Why oh why do people still think it’s a smart idea to gather together in a secluded cabin? Don’t they know nothing good ever comes from it? Maybe they haven’t seen enough horror movies. In the new horror film, Never Open the Door, 6 friends soon find out that their …

This past Friday, I was desperate for entertainment and began perusing Netflix. Now, let me state that perusing Netflix with high levels of Entertainment Deprivation is never a good idea. Why?

I had to chuckle to myself when I accepted doing this review. I mean, come on! A film called I Was a Teenage Wereskunk sounded absolutely ridiculous, but that was part of the reason I took it. Watching the preview, I became slightly more intrigued that, not only was it going …

For more than 20 years, Stephen King film adaptations ruled Hollywood. From Carrie’s $33.8 million grossed on a $1.8 million budget to The Green Mile’s astonishing haul of $136 million, adapting King’s work has long been a treasure map to Box Office gold. How, then, did 2016’s Cell arrive with so little fanfare? …

The directorial career of Ulli Lommel has been a strange one. In the late-sixties/early-seventies, he was part of the acting troupe centered around Geran filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder.
