Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones

I honestly don’t know where to begin; this movie is so bad that […]
Devil’s Due
[formatp]My god, what a tediously insufferable film this turned out to be. First of all, I am a big fan of the found footage supernatural/horror genre and love watching even the lesser acclaimed films. I am the type of viewer that draws the positives out of a very flawed film and enjoy it. So I […]
Ouija
[formatp]Oh how I had very high hopes for this movie. Honestly. I love these types of flicks because of the chills, and jumps they induce.

The Legend of Hercules
[formatp]Ok, so the number one, undisputed, worst film of the year (Legend of Hercules) was sooo bad that…wow, just wow. I have seen some bad movies in my life, but this movie is the cherry on the cake and when I say “cake” I mean a disaster of such cataclysm that makes the rest of […]

Cinephiles everywhere were surprised that […]

Die Hard
