Here comes another great French horror flick. This one too is based on true events, although loosely I can imagine that worse things than this happened. With a bit of research you can find out that the similar story happened to an Austrian couple. So Clementine is French teacher working in school in Romania, and [...]

This British movie used the classical American premise of driving, trucks and bad things happening on a highway. The young couple in relationship problems witnessed a naked girl in the back of the white truck. She is chained down and obviously kidnapped, and the question is what to do. Although the production did not have [...]
Here`s another movie that deals with serial killers. This one is based on a life of one of the most perverse and sick serial killers that ever lived. Of course, we are talking about Albert Fish. The facts that he was an elderly man, and that he committed these atrocious acts in the 1920s are [...]
This commercial horror turned out pretty decent. Using a video game, instead of some Internet site, to kill its characters it did not go far from the clichés in the industry but did manage to be interesting. When a group of friends discover a new underground game Stay Alive, and of course, they soon start [...]
What a great movie! As soon as I saw Chris O’Dowd (IT Crowd), I knew this is going to be good. It combines great story and acting with amazing visual effects (it`s a shame that those scenes were so short) and the end result is phenomenal. Three blokes, working at dead end jobs gather in a [...]
Another horror movie that uses the premise based on a true events. This time, the foundation of the story is laid properly, since the events in this movie happened to some extent. An American student was killed during a spring break in a occult ceremony, and later on police discovered bodies of other victims. Cult [...]
This movie really surprised me when I first saw it, I was expecting a watered-down attempt of a comedy, but the movie is actually quite good. In some unknown town, three people decide to rob a bank at same time, of course, none of them knows about the others. Script is well written and the [...]
I liked the relaxed approach to directing, and to this movie in general. They are not trying to make a wow flick, just an ordinary good movie. Michael Douglas is slightly insane father of Miranda a young teenager, when he is released from an mental institution he comes to his daughters place to live. She [...]
David Cronenberg directed this movie, so I had high hopes that it will be as good as any other. This was partially true. Ralph Fiennes plays Spider, a quiet and slightly mentally disturbed man. He arrives to a nursing home for the slightly insane people, where he will relive his childhood and the events that [...]
I expected more from this movie, given its origin and the director it turned out to be quite confusing and unfinished. But underneath all the problems it is worth watching. There are some borrowed elements from Alien and other movies regarding space stations, but the blend of these motives is pretty decent. Set in the [...]
In todays world of modern CGI effects, and high budget computer animated cartoons, seeing this movie is really refreshing. Using puppets and good story this movie managed to be interesting after all this time. Brian Froud, an exceptional artist with an unlimited imagination, really brought to life this story. The story is set in a [...]
Year One is a movie about two friends Zed and Oh, one is hunter and other is a gatherer. They live in a dawn of mankind and are basically having the same problems as us now. After some incidents they are banished from their tribe and forced to find a new home. And now, something about movie, [...]
Due to the scheduling conflicts, lack of time and money, I am forced to change the update rate of the site to one movie per day. I sincerely hope that this problem will be resolved in the next two or three weeks tops and expect that during the start the of the October this will [...]
Highwaymen is a thriller that uses very strange premise of a serial hit and run killer. The acting is decent, although I did not quite get way James Caviezel must be so serious and weird. As his girl, Rhona Mitra is more than convincing, and beautiful I might add. So James`s wife dies at car [...]
John Dahl(You Kill Me, Joy Ride, Rounders) brought us another good movie. You already know what to expect: good story, interesting characters and a lot of dark humor. And again, the experience is boosted by good performances by leading and supporting actors. Nicolas Cage, Lara Flynn Boyle, Dennis Hopper and J.T. Walsh really enhanced the quality of the movie. Michael Williams [...]
This movie is not a classical low budget blunder trying to cash in on the fact that it’s about serial killer. Granted, the budget was small,but that did not made a big impact on the movie. Script is well written, and constructed. Realistically portraying the torture in his childhood years, that later on led to [...]
Talk about sick and fucked up movies… This one is both, and really disturbing in addition. Story is set towards the end of World War II, in a Japanese prison camp. There the Japanese will conduct experiments on humans and animals. Its like the Japanese version of the Josef Mengele (Angel Of Death), with the [...]
David Helfgott is a child prodigy. He plays the piano like no other child, and as he is growing up his father keeps pushing him to reach his limits. You often see this kind of the abuse in young tennis players, and I guess that extends to any other type of competition. Pushed beyond its [...]
Another great relaxing movie, and when I say relaxing I do not mean that it is boring or without action, but that you can watch and enjoy in good script, actors and easygoing story. Harold Pendel(Geoffrey Rush) is humble and fuzzy tailor in Panama(well dougha) and after meeting with Andrew Osnard(Pierce Brosnan) a retired British [...]
Set in the 1999 alternative future, this science fiction movie is really something original. Although it uses a familiar subject of memory recording and than reliving it manages to stay on its course. Lenny Nero is a small time memory dealer, providing the people memories of other people so that they can feel that they [...]
