Doom (2005) Movie Review
Movies based on videogames. You have to wonder why they keep making them. For every successful attempt (”Tombraider” being the best example), there are a dozen carcasses left behind to warn those who would dare follow in their footsteps. Andrzej Bartkowiak’s “Doom” is based on an old PC game from the early ’90s that proved [...]

The reception of mainstream critics to the horror film “The Cave” is exactly the reason why films like this have managed to survive purely on customers who frequent direct-to-video bins and cable networks. Guys like Roger Ebert simply have no understanding of what makes a movie like “The Cave” worthwhile; their sphere of cinematic knowledge [...]

“The Exorcism of Emily Rose” is a film with the word ‘earnest’ stamped all over it, being based on a true story and with a two-hour running time rarely seen in the modern horror genre. Indeed, despite the predictable tweaks made to the source material, namely relocating the action from Germany [...]

Stop me if you’ve heard this before: five college students move into an old derelict house and encounters strange going-ons that eventually makes them turn on one another. And oh yeah, a quija board (or a variation of one) comes into play. Plus, the Fair Hair lead is blonde, empathetic, and is haunted by her [...]

Writer/director Sheldon Wilson’s “Shallow Ground” is an ambitious attempt at combining several aspects of the horror genre into one blood soaked package. Although “Shallow Ground” is at heart a variation on the venerable woodland slasher motif, the film also incorporates, to moderate success, murder mystery style plotting and vaguely apocalyptic supernatural elements. From the very [...]

You would be forgiven if you thought the only thing Demi Moore was famous for is as that older chick shacking up with that semi-retarded kid in the trucker hat who likes to punk celebrities. After all, she did take a major sabbatical from the acting game for quite some time, leaving behind a thriving [...]

Mi-ju is not having a very good life. For one, she’s no longer in love with her job teaching cello to a bunch of spoiled brats, one of whom holds a grudge against her and may be trying to run her over with a car. At home, Mi-ju’s oldest (and very strange) daughter is learning [...]

At times visually impressive, if overly familiar, Anthony Ferrante’s “Boo!” had potential to be a really good horror movie. Alas, one too many derivative moments, not to mention stale, genre-confirming characterization dooms it to mediocrity. Nevertheless, a film like “Boo!” (exclamation point optional, apparently) gives you hope that Mr. Ferrante can improve upon story, while [...]

Horror films, especially those which deal with the supernatural or demonic, are by their very nature surreal, though they generally try to derive their chills by being convincingly set in the real world. Dante Tomaselli’s aptly named “Horror” goes another route, being instead an attempt to commit to celluloid the experience and atmosphere of an [...]

In many ways, “Saw 2″ is the archetypal sequel, attempting to top its predecessor simply by subscribing to the ‘more is more’ philosophy. Thus, instead of two men imprisoned in a room (as was the case in the original), we now have six people locked in a house filled with deadly traps, a scenario whose [...]
