My main motivation for this was because I thought the prospect of a Christmas horror sounded like fun. With that said, reviews are very average for the film, so I decided not to

This third one, once more directed by Damien Leone, had been given the franchise's highest budget yet, which took a comparatively huge jump up to two million dollars, from the mere two-hundred-and-fifty thousand dollars tha

My experience with the filmmaker had, to this point, been limited to 'Licorice Pizza' ; a film I did not like, and found very problematic, and 'There Will Be Blood' ; a film that blew me away. I was far more hopeful about this film, however, because it seems to

It has had an extremely good critical reception since it debuted at the iconic Cannes Film Festival, and is one of a number of highly acclaimed m

This too is considered by many to be a masterful piece of anime, and one that is a must watch for fans of adult animated cinema. I was able to watch this at one of my local cinemas, which was great, considering

I was fully prepared for this Ben Wheatley directed sequel to be a truly terrible film as well, but I thought similarly that it'd be terrible in the highly amusing way that the first one was, or at least, that was the hope. There was, as expecte

By this point in its run, the franchise had more than solidified itself as the king of the extreme horror genre, and was known for its creative traps and shoc
