Woe - Movie Review

Details: Published: 14 June 2021; Written by Loron Hays

Get rid of whatever doesn’t make you happy. Wise words, but in the context of this movie? WOW! In what goes down as a very disturbing opening, Woe begins with a solitary man, Charlie (Adam Halferty), clutching a garbage bag which is shaped like a person - a very still person. He holds the garbage bag as if ...

Infinite - Movie Review

Details: Published: 13 June 2021; Written by Loron Hays

Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, The Magnificent Seven, The Equalizer), where are you? Surely, Infinite is NOT the movie you wanted to make. Full of way too much stand still explanation that results in a quasi-nauseous feeling of déjà vu, Infinite - now streaming on Paramount Plus - is an utter disappointment as it ...

F.E.A.R. - Movie Review

Details: Published: 11 June 2021; Written by Loron Hays

Fear is a movie where a moment’s hesitation costs lives. This point is made immensely clear in the opening scene in which a young boy hesitates on offing what appears to be a very sick person. He looks to his father for some fortitude and, in that moment, the infected person STRIKES! ...

Small Soldiers (1998) - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 08 June 2021; Written by Loron Hays

In which Joe Dante, the director of Piranha, The Howling, Gremlins, The Burbs, Matinee, Innerspace, and other cult classics, turns toys into objects of delightful HORROR! It’s as if The Puppetmaster and Toy Story met in a dark alley and had a quickie, giving birth to this cult classic 9 months ...

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It - Movie Review

Details: Published: 07 June 2021; Written by Loron Hays

Satan is real and it just might take The Warrens to get you to accept it . . . especially in a court of law. The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is definitely NOT the best in the ongoing franchise, but it isn’t the worst either. The positives in this horror flick, which concerns itself a demonic possession instead of a haunted house, remain ...

Blackstock Boneyard - Movie Review

Details: Published: 04 June 2021; Written by Loron Hays

Beware the Griffin farm! The Griffin Brothers, wrongfully executed for crimes they didn’t commit are back! And, boy, are they pissed off. South Carolina will never be the same again once they finish with their murderous rampaging! ...
