31 Days of Horror 2014 – Day 30

Sinister (2012) From IMDb:  “A true-crime writer (Ethan Hawke) finds a cache of 8mm home movies films that suggest the murder he is currently researching is the work of a serial killer whose career dates back to the 1960s.” Surprisingly well done film that stands out from the recent deluge of paranormal/ghost/exorcism/possession/haunted house movies thatContinue reading “31 Days of Horror 2014 – Day 30”

The Crazies (2010) A remake of a seldom-seen 1972 George Romeo film, about a small town in Iowa whose inhabitants drink contaminated water.  The tainted water turns them into “Crazies” with an insatiable blood lust.  The film is slick but remains one of the better remakes in recent years.

31 Days of Horror 2014 – Day 14

Cherry Falls (2000) Director Geoffery (Romper Stomper) Wright’s criminally under seen horror flick slid in under the radar at the end of the post-modern slasher wave following Scream in 1996.  Adding to its obscurity is the fact that Cherry Falls failed to secure a theatrical release. It’s a shame too.  Cherry Falls very deftly balancesContinue reading “31 Days of Horror 2014 – Day 14”
