In the high stakes HollywoodHollywood reviews blockbuster poker game, Roland Emmerich is going all in with “2012.” A disaster movie to end all disaster movies, “2012” is an enormous moviegoing event guaranteed to make eyes bleed and ears burst with its sheer scale and thundering execution. To bend the dictionary a little, it’s positively ginormous. “2012” is also disturbingly repetitive, obnoxiously noisy, and almost pornographic in length. Instead of providing a comforting bowl of melted apocalyptic cheese, Emmerich wants to beat the living hell out of his audience instead, staging doom after doom, death after death, until it reaches a nauseating spin of sensorial overload. It’s cinematic waterboarding and there was more than one occasion during the film when I was convinced it was never going to end. [Read more...]

The Storytellers try to help you with peaceful sleep infused with good dreams of happiness, confidence and strength. Tilting the scale on the other side are the sinister Incubis who use nightmares of death, fear and humiliation.

Any of you like movies about aliens? You know, like Close Encounters of the Third KindClose Encounters of the Third Kind reviews or Fire in the SkyFire in the Sky reviews? Well you are in luck. Universal Pictures has released their one sheet for their science fiction thriller The Fourth Kind that will hit theaters on NovemberNovember reviews 6th. The teaser posters didn’t leave much to the imagination – showing a body floating off the bed while  explaining the term “fourth kind” as being the label used for alien encounters that involve abduction. But the one sheet pretty much confirms that is what the film will be about by detailing the four different types of alien encounters that most of us still remember ever since Steven Spielberg had little Barry Guiler open the back door to the home he shared with his mother.

Authorities arrested Belew on a criminal mischief warrant on SundaySunday reviews then officially charged with 1st degree murder. [Read more...]

What would the world be like without horror remakes? Probably a happier place. The StepfatherThe Stepfather reviews was a 1987 genre classic, constructing a tremendously suspenseful chiller out of a fine collection of untested actors and mere pennies for a budget. Take out a few synth stings and fogged lighting techniques, and it still holds up damn well today, elevated by Terry O’Quinn’s masterful take on demented Robert Young envy. The new Stepfather is 100 minutes of dopey behavior and filmmaking inanity wrapped up tight in a bland, gutless PG-13 wooby, taking a proven premise and watering it down to a parade of nonsense created only to tickle gullible teen audiences. We’ve danced this dance a hundred times before, but it never ceases to kill a few brain cells and leave behind deep scratches of impatience on the armrest. [Read more...]

Katie and Micah are a couple experiencing some strange events in their home; strange noises, lights turning off and on by themselves, and soft whispering in the middle of the night. This is not an odd occurrence for Katie — this kind of thing has been happening to her since she was a child. Some kind of entity has been following her all her life, no matter where she lives.

At first Katie is reluctant, thinking that this will just make the situation worse, but she consents and even lets Micah set the camera up to record them while they sleep. The camera captures paranormal activity almost immediately and Katie’s initial fears are validated as things do get worse. Much, much worse. [Read more...]

Grief, death, and rusty scissors collide in Lars von Trier’s AntichristAntichrist reviews. A metaphysical sojourn with cinema’s loudest spoilsport, the picture stuns and sickens, almost daring viewers to keep watching as it articulates the ravages of the unwound mind, filling the frame with demented acts of unspeakable violence and deeply considered thematic stimulation. For fans of Trier, Antichrist is a return to his once irresistible provocative appetites, shamelessly exploiting suffering and misogyny to generate the outrage that fuels his daydreams (and bank accounts). It’s a pitch-black torrential downpour of pain, and should only be approached by those willing to allow Trier 100 precious minutes to play his madcap mind games. [Read more...]

Some time in the not so distant future, video games will allow a gamer to control a real, live person instead of a  computer generated avatar. Two of the most popular games of this type are Societysociety, a Simssims reviews type game in which beautiful, desperate people are paid to let others control them from the comfort of their weight-stressed computer chairs. The second game, Slayers, is broadcast weekly and features death row inmates who have  signed up to be controlled by game players in death match skirmishes against other death row inmates. The controller gets the fame and celebrity status while the prisoner, if he wins 30 rounds, is awarded a full pardon. Kable (real name Tilman), the current game leader and crowd favorite, has been kicking ass in concert with his 17-year-old controller, Simon. They are on the eve of winning the game but Slayer’s creator, Ken Castle,  has different plans for Kable that do not include winning, and much more sinister plans for the rest of the world.

It’s no secret to those who know me that I love fall. Even today as I left for work, there was a slight chill in the air and a faint smell of woodsmoke. These subtle first signs of my favorite season made me do something I am anatomically incapable of doing on a regular basis – I smiled a little. It’s ok, more importantly I’M ok – no need to worry, my scowl beat it into submission rather quickly. But along with this season comes my favorite holiday, HalloweenHalloween reviews (which we will talk about on a later date) and the Fall Movie lineup. So I have compiled a list for myself – that some of you twisted fucks can use as well – detailing what movies a Dreamin’ Demon member should try to catch for the month of September. [Read more...]
