BRUISER (2000)-George Romero film that has an interesting premise, but doesn't fully use it successfully. Worth seeing, but don't expect DAWN OF THE DEAD or MARTIN. ***

"Mercy" 8/10

What do you get if you take a Stephen King story and add a tad of Lovecraft? Witchcraft. And a pretty good horror movie.

The Lovecraft is just for show and the ending might be a little Disneyish, but it's still a good watch. As in any other King adaption there's known actors in the lead roles and they all do a good job in this one. Also, the story is kind of confusing, at least it was to me. Like, it took me forever to figure out who the aunt was and I never figured out what part Dylan McDermott played in the background story. And what happened to the childrens dad? Oh well, STILL a good movie.

And holy hell does Frances O'Connor hold her age well. That's witchcraft right there.

The Calling - 2014

Susan Sarandon & Gil Bellows

This was a very different type of movie; I liked the plot and it has a great cast. I still find myself having questions about it......

"Detective Hazel Micallef hasn't had much to worry about in the sleepy town of Fort Dundas until a string of gruesome murders in the surrounding countryside brings her face to face with a serial killer driven by a higher calling."

I give it a B+.

The Town That Dreaded Sundown (2014)
C+
Not great but better than I expected and better than average.
Haven't seen the original so I can compare.
But I can say it's no sequel or remake.

Djinn (2013)



Hard to believe this is the latest TOBE HOOPER film!! :shocked:
Another so called "Jinn" flick that give very little damn about anything related with original mythology.
Very mediocre overall with a quite lame plot line, mostly looked like a TV episode or an anthology segment from a young director.

The Houses October Built (2014)



The idea was interesting...a group of friends set off on a road trip in an RV to track down underground 'extreme haunt' in haunted house attractions at Halloween season...which I think would be better fit as a VHS like anthology segment instead of a full feature length film. The BLUE SKELETON gang of clowns & weird characters was kinda really freaky & that kept my interest till the end but the big let down was the final climax. Expected a lot more; just when all the freaky things started it felt like they ran out of idea & forcefully put an end to it.
