Deadly Detour (2011)
When car troubles leave a group of Florida-bound friends stranded in rural Maryland, a deformed maniac (The Goat Man!!) emerges from the forest to slaughter them one-by-one.
Very poorly directed, horribly acted a low budget slasher with decent amount of gore and so yeah...it's worth to call an utter crap; BUT at the end unexpectedly they've added a hilariously enjoyable sequence...One hell of a bloody massacre in a school bus full of blind retards!!:D I'm sure they had huge fun while shooting those scenes. So may be it's a bad idea but thinking of an evil plan to upload that sequence on a video hosting site & save others to go through the whole horrible movie. ;)
Anyway, I was almost determined to give it straightaway F or hardly a D but just for that gruesome funny ending...

Bad Meat (2011)
A group of so-called problem teens are sent by their parents to a repressive Boot Camp in the middle of nowhere, in the hope that the strict regime will transform them into youthful model citizens that their parents can be proud of. However the kids refuse to play ball, and tensions emerge between them as they try to resist the guards' sadistic methods.
Meanwhile, the camp's down-trodden cook has also tired of the abuse meted out to him by the guards, and fixes them a meal of illegal, diseased meat...a final "screw you!" before he abandons the camp. But he doesn't know that the meat is infected with a virus, which instead of simply making the guards ill as he intended, transforms them into flesh-crazed maniacs!
Oh, man...this is really a sad case! A mildly entertaining horror flick with a good cast just terribly suffers for "an ending"!! The thing is there is actually almost 'no ending' at the end. Near the end, when the final survival action part or head counts about to start then it just suddenly ends forcefully. And that's surely can be a shocker & frustrating thing for any regular horror fan, as by that time it was kinda turning into something decently funny and enjoyable watch. It was like the production ran out of money and they couldn't able to shoot the 'scripted' ending. Now, here comes the surprise part...it was actually the case! After watching the movie, I did a little online research & found
this link where the sad mystery of Bad Meat resolves.

Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning (2012)
Quite slow burn but there's some good fight scenes.

Lawless (2012)
Guy Pearce steals almost every moment he was in. Liked his wicked take on the role of a bad ass Special Deputy 'Charley Rakes'. May be the character demanded but Tom 'Ben' Hardy was kinda robotic & at times appeared in a sort of mentally challenged manner! Overall, a good crime-drama.

Gangster Squad (2013)
Pretty average; adds nothing to its genre of Hollywood gangster flicks in 50's set up. We've seen, I guess more than dozen of similar kinda films before.
>>: C+
Brave (2012)
And this wins "Best Animated Feature" in Oscar! I guess then 2012 was a very average year for Animation films.
>>: B
616: Paranormal Incident (2013)
Another low budget addition to the growing craze of found footage flicks. It was bad but I've seen worse.

Children of the Corn (2009)
A pointless TV remake. Just gave it a watch as it was the only film left in my 8 in 1 (single disc!) Children of the Corn film collection.
