I enjoyed it.
- DirectorAjmal Zaheer AhmadStarsParker SmerekRemington GielniakArielle OlkhovskyEli believes that there's a monster living in his basement, and it's trying to steal his soul.5/10 - Felt more like a Christian family movie with minor supernatural elements, then the WTF ending gives it a completely uneven tone.

- DirectorTodd TuckerStarsCaleb ThomasSarah LancasterAnnie ReadAfter a fifteen-year-old is brutally beaten up by High School bullies, his wish for revenge unknowingly unleashes the Terror of Halloween.6/10 - First hour is like a Disney channel movie, but the last 30 takes a drastic horror turn, which was amusing. I was entertained overall, I'd say it's kind of a guilty pleasure movie.
- DirectorTim KincaidStarsTeresa FarleyLance LewmanFrances ShermanThe Manhattan General Hospital admitted a string of young women raped by something otherworldly. Dr. Pace and Detective Andriotti try and isolate the strange organic material found on the victims to find the fiend.4/10 - Some okay practicals and tons of nudity still couldn't save this terrible cheesefest.
- DirectorAdam KrauseStarsLauren Ashley CarterTracy PerezAaron ChristensenAn unidentified man in Green Bay, WI has captured worldwide attention for roaming the streets dressed as a clown. Many write it off as a harmless prank, others aren't so sure. When a group of friends cross paths with the clown everyone calls Gags, his true intentions are revealed.4/10 - Heavy on the social and political commentary. No real focus, just follows a bunch of random people and their encounters with clowns through various cameras. Not scary, not funny.
- DirectorKiah Roache-TurnerStarsBen O'TooleMonica BellucciCaroline FordA man discovers that he is part of a secret sect of magical beings who hunt down and destroy demons in the Internet.6/10 - Dumb story, but good pacing, decent effects and some good action. A fun movie overall.

Soon, the clock begins to alter time and space and starts to possess members of the household.5/10 - Rewatched. These sequels are a bit of a guilty pleasure.
- DirectorTony WestStarsChris GeereTina IvlevDavid NewmanAfter a team of reality TV ghost hunters experience true paranormal activity, they must figure out a way to escape with their lives intact.6/10 - Decent horror comedy. Mostly amusing, but there are some funny bits.
- DirectorNicholas McCarthyStarsTaylor SchillingJackson Robert ScottPeter MooneyA mother concerned about her young son's disturbing behavior thinks something supernatural may be affecting him.6/10 - One of the better evil kid movies, but still not without its problems.

Preston and Laura team up with a peaceful, genetically re-engineered Sil to track the monster down.5/10 - Rewatched. Cheesy, but an okay creature feature with some good gore and practical FX.

- DirectorJohn McCauleyStarsChristopher HolderMolly CheekTony CrupiA serial killer escapes from a mental hospital and hides out in a small town. A local cop must catch him before he starts on another killing spree.4/10 - First hour is a boring cliched slasher, while the last 30 suddenly turns into a captive-survival flick, which was only slightly an improvement. Slightly.
- DirectorRoberta FindlayStarsAmy BrentanoShannon McMahonDaniel EricksonSeven girls must spend the night in an old house, which once was a brothel, as part of an initiation.4/10 - Nothing new here, move along.
- DirectorJeff HathcockStarsAva KauffmanRobert AxelrodLonny WithersFour young girls on a camping trip in the woods are stalked by a pair of crazed serial killers.3/10 - Fairly unheard of for a good reason.
- DirectorGeorge MihalkaStarsDarlanne FluegelMartin NeufeldJames BrolinJust why are people surrounding Adam Pratman dropping down dead? Is this five year old really a murderous sociopath?6/10 - Light on horror, a bit predictable and felt very made-for-tv, but I still kinda liked it.
- DirectorArmand MastroianniStarsOlivia HusseySteve RailsbackPiper LaurieA man goes to speak with a gigolo and is promptly beaten for his trouble. Soon afterward, his wife is told that he burned to death in a car wreck and is shown the body...and that's when she starts seeing strange men at the corner of her vision, while her friend does all she can to convince her she's going insane!5/10 - Decent cast, but really slow and boring.

PepperTrine MichelsenDonald PleasenceA US professor of archaeology and his young research team uncover a sealed ancient pagan tomb under the mausoleum of the real life Roman Emperor Domitian. This unleashes an evil deity that starts haunting people involved with the dig.5/10 - Great to see Donald Pleasence and the movie has some okay cheesy moments, but overall it's pretty boring.
- DirectorCharlie LoventhalStarsScott ValentineMichele LittleRobert TreborA homeless street musician becomes a demon when sexually aroused.5/10 - This is the type of movie that you love and appreciate if you grew up watching it, because seeing it for the first time as an adult doesn't have the same impact since you see it as it is--just a cheesy flick.
- DirectorGeorge PavlouStarsDenholm ElliottSteven BerkoffLarry LambWhen high class hooker Nicole is kidnapped from her brothel, Rich businessman Hugo Motherskille hires her ex love Roy Bain to find her.4/10 - Co-written by Clive Barker you'd think it'd be decent, but nope. It's pretty bad. Though you can see some similarities to Night Breed, just a shittier version.
- DirectorGeorge RatliffStarsSam RockwellVera FarmigaJacob KoganThe arrival of a newborn girl causes the gradual disintegration of the Cairn family; particularly for 9-year-old Joshua (Kogan), an eccentric boy whose proper upbringing and refined tastes both take a sinister turn.6/10 - More of a drama than a horror flick, but an interesting one. Some nice manipulation going on from the evil kid.
- DirectorChris RoacheStarsKylie ClareTony BlackettAllen LeongAs a child, a girl witnesses her father electrocute a young boy. When she grows into an adult, the ghost of the murdered boy appears to her, and together they set out to expose the crimes of her father.5/10 - Pretty MEH movie, offers nothing really new. Felt very made-for-tv.
- DirectorGeorge MihalkaStarsZach GalliganCatherine Mary StewartMichael NouriThe college student Patrick Costello shares an apartment with his childhood friend Nick and has a crush on his professor Laurel Young. Patrick has premonitions through dreams and daydreams since he was a kid and recently he is foreseeing the deaths of young women.

When Steering invites Laurel to travel with him to another town, Patrick has premonitions with her becoming his next victim. What can he do to save Laurel?6/10 - A bit predictable, but Zach Galligan is entertaining and the movie is fairly enjoyable to some extent for the most part.
- DirectorGavin WildingStarsCynthia PrestonAdrian PaulChristopher LloydA young journalist is assigned to work with a more experienced writer on a scandal paper. On an assignment to write about a mental hospital patient who supposedly can predict people's deaths, the younger reporter suddenly experiences a recurrence of lost feelings she had from a near-death experience years previous in an air crash.5/10 - Boring. Doesn't make much sense. Bad narration from Christopher Lloyd.
- DirectorMichael GoiStarsGary OldmanEmily MortimerManuel Garcia-RulfoA family looking to start a charter-boat business buys a ship that holds terrifying secrets once out on isolated waters.5/10 - Derivative and predictable, but at least the pacing is okay.
- DirectorRob ZombieStarsSheri Moon ZombieBill MoseleySid HaigAfter barely surviving prison, the demented Firefly clan go on the run, unleashing a whole new wave of murder, madness and mayhem.7/10 - Not as good as Devil's Rejects, but still entertaining. Sid's absence was definitely felt, but Richard Brake was a great addition to the family.
- DirectorDiederik Van RooijenStarsShay MitchellGrey DamonKirby JohnsonWhen a cop who is just out of rehab takes the graveyard shift in a city hospital morgue, she faces a series of bizarre, violent events caused by an evil entity in one of the corpses.6/10 - Started off strong, but kinda went nowhere. Kept my interest at least. Decent watch overall.
- DirectorAbe ForsytheStarsLupita Nyong'oAlexander EnglandJosh GadA washed-up musician teams up with a teacher and a kids'-show personality to protect young children from a sudden outbreak of zombies.7/10 - Nice little zombie movie that focused more on the characters, which made it more interesting and funny.
- DirectorAlan ParkerStarsMickey RourkeRobert De NiroLisa BonetA private investigator is hired by a man who calls himself Louis Cyphre to track down a singer named Johnny Favorite. But the investigation takes an unexpected and somber turn.7/10 - Rewatched. First time I watched this I didn't like it that much, but now that I'm older I can appreciate and understand it better. A bit slow, but interesting. De Niro is great as Lucifer. Good movie overall.
- DirectorBernie RaoStarsJed BrophyJordan RiversPiimio MeiA killer reclining chair becomes enchanted by a girl and starts committing crimes of passion.3/10 - For a movie about a killer recliner it takes itself entirely too seriously, which is where it fails.
- DirectorDavid Ian McKendryRebekah McKendryStarsConstance WuJonathan KiteJocelin DonahueWhen an awkward date on Christmas Eve leads a couple into a strange theater, they're treated to a bizarre and frightening collection of Christmas stories, featuring a wide ensemble of characters doing their best to avoid the horrors of the holidays. From boring office parties and last-minute shopping, to vengeful stalkers and immortal demons, there's plenty out there to fear this holiday season.5/10 - One of the worst movies I've seen so far this year. And for a movie about a killer recliner it takes itself entirely too seriously, which is where it fails.
- DirectorChristopher LandonStarsJessica RotheIsrael BroussardPhi VuTree Gelbman discovers that dying over and over was surprisingly easier than the dangers that lie ahead.7/10 - More scifi-comedy this time in comparison to the first movie, but I still had fun with it. However there are some glaring plot holes left that will hopefully be addressed in a third installment.
- DirectorJ.D. DillardStarsKiersey ClemonsEmory CohenHanna Mangan LawrenceA woman washes ashore a small uninhabited island after an accident. The situation turns from bad to worse when she realizes there is a mysterious creature hunting at night.6/10 - Decent creature feature. Simple story, but could've used more character development and the creature itself was also too simplistic.
- DirectorPaul MatthewsStarsTodd JensenSamantha WomackOliver TobiasAn alien travels to Earth on a meteorite and mates with humans to preserve its species and destroy humanity.3/10 - Terrible movie. The acting is so bad. Aside from it having some alien creature I still don't even know WTF it was about.
- DirectorBrett SimmonsStarsFran KranzAlyson HanniganBrittany S. HallA camp counselor suffering from blackouts finds himself surrounded by murder victims. He turns to his horror movie enthusiast friend for advice, and to contend with the idea he may be the killer.6/10 - Decent movie, but the whole meta thing got kinda old fast.
- DirectorPatrick LussierStarsOmar EppsTom AtkinsJamie KennedyA no-nonsense detective tries to track down a mass murderer named Trick, who is terrorizing a small town.6/10 - Above average slasher that offers some interesting ideas, but has a messy third act. Decent overall.
- DirectorDan CurtisStarsEd Begley Jr.E.J. AndréAnn DoranThree horror stories about a vintage car that transports its driver back to 1926, the mistress of an old Victorian mansion who is scared of a vampire and a mother tormented by her dead son who she has brought back to life.6/10 - Decent, but tame made-for-TV anthology. Last story is the best, unfortunately I had already seen the exact same story since it was remade in Trilogy of Terror 2.
- DirectorJeffrey MandelStarsDan HaggertyJulie AustinDeanna LundA woman finds she is part of a Nazi breeding experiment with elves to create supermen. She and friends are trapped in a store with an elf. Only a renegade Santa Claus can save them.3/10 - Thought I had seen this before, but I guess not. At least I don't remember anyway. Either way, it's terrible.
- DirectorDominick BrasciaStarsMartin HansenGreg Joujon-RocheAnnie MikanA child is convinced his grandfather is a monster and kills him. Years later he returns with his friends to the sight of the killing. It appears to be his grandfather's revenge as one by one his friends are brutally murdered.4/10 - Yeah it's pretty bad, but the werewolf was alright.
- DirectorBabak AnvariStarsArmie HammerZazie BeetzKarl GlusmanDisturbing and mysterious things begin to happen to a bartender in New Orleans after he picks up a phone left behind at his bar.5/10 - Interesting concept, but poor execution. A lot of lost potential here.
- DirectorClay StaubStarsAmanda SchullShawn AshmoreMilo VentimigliaSeeking a missing woman in North Dakota, an FBI agent and a sheriff focus on her religious zealot husband but discover something far more sinister.6/10 - Started strong, but the story got unnecessarily convoluted. Still a decent watch though.
- DirectorCuyle CarvinStarsThomas DowneyDee WallaceTrinity SimpsonA struggling children's book author and his rebellious teenage daughter move into a house they've inherited and find mysterious dolls in the attic. The father and daughter soon learn that the dolls have a sinister - and deadly - past.4/10 - Amateurish and slow. Not much happens until the last 20 minutes. Ending is dumb as hell.
- DirectorJulian RichardsStarsBarbara CramptonMichael ParéKayleigh GilbertA stillborn baby girl is abducted by a morgue attendant and brought back to life by electrokinetic power. On her 16th birthday, she escapes captivity and sets out to find her birth mother, leaving a trail of destruction behind her.5/10 - An okay movie, nothing new, nothing special.
- DirectorDaniel SackheimStarsDan CorteseKeri RussellVeronica CartwrightBased on Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery."5/10 - More of a mystery drama than anything, but either way it was a little too slow for me.
- DirectorKen HughesStarsLeonard MannRachel WardDrew SnyderWho's been decapitating the innocent girls at a local night school? The police are baffled.5/10 - Might've seen this before, but I can't remember. Anyway, it's an okay whodunit slasher, though quite predictable. Also some terrible acting, which also comes to no surprise.
- DirectorJohn Erick DowdleStarsStacy ChboskyBen MessmerSamantha RobsonIn an abandoned house in Poughkeepsie, New York murder investigators uncover hundreds of tapes showing decades of a serial killer's work.6/10 - Overrated. No real point to it, but there are some decent scenes and it's an interesting faux documentary overall. Sadly there are some pretty big plot holes and things that are never properly explained.
- DirectorPollyanna McIntoshStarsCooper AndrewsLauryn CannyKristina ArntzA direct sequel to 2011's The Woman.5/10 - Sadly the movie didn't really deliver much. Just focused on the Darlin' character trying to learn things in the religious girl's school. A missed opportunity to offer more with the initial premise.
- DirectorJosh LoboStarsScott PoythressAJ BowenSusan BurkeA man descends into paranoia after trapping what he believes to be the devil in his basement, but things take a dark turn when his family unexpectedly arrive for Christmas.5/10 - Good concept, but wow is the movie slow. Unfortunately too slow for its own good.
- DirectorChristian VolckmanStarsOlga KurylenkoKevin JanssensJoshua WilsonMatt and Kate buy an isolated house. While moving, they discover a strange room that grants them an unlimited number of material wishes. But since Kate has had two miscarriages, what they long for the most is a child.6/10 - Decent movie, but certain character decisions kind of annoyed me and took me out of the movie a little.
- DirectorJason MewesStarsJason MewesVinnie JonesJaime CamilJason Mewes, attempting method acting in order to gain more respect for himself in Hollywood, slowly descends into madness.5/10 - Lots of cameos for such a mediocre movie.
- DirectorMike AhernEnda LoughmanStarsMaeve HigginsBarry WardWill ForteRose, a mostly sweet and lonely Irish driving instructor, must use her supernatural talents to save the daughter of Martin (also mostly sweet and lonely) from a washed-up rock star who is using her in a Satanic pact to reignite his fame.7/10 - Surprisingly good movie. Nice little story and quite a few funny moments. Enjoyable flick overall.
- DirectorRichard Bates Jr.StarsKim DelaneyRay WiseAmanda CrewA woman goes to the countryside to spend a quiet weekend after losing her job and having her last complicated relationship implode. She rents a country house from an old-fashioned widower, who struggles to hide his psychopathic tendencies.5/10 - Weird, kinda slow at times. Ultimately not very good.
- DirectorDick MaasStarsHuub StapelMonique van de VenSerge-Henri ValckeA hard-boiled police detective sets out to capture a gruesome serial killer terrorizing the canals of Amsterdam.6/10 - Starts off like a standard whodunit-type slasher, but turns into somewhat of an action movie. Decent watch overall.
- DirectorJesse HollandAndy MittonStarsAnnette O'TooleClark FreemanJohn GloverMiles Grissom offers $30,000 to the first person who can prove to him that we go on after death.6/10 - Scares could've been better, but it's focus was more on story than anything, which is fine since it turned out to be a surprisingly decent movie.
- DirectorRay XueStarsKeenan TraceyBrittany RaymondSpencer MacphersonMiriam, Derek, Ian, and Jenny are overachieving high school students doing everything by the book. Straight A's, sports, yearbook, band, and - when coursework allows - planning and executing elaborate murders.6/10 - Interesting story, albeit a bit far fetched. Climax was also kinda sloppy, but the movie overall was pretty decent.
- DirectorMickey KeatingStarsAshley BellJames Landry HébertMark KassenSeveral psychopaths wreak havoc over the course of a violent night.4/10 - Pretty bad movie. Just a bunch of nonsense and violence. No real story or point to it.
- DirectorRick SloaneStarsTom BartlettPaige SullivanSteven BoggsA young security guard must track down diminutive aliens who kill people even as they make their fantasies come true.3/10 - Hilariously bad.
- DirectorEvan CecilStarsSean Patrick FlaneryLindsey MorganAndrew JacobsFor 100 years, stories have been told about a cult near Hackett Ranch where people have been kidnapped and never found. The owners of the ranch say they know nothing about it. Guess where this year's rodeo is?6/10 - Decent movie despite there being zero story and no reason behind any of it. Kept my interest.
- DirectorMike MendezStarsDave LarsenDavid GunnDamian HofferOdessa and Kyle James were just your average American boys until the night they went upstairs and killed their parents in cold blood... and smiled.6/10 - Rewatched. Hadn't seen this movie in years. Still pretty crazy. Still fairly decent.
- DirectorGorman BechardStarsFrances ShermanMark WalkerCarl KochAlicia has started getting these very noisy, and disturbing phone calls. The question is, are they real, or is it all in her head?3/10 - Terribly boring, from the story and pacing to the characters and kills.
- DirectorZak HilditchStarsCarmen EjogoTheo RossiEmma GreenwellWhen a single mother accepts the help of a mysterious woman after her daughter is bitten by a rattlesnake, she finds herself making an unthinkable deal with the devil to repay the stranger.5/10 - An okay movie, nothing new. Seen a lot worse and seen a lot better.
- DirectorCiarán FoyStarsCharlie ShotwellKelly ReillyMax MartiniA boy receiving treatment for his auto-immune disorder discovers that the house he's living in isn't as safe as he thought.6/10 - Decent movie, but with a silly climax.
- DirectorMark YoungStarsScout Taylor-ComptonOlivia LuccardiLew TempleStudents fight to survive a weekend in the woods.6/10 - Better than expected, but still not quite good. Some serious pacing issues being the biggest issue.
