A small, nightly visitor brings Leah comfort, but soon she will realise that her little visitor offers knowledge that might be very, very dangerous.5/10 - More drama than horror. A bit too slow paced for me, especially with little payoff.
- DirectorVincent ParonnaudStarsLucie DebayArieh WorthalterCiaran O'Brien"The company of wolves is better than that of man." Once upon a frenzied time, Woman meets Man. Woman dances with Man. Man kisses Woman. Man grips Woman. Woman escapes Man. Man chases Woman - nothing new. Or is there?6/10 - Somewhat decent wilderness survival horror. Nothing new or special, but fairly entertaining.

There's just one problem: a murderer is on the loose and he also has taken refuge there.6/10 - Decent giallo throwback. Some alright deaths and above average gore. Unfortunately, it has some major pacing issues, which is my biggest complaint. Not too bad otherwise.

In the 1930s, a young reverend, his wife and daughter move into a manor with a horrifying secret.5/10 - Standard supernatural tale. Some okay moments towards the end, but too slow for its own good.

- DirectorTina HirschStarsHarvey KormanCharlie StrattonNadine Van der VeldeA scientist discovers a strange little creature in a cave. The "munchie" is obviously of extraterrestrial origin, but what he doesn't know is the danger it represents.4/10 - If Gremlins were horny they'd be Munchies. I dunno how I missed this nonsense growing up, but apparently I wasn't missing much.
- DirectorHal MasonbergStarsJames Van Der BeekIvana MilicevicBrad HuntTen years have passed since the world's children fell into a coma. Tonight they're waking up and all hell is breaking loose.

- DirectorTony ScottStarsCatherine DeneuveDavid BowieSusan SarandonA love triangle develops between a beautiful yet dangerous vampire (Catherine Deneuve), her cellist companion (David Bowie), and a gerontologist (Susan Sarandon).7/10 - Good classic vampire tale that I should've seen a long time ago, but it somehow got passed me.
- DirectorThomas J. ChurchillStarsCody Renee CameronMichael CervantesSheri DavisAs Alyssa and Karla try to escape from the church home that holds them captive, Karla is slaughtered by a vicious, semi-human creature.3/10 - The worst movie I've seen all year. The only thing positive I have to say is the werewolf outfit looked "okay". The rest of the movie is terrible--directing, writing, acting, "gore". Even the music sucked. Oh, and if it wasn't obvious already, it has nothing to do with the Amityville haunting.

Regardless, it had a nice 90's kinda slasher feel and was fairly entertaining.
- DirectorAxelle CarolynStarsBarbara HersheyBruce DavisonNicholas AlexanderAfter suffering a mild stroke, Judith Albright reluctantly moves into a historic nursing home where she becomes convinced a supernatural force is killing the residents.6/10 - Predictable, but interesting tale and play on dementia. Though overall felt like something that would've aired on basic TV with its tame scares and story. LOW 6/10

They uncover Isaac's dark past secrets. Their trip turns nightmarish when they encounter a cult worshipping a sea deity.5/10 - Very slow and boring. Also, Crampton's fake accent is terrible. LOW 5/10

Nothing new.
- DirectorTyler RussellStarsEva HabermannGeorge HardyGreg SesteroIn the 1960s a nurse's last day is ruined when a doctor inadvertently creates a cyst monster that terrorizes the office.5/10 - Boring first half, but the rest is semi-entertaining to some extent.

Too slow and boring. LOW 5/10
- DirectorNeill BlomkampStarsCarly PopeChris William MartinMichael J RogersA young woman unleashes terrifying demons when supernatural forces at the root of a decades-old rift between mother and daughter are ruthlessly revealed.5/10 - Some good ideas wasted. Expected a lot better coming from Blomkamp.
- DirectorNeil MarshallStarsCharlotte KirkSean PertweeSteven WaddingtonGrace, a young widow haunted by the recent suicide of her husband Joseph, is falsely accused of being a witch by her Landlord after she rejects his advances.5/10 - Some good gore, but a MEH story that gets repetitive fast.

There, she is kidnapped by a group of locals who claim she's the devil incarnated.6/10 - Slow first half, but gets better. An above average possession flick overall.

The kids at school bully him, the girl he likes and his mom is about to marry a scoundrel. Everything changes for Gage Dobson when he stumbles into Munchie, a friendly gremlin-like creature that dresses like a lounge singer, sounds like a stand-up comedian and has magic powers.4/10 - The first movie was about horny Gremlins and somehow they turned the sequel into some silly kids movie.

One phone call connects the two, and their lives are changed irrevocably.7/10 - Better than the original in a lot of ways, though it still has some plot holes, as movies involving time travel tend to do.
- DirectorThomas SiebenStarsDavid KrossHanno KofflerMaria EhrichA hiking trip into the wild turns into a desperate bid for survival for five friends on the run from a mysterious shooter.4/10 - Same old wilderness survival flick, complete with a lot of dumb decisions, unlikable characters, unnecessary drama and a silly reveal.
