Review: Mr D. Gets Locked In a Basement With 'American Crime'

Review: Mr D. Gets Locked In a Basement With \'American Crime\' - While First Look still figures out what the hell they want to do with the film, I was lucky enough to check out An American Crime, which stars Catherine Keener, Ellen Page, James Franco, Bradley Whitford and Scout Taylor-Compton. \"Tommy O\'HaverÂ's film is a masterful period piece; unfortunately not one anyone should WANT to see. But if you happen to come across the film or decide you want to hear the tale of torture, torment and child abuse, be prepared for the worst. AN AMERICAN CRIME is a cold, chilling tale that is sure to bring a tear to your eye.\" Click the title above for stills, trailers and the review.

Halloween (2007) Review, Written by LoudLon

Halloween (2007) Review, Written by LoudLon - There\'s an old saying which goes, \"If it ain\'t broke, don\'t fix it.\"  Unfortunately, not a lot of people seem to put much stock in that phrase, and nine times out of their tinkering makes what they started with worse.The same can be said for film remakes.  Specifically, horror film remakes.  And in this day  and age of recycled ideas and filmic hand-me-downs, the...

Face Review, Written by jmh314

Face Review, Written by jmh314 - Sometimes you stumble upon a horror movie that has all the right elements in place to be a memorable film. Everything is there but for some odd reason, they find some way to work in the unnecessary. This is what ultimately keep a film called Face from being a possible classic. Face is a horror/thriller/suspense film from South Korea that I can think can be best summed up by calling it The Bone...

Halloween (2007) Review, Written by thedeadshallrule

Halloween (2007) Review, Written by thedeadshallrule - Rob Zombie\'s Halloween stands on its own. True Horror storytelling at its best. Halloween has a beginning - Michael Myers childhood, very bloody, very well acted. A middle - Grown Myers in the santatarium/and escape, insightful, very well acted.

Halloween (2007) Review, Written by deathgate666

Halloween (2007) Review, Written by deathgate666 - Based off of John Carpenter\'s original 1978 movie, and reenvisioned by Rob Zombie, this movie was decent. The story starts with Michal Myers as a child. It shows how he had a bad home life, and is tormented at school. He then goes crazy and starts to kill. I don\'t want to give away any of the actual kills, but I will say that they are graphic and awesome. It then proceeds to Michal being...
