would have to be Arnold.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005,  PG-13)
The Exorcism of Emily Rose 1.5 Stars
This is more of a courtroom drama than a horror film. It had a few chills every now and then, but it was ultimately unsatisfying.

Crap. Loud and obnoxious crap. I can't believe that this has anything to do with the awesome original.

Final Destination 4.0 Stars
Pretty good 'teens in peril' film. this time they are running from the Grim Reaper. Nice set-pieces and some imaginative deaths. Not bad.

Forest of the Damned (Demonic) (2005,  R)
Forest of the Damned (Demonic) 2.0 Stars
Wow, is this ever crappy. A story that makes little sense, some bad acting, and some schlocky-looking gore fx. You would have thought that with Tom Savini on board, he could have lent his expertise and made the gore look better, but I guess he was just getting a paycheck. Even copious amounts of naked women can't help this one.

The Frightening (2001,  R)
The Frightening 1.5 Stars
Pretty crummy story about pretty teenagers getting killed off at their highschool. The contrived "Sixth Sense" kind of ending doesn't help any. This one is a waste of time.

Ghost Game (2004,  R)
Ghost Game 2.0 Stars
Low-budget junk desperately trying to be the next "Evil Dead", but failing miserably. I won't completely trash it, as it was quite funny in parts and there was some pretty good gore effects every now and then.

The Grudge (2004,  Unrated)
The Grudge 4.0 Stars
A lot of people trash this movie, but I don't think it is so bad. It's got some genuinely creepy moments and packs a few frights. Maybe it's not as good as the Japanese original, I don't know.

The Grudge 2 (2006,  PG-13)
The Grudge 2 3.5 Stars
This movie gets trashed a lot on this site, but I didn't think it was so bad! It's got a few creepy moments, and a decent atmosphere about it. It's not great, but at least it's not as bad as "The Ring 2"!

Great Vincent Price classic! Even 50 years later, it's still better than the modern remake!

Lord of Illusions (1995,  R)
Lord of Illusions 4.0 Stars
This is definitely one of the better directorial efforts of Clive Barker. Although it wanders far away from the plot of the original story on which it is based, it is still a cool mixture of suspense, horror, action, and mystery.

Mortuary (2006,  R)
Mortuary 0.5 Stars
Wow! What a piece of shit! This started out promising, with a creepy location and a mysterious backstory - then it degenerated into a stupid overblown story featuring a low-budget Sarlacc pit from "Return of the Jedi". Is Tobe Hooper really the guy who gave us the original "Texas Chainsaw . . ."?

The Mummy (1999,  PG-13)
The Mummy 5.0 Stars
This is a fantastic movie, and a great remake of the old Boris Karloff classic. However, this one owes a lot more to Indiana Jones than it does to horror films.

The Mummy Returns (2001,  PG-13)
The Mummy Returns 4.0 Stars
Not as good a movie as the original, but still a fun ride. The ending scene with the giant scorpion looks like unfinished CGI effects and really ruined a fairly decent film.

Pulse (2006,  PG-13)
Pulse 2.0 Stars
Yet another remake of a Japanese horror film. This one should have been skipped. It's not a bad story, and the atmosphere is quite creepy, but it all falls flat and ends with yet another unsatisfying ending. Come on Hollywood, aren't there any original ideas out there?

The Return (2006,  PG-13)
The Return 0.5 Stars
How can a movie with such a short running time seem so long? This is an exercise in boredom as it is neither scary, nor thrilling. A big yawn from me. I can't believe I paid $3.50 for this.

The Sixth Sense 3.5 Stars
This was well-acted and directed. The story kept you guessing and created a nice amount of suspense. Unfortunately, the trademark twist-ending leaves this movie almost unwatchable a second time around.

Sleepy Hollow (1999,  R)
Sleepy Hollow 4.5 Stars
I thought this movie was great. It has the trademark spooky gothic atmosphere that we've come to expect from Tim Burton, as well as some awesome effects and wry humor. Johnny Depp is good, but Christopher Walken is even better as the Horseman.

Whisper (2007,  R)
Whisper 3.5 Stars
Hey, this one's pretty good! It borrows very heavily from "The Omen" and even takes a little from "The Shining", but the end result is alright. It's creepy at times, and it will even make you jump once or twice. Not a bad way to spend 90 minutes.

The Woods (2005,  R)
The Woods 2.5 Stars
This movie was just average. That's it. It had some suspenseful moments, but the story got off-track and wound up with a very bland ending. If you like movies about secret witches covens and stuff like that, you might like this one.
