- DirectorJohn GulagerStarsDanielle PanabakerVing RhamesDavid HasselhoffAfter the events at Lake Victoria, the pre-historic school of blood-thirsty piranhas make their way into a newly opened waterpark.Only recommended for those who are looking for a good take on the grade b horror genre. If you take this movie seriously you should stay away from it. 6.2/10
- DirectorHenry JoostAriel SchulmanStarsChloe CsengeryJessica Tyler BrownChristopher Nicholas SmithIn 1988, young sisters Katie and Kristi befriend an invisible entity called Toby, who resides in their home.I know a lot of people don't like the PA series, I don't love them i just enjoy them. The third entry i liked the most out of all of them the fan camera was a clever trick that made me nervous. 6.6/10
- DirectorXavier GensStarsLauren GermanMichael BiehnMilo VentimigliaSurvivors of a nuclear attack are grouped together for days in the basement of their apartment building, where fear and dwindling supplies wear away at their dynamic.One hell of a film. Not for everyone as it's dark, savage and at times downright distrubing. Xaviar Gens (director) takes viewers into an apocalyptic time where human behavior becomes extreme. 8.4/10
- DirectorLucky McKeeStarsPollyanna McIntoshBrandon Gerald FullerLauren Ashley CarterWhen a successful country lawyer captures and attempts to "civilize" the last remaining member of a violent clan that has roamed the Northeast coast for decades, he puts the lives of his family in jeopardy.Again, this is one of those films that is downright disturbing at times. Don't watch this one with your kids lol, no but seriously this is a pretty damn good movie with a crazy ending. 6.4/10
- DirectorNicolás GoldbartStarsDaniel HendlerJazmín StuartYayo GuridiInside a quarantined apartment building a man must protect his pregnant wife from his new neighbors.The 5.8 imdb rating (at the time of this typing) on this film baffles me, i thought it was well done and while it didn't have the best acting it didn't have the worst. It had some parts that made me literally go "HOLY SH*T"! Perhaps people found it somewhat boring or slow moving, I for one thought it was a fine film. 7/10
- DirectorMatthew ParkhillStarsRachelle LefevreStephen MoyerLorna RaverA young divorcee is getting her life back together by moving into an apartment. But what will she do when a strange person repeatedly calls her, and threatens to change her new life around?This movie was pretty good, I wasn't expecting much from it but was pleasantly surprised. The twist will probably divide viewers overall I thought it was a good movie with a pretty good twist that could of been better, but I still recommended this film. 6.7/10
- DirectorTrent HaagaStarsWill KeenanTimothy MuskatellChad FerrinLance Reed is forced by a psychotic stranger to confront his duplicitous past. Seeking retribution for a crime, the man forces Lance to reveal his inner most secrets by systematically removing his limbs.After seeing Yellowbrick Road I was hesitant to see another Bloodydisgusting select film. This being more along the lines of a horror/comedy I decided to give it a shot. I ended up enjoying this film, due to its premise which I found fairly original. 6.5/10

They start to follow a mysterious hunter, learning that he is actually a troll hunter.Absolutely blew me away. Despite its flaws it holds its ground, the flaws quickly become something thats forgiven due to how well done this movie really is. I cannot recommend this movie enough, If you haven't seen it, seek it out! 9.1/10
P.S. Screw you Hollywood for trying to remake this - DirectorAlexandre AjaStarsElisabeth ShueJerry O'ConnellRichard DreyfussAfter a sudden underwater tremor sets free scores of the prehistoric man-eating fish, an unlikely group of strangers must band together to stop themselves from becoming fish food for the area's new razor-toothed residents.Some great gore in this, if your looking for something that doesn't take itself too seriously than you can't go wrong with this one. 6.4/10

In a twist of fate the rescue of the sister becomes inadvertently intertwined with the lives of a group of young tennis players, a ranger and his dog, as well as a team of policemen.Aka "Rabies" this Israeli film was pretty damn crazy, a lot happened within its runtime yet it was easy to follow. Check it out if you can find it. 7/10
- DirectorCarlos BrooksStarsBriana EviganCharlie TahanGarret DillahuntA thriller centered on a young woman and her autistic little brother who are trapped in a house with a ravenous tiger during a hurricane.A teenage girl is trapped in her house with her autistic younger brother due to a hurricane outside oh yeah there's also a tiger in the house.

I was very surprised how good it was it was suspenseful and it helped that they used real tigers. 7.1/10
