Quarantäne (2008) Film-Streaming

. It's very manipulative, it's very maddening -- and yet I found it very entertaining.. I have seen many execrable films -- Plan 9 From Outer Space, Disaster Movie, Batman & Robin -- but never has a movie made me so physically ill.. Has shocks and a solid performance, but no intelligence to go with them.. Never comes out from under the weight of its dreariness, despite fine acting, foot chases and conspiracy theories galore.. Even those who despise remakes will have to admit that director John E...

I recommend this movie to everyone out there want to see an epic action movie that delivers to every sense of the word and I'm not WHO Easily could be convinced with good action no matter how big and famous. I recommend this movie to everyone out there want to see an epic action movie that delivers to every sense of the word and I'm not WHO Easily could be convinced with good action no matter how big and famous. The film conceals as much as it reveals, and its beauty is that it pretends to do no...

Silent Hill: Revelation 3D (2012) Download Voll

Silent Hill: Revelation 3D quickly devolves into a smorgasbord of sutured faces and blades poking the viewer in the eye.. Demonstrates what half the budget and twice the story can do to turn a fake nightmare into a real chore.. "Revelation" is incredibly boring as well as totally baffling.. Only true devotees of the game are likely to recognize many of the figures on the screen, or care about a byzantine story stitched together from innumerable horror and fantasy shows.. The distinction between ...

Evil Dead (2013) Streaming-

"Oculus" is not just a howling good horror film. It's a terrific film by any standard - a smart, character-driven, original hair-raiser that creeped the socks off me with no cheap scares.. Raimi set the bar high, and if Alvarez can't quite rise to his level, he overcompensates by drowning everything in blood. It's overkill, but in this case that's not such a bad thing.. Despite much old-school splatter, it's seldom frightening and oddly unfunny.. "Oculus" director Mike Flanagan has crafted a sat...

TDR - The Devil's Rejects (2005) Streaming-

It's an audacious piece of filmmaking, but after a while it grows exhausting to watch, particularly when it becomes clear that violence is going to lead to more violence without much story or conscience surfacing.. The first 15 minutes and last half hour are terrific, and the stunningly violent middle part is only a partial waste.. If we're supposed to hang out with these creeps in order, eventually, to like them, well, we don't.. The Devil's Rejects doesn't just deserve to be rejected, but to b...

Das Omen (2006) Film-Streaming

If the movie didn't take itself so seriously, it could have been a great popcorn muncher. As is, it'll still work fine for those willing to forgive its trespasses.. It's a terrible sign for a movie when the sole reason for its existence is a satanic opening date.. I don't approve of remakes, but The Omen redux is riveting, imaginative and ultimately bone-chillingly satisfying.. In their religious fidelity to the original, director John Moore and writer David Seltzer don't attempt to paper over a...

Der Babadook (2014) Film-Streaming

As someone who has developed a pretty thick Critic's Shield from years of watching standard haunted house/possessed human/mythological-creature fare, I have to say I was genuinely freaked out by some of the passages in The Badabook.. A potent journey through the fears, anxieties, and repressed rages of motherhood.. This is a dark and shivery story about motherhood, a common subject for horror movies, but one that's rarely treated with such intelligence or seriousness of intent.. With its mixture...
