Embrace the Darkness 3 (2002) Movie Review
“Embrace the Darkness 3″ comes a year after the series’ first sequel (appropriately titled “Embrace the Darkness 2″, natch), and features an all-new cast, writer, but the same director. Seeing as how I cared very little for the direction and overall feel of the first sequel, I have small hope for Part 3 with director [...]

I have very little use for a movie that not only fails to entertain me, but also fails to deliver on its promise. “Embrace the Darkness” is a softcore sex movie masquerading as an erotic vampire movie; that aside, it’s one heck of a guilty pleasure. The sexual situations (and there are a lot of [...]

I will try to keep this as simple as possible. Avoid this pathetic movie at all costs! Got that? Good.
But just to satisfy my own needs as a film reviewer, let’s delve into this pathetic sham of a movie anyway, shall we?
Plot: Naïve girl goes to big city, gets bitten by vampires, ends up [...]
Tales of the Unusual (2001) Movie Review
“Tales of the Unusual” is essentially a “Twilight Zone”-inspired movie about 4 very different stories linked by a common sequence. But where other anthology movies usually have a constant theme (for example, horror or science fiction or mystery), “Unusual” goes for 4 distinctively different genres in its 4 story segments.
The film opens and closes [...]
House on Haunted Hill (1999) Movie Review
“House on Haunted Hill” is a favorite of mine, although I don’t often like to admit it. It’s slick, mindless, and has a number of good sequences that makes your skin crawl. It’s a standard horror film and uses all the conventions of horror films made in the ’90s — cheap scares, loud pounding music, [...]

Guillermo del Toro’s “The Devil’s Backbone” wants to be an old-fashioned ghost story, but it’s really just old-fashioned, with some excellent special effects making intermittent appearances to liven things up. For its first 50 minutes or so, “Backbone” plays out like a generic ghost story, with all the filmmaking conventions of the genre followed to [...]

The Djinn is back, and this time he’s meaner, leaner, and funnier — which, incidentally, also describes the film’s budget. Since “Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies” is a direct-to-video/cable production, the franchise has now officially begun its B-Movie Horror run.
The sequel picks up where the original left off, with the defeated Djinn imprisoned in his [...]
Wishmaster (1997) Movie Review
The full title of “Wishmaster” is actually “Wes Craven Presents, Wishmaster”, and if you believe horrormeister Craven (”Nightmare on Elm Street”) had anything to do with this movie besides selling his name for a tidy profit, then I got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell ya. “Wishmaster” came out at a time when Craven’s “Scream” [...]

Stephen Sommers’ “The Mummy” was so good and (most important of all) so profitable that they not only made a sequel, but they made a prequel out of a minor character. In its truest form, “The Mummy” is an old-fashioned adventure movie, filled with fluff romance, outrageous action sequences, and humor that straddle the line [...]

Sequels are, by their very nature, never as “good as the original.” The biggest reason for this is because the sequel can’t surprise you (the audience) when everything has been explained/done/shown in the original. One school of thought on how to overcome this (negative) expectation is to, instead of surprising the audience, just give it [...]
