The Ceremony-When Eric Peterson (Scott Seegmiller) opens up a mysterious book left behind by a roommate, he unlocks a powerful curiosity within himself that cannot be contained. After growing increasingly disturbed, Eric then discovers he is trapped. James Palmer writes and directs this mystifying, frightening thriller that explores the power of unexplainable occurrences. Art Roberts and Jeremy Grant Horton co-star.

Slowest movie ever! But, it does somehow keep you interested so, you'll keep watching. Was worth watching.

Blackout-When three people wind up trapped in an elevator, it seems like a mere nuisance at first. But with no light and little hope of help arriving, the situation turns tense -- then becomes a nightmare when one of them is revealed to be a serial killer. As nerves fray and emotions intensify, the ordeal devolves into pure animal survival. Amber Tamblyn, Aidan Gillen and Armie Hammer star in this unnerving psychological thriller.

Dark movie. Not bad, not excellent. Intense torture scene.

Couldn't find a good trailer.

My Little Eye-Five young people must bunk together for six months as part of a reality TV show that will award its winner $1 million. The catch is that if even one person leaves, no one wins a cent. As the players -- brainiac Danny (Stephen O'Reilly), loafer Rex (Kris Lemche), frat boy Matt (Sean CW Johnson), perfect Emma (Laura Regan) and aspiring actress Charlie (Jennifer Sky) -- settle in, things turn ugly when one of them is found dead.

Decent movie. Good twists.

Voices (Korean, Subtitled)-As her family and friends inexplicably turn on each other -- husbands attacking wives, friends murdering friends, and even parents slaying children -- a young woman begins to fear that she will be the next victim. When some of the murderers reveal that they heard strange voices commanding them to kill, the girl realizes that no one can be trusted and no one is safe, in this South Korean horror film based on the popular comic book series.

Pretty good movie, some scary scenes. Very bloody movie. Great scene of main character laying in bed with blood hovering above her and a creepy face coming out of it. Very twisty and one that makes you think afterwards.

Bruiser-Henry Creedlow (Jason Flemyng) awakens to a nightmare world in which he has no face, features or identity. Stripped of everything he's ever known, he sets out on a bloody rampage to destroy the people who've betrayed him, including his philandering wife (Nina Garbiras), his belittling boss (Peter Stormare) and his evil best friend (Andrew Tarbet). Fans of horror-punk rockers the Misfits will relish their role in the film's gritty climax.

Was cool to see The Misfists in this movie. Since it was a George A. Romero movie, I thought it would be excellent. It was ok. I like the revenge part of it. Not a horrible film. Just wasn't as great as I hoped it would be.

The Perfect Witness-When struggling filmmaker Mickey Gravatski (Wes Bentley) inadvertently records a notorious serial killer (Mark Borkowski) in the middle of a murderous act, he decides to use the footage to blackmail the madman into being the subject of a disturbing new documentary. Directed by Thomas Dunn, this unsettling psychological thriller explores the dark side of the human psyche and the depths to which one man will sink to make his mark.

Ok, so you film a serial killer kill someone, then you blackmail him so you can make a documentery about him. Stuuuupid! This was a good movie but, you just can't help yourself from thinking how stupid Mickey is for even doing this, I mean, what did you think was going to happen, getting close to a serial killer? Hello?

Vile-Four friends are kidnapped and brought to a decrepit house, where they're locked in a room with six strangers. They have 24 hours to mount an escape, but they must endure excruciating pain in order to win their freedom.

A definate "torture porn". Good story and decent ending. Do not watch if you are sensitive to torture scenes, that is pretty much the whole movie. It actually left me asking myself, if I would go that far to stay alive. Sticking your arm in hot boiling water, or leaning up against a hot iron...I think I would rather die than go what these people go through. But, you never know.

Good movie, thumbs up!

Visable Secret(Asian, Subtitled)-Peter is head over heels in love with a woman he's just met named June. The couple's love grows quickly and is so supercharged that Peter pays scant attention when June casually mentions that she sees poltergeists. But it isn't long before Peter notices more than a few bumps in the night and must force himself to look into her mysterious and troubled past ... that is, if they're to have any future together!

My first real Asian B Horror flick. Must say, it started out great. Two minutes into the movie we already have a headless body walking around...yes walking. Worth watching if you like comedy mixed in with your horror.

Spliced (The Wisher)-Freddie Krueger, eat your heart out! Mary is your average teenager who loves horror movies. So when she hears about the newest scary flick, she knows she has to see it. But when Mary catches a glimpse of the movie's villain -- a deformed killer known as The Wisher -- she runs from the theater in fright. Unfortunately, The Wisher follows her home and begins invading her dreams and making her darkest wishes come true!

One word. Lame. The lead actress in this is so annoying, and horrible, she is the reason this movie is a horror. I chose this film because I thought it pertained to myself but, it really wasn't a good story at all. Spare yourselves!

Occupant-When his late grandmother leaves him her rent-controlled apartment in New Your, Danny Hill movies in...only to discover that he isn't exactly alone. Suddenly, home sweet home doesn't seem so sweet in this creepy thriller.

Very good movie, though, it left me wondering...which is a good thing. It was able to make shoes creepy, imagine that! lol. Definitely, a weird dark movie that leaves you hanging. Least in my opinion. Anyone seen it? Any thoughts on it?

Slim till Dead (Subtitled)-Writer-director-producer Wong Jing's take on the Hong Kong trend of "slimming" takes a gruesome turn as a series of young film stars begin turning up missing, later to  be discovered dead and emaciated.

I really liked this movie...it was not reall a horror to me but, the main character is such a lovable guy, you really enjoy watching him. The story line was pretty good, and, it did have a bit of a twist in the end. Not much gore, so, good for those who are sensitive to that.

Dread-For a college study, a student interviews people about their darkest fears, then uses the data to methodically torment his hapless subjects.

Very dark movie. Very good. Actually got emotion in some scenes. 

Thumbs up.

The Final-Using gruesome forms of torture, an unpopular high school kid leads a group of outcasts taking revenge on the "cool" kids who've always harassed them.

This is one I really thought I'd enjoy. I am sure most of us have been bullied at some time in our lives, and have wanted the tables to turn on the bully. Of course, in this movie they go to the extreme. Was disappointed on how it ended but, well worth watching. 

(I am not advocating anyone torturing their bullies by any means, but maybe it wouldn't hurt if all bullies had to watch this movie)

Thumbs up.

Cinderella (Korean, Subtitled)-The daughter of successful female plastic surgeon, the teenage Hyun-soo (Se-kyeong Shin) is the envy of her art school friends, who all want the perfect face. But after her friends go under the knife and start dying mysterious deaths, Hyun-soo must investigate her mother's darkest secrets. This suspenseful -- and gruesome -- horror film is South Korean director Man-dae Bong's second feature.

Great movie. Disturbing scenes. Scary moments. And a nice twist in the end.

Thumbs up!
