Francesca (2015)
Fifteen years ago, Francesca disappeared, leaving her father, the well-known storyteller, poet and dramatist Vittorio Visconti behind. Ever since, the community has been haunted by a killer who wants to clean the city of the impure and the damned. The police are baffled and now, it seems like Francesca has finally returned. The Onetti Brothers […]
The Amityville Playhouse (2015)
Look, if you can’t have a house in Amityville, have a theater. And if you can’t shoot in Amityville, shoot your movie in Canada and the UK. After evil monkeys, lamps, lumber and furniture, what else can become part of the dark side and get possessed, you know? Spencer Banks, who plays Reverend Simon Randall, […]
Amityville Death House (2015)
Mark Polonia also made Empire of the Apes, so it stands to wonder why he waited so long to make a cash-in on the Amityville series. I mean, this is the man who also made Sharkenstein, Bigfoot vs. Zombies and multiple Camp Blood movies. Just so you know what you’re getting into — these are shot on video films […]
Sinister 2 (2015)
Sinister 2 is a rare breed — a sequel that I enjoy more than the film that proceeded it. Ciaran Foy directed it from a script that was co-written by the original film’s writer and director, Scott Derrickson. James Ransome is the only character that returns as Deputy So & So. The movie starts with […]
The Final Girls (2015)
Hey! Remember when I watched Isn’t It Romantic? This is the same director making the same movie, except instead of learning lessons from a romantic comedy, people are learning lessons from a slasher film. After another failed audition, Max Cartwright’s mother Amanda (Malin Akerman) worries that she’ll only be known for appearing in the 1986 slasher […]
Creed (2015)
Since 2013’s Fruitville Station, Ryan Coogler has seen plenty of artistic and financial success, with films like Black Panther and this one. He’s had a fruitful partnership with Michael B. Jordan, who plays Adonis Creed, the son of original Rocky nemesis, Apollo Creed. It was released on the fortieth anniversary of the original film and earned Sylvester Stallone […]
The Hateful Eight (2015)
Originally conceived it as a novel and sequel to Django Unchained, The Hateful Eight marks both a major change in Tarantino’s career — it’s the last he’d make for The Weinstein Company, as he ended his relationship with them following allegations of sexual abuse against Harvey Weinstein — while yearning back for the days of 70 […]
Seeds of Yesterday (2015)
After four V.C. Andrews movies — and the original Flowers in the Attic — nothing should surprise you. Any happy ending that the Dollanganger family finds will always be ruined in the very next film. Thirteen years later, Cathy and Chris are invited to Foxworth Hall, the same place they spent their childhood imprisoned within. Bart is […]
If There Be Thorns (2015)
Let’s say you slept with your brother, watched your husband die, then set your childhood prison on fire, which sent your mother to the looney bin and your grandmother to hell. What would you do next? This part of the Dollanganger series is set in the 1970’s. It looks like it — cinematographer James Liston […]
Deathgasm (2015)
Who knew that one of the best movies about Satanic panic and heavy metal would be made in 2015 and in the country of New Zealand? Seriously — a movie supremely influenced by D&D, Ozzy and Trick or Treat made decades later? All hail Sammi Curr. And all hail Rikki Daggers. Brodie is a misfit kid who […]
