Dark Skies (2013) Download Full

It's not that Dark Skies is so awful you need to be warned away from it. It's just that it's so bland you might as well find something better to do.. Blade: Trinity does nothing more ambitious than continue a sputtering franchise.. The only one who seems to be having much fun, though, is Parker Posey, camping it up as one of the vampires.. Stewart has some lofty ambitions, some of which he almost fulfills.. Trinity is a lighter shade of Blade, delivering brisk action and cutting comedy in equal ...

Blade: Trinity (2004) Download Full

Diverting but dumb and more goth than gothic, Blade: Trinity builds up to a less-than-epochal smackdown.. Lacks anything vaguely resembling a plot, while failing to deliver suspense or thrills.. Trinity is a lighter shade of Blade, delivering brisk action and cutting comedy in equal measure.. If ever there was a case for quitting while you're behind, this Blade is it -- ready to be buried in a vat of garlic.. Vampire stories are meant to be frightening. They're meant to keep us awake at night, t...

Willow Creek (2014) Play Movie

Despite the impressively committed performances by the two leads and the screenplay's touches of sly humor, the proceedings are mostly all too redolent of the endless found-footage horror films that have followed in the wake of The Blair Witch Project. A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie.. Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. Th...

The Woman in Black (2012) Full Movie Streaming

If this is what disposable modern horror is going to look like, I'll take the classical frights of The Woman in Black over the herky-jerky hokum of The Devil Inside any day.. The director uses time-honored techniques to keep you on edge, every one of which graced Hammer films of yore. But happily for the picture, there's a reason they're time-honored.. Working on terrific sets with imaginative lighting effects and cinematography, Marshall creates a palpable sense of claustrophobia and danger we...

Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010) Play Streaming

Like pretty much all of Anderson's films, this one is half-baked. The half that's baked isn't too bad, though.. Resident Evil: Afterlife lacks the humanity -- interesting characters, funny one-liners -- that made its predecessors enjoyable B-movies.. The action is easier to read than in most films of the genre, and therefore more enjoyable. Anderson makes particular use of sets and locations to wring out more bang for the stereoscopic buck.. Anderson makes often-inspiring use of the 3-D effects,...

Freddy vs. Jason (2003) Watch Full Movie

A creaky haunted-house story that's strong on creepy atmosphere but woefully deficient in the scare department.. The moody, beautifully composed production raises it above the norm.. Haunted house movies basically live and die by their atmospherics and by the consequences to those poor mortals who come too close to the premises, and The Woman in Black delivers on both counts.. The Woman in Black is a tasteful, old-school frightener, emphasizing suspense and foreboding over blood and guts.. The d...

Knowing (2009) Watch Streaming

Dark Skies is a bore that even the most forgiving genre buffs will find difficult to defend or endure.. The movie builds a moderate, if less than monumental, level of spookiness, regardless of your ignorance. It's a workmanlike piece of suspense.. Writer-director Scott Stewart doesn't want to play his hand too early. By the time the movie is over, it's easy to see why he kept his cards close to his chest. He's not really holding anything.. The suck principle is making up for lost time. It's almo...

Spring (2015) Download Full

Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead's Spring is a clever and severely romantic creature feature that, not unlike its dim-witted bro hero, is in desperate need of a woman's touch.. True to series form, plot is nearly indiscernible, but this fourth installment in the sci-fi/horror/action franchise created by writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson is the sleekest so far, thanks to 3D and star Milla Jovovich's body-hugging catsuit.. Anderson makes often-inspiring use of the 3-D effects, though he never qui...

The Descent (2005) Full Streaming

Prepare to be scared senseless, and then, when you think you have it figured, your certainty will be shaken by scenes built to scare you even more.. This grueling trapped-in-a-cave-with-boogey-men movie is a solid thriller, and a terrific horror experience.. The movie is also spooky and atmospheric, has at least three great jolts and an equal number of memorable gross-outs, including what has to be the goriest and most protracted eye-gouging of the year.. This is one of the scariest movies featu...

The Covenant (2006) Watch Streaming

This is cobbled-together teenybopper tripe about feuding male witches with nothing to offer but classic bad dialogue.. ... a supernatural teen drama that wouldn't be so bad if you didn't have to pay good money to see it.. There is not a scary scene in the whole movie.. Generates a respectable amount of suspense and takes a few unexpected turns while covering familiar territory.. Pure garbage.. A silly slasher movie, minus the slasher.. [An] eardrum-punishing, uninspired composite of X-Men and th...

An awe-inspiring, stomach-churning journey into blood, gore, and boobs directed by one of France's most talented horror auteurs, Alexandre Aja.. There are worse things for a horror-thriller about supernatural high-schoolers to not be. Like not scary. Or not thrilling. Or not as entertaining as an episode of Charmed.. [A] muddled and most unmagical offering.. [An] eardrum-punishing, uninspired composite of X-Men and the Harry Potter series .... There is not a scary scene in the whole movie.. This...

Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004) Full Streaming

The rapidly aging cast is clearly in it for the cash, with not a single one fully committed to the task.. . The first film was tedious in the extreme; Monsters Unleashed, though it feels way too long and padded, it shows at least brief flashes of imagination.. Slightly more digestible than its predecessor.. A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography, and mesmerizing writing as well as directing, but without the talent to deliver it all, it finds itself lacking. Great!!. . Awesome as...
