Capsule Review – Branden Chowen on Tower Heist (2011)

The Cinefessions crew loves sharing their opinions on films, but not every movie can get the attention it deserves with a full review. Enter the Cinefessions’ Capsule Reviews. These capsule reviews cover five of the most important aspects of a film, which allow the crew to deliver their opinions on any movie clearly, decisively, and…


13 Days of Halloween: Day 8.5 – Ashe Collins on Exhumed (2011)

Title: Exhumed (2011) Director: Richard Griffin Runtime: 93 minutes — Exhumed is a hard film to nail down. The acting seems off and stilted, with only one of the characters coming across as natural, at least the first time, before you realize what’s going on. But, even on a second viewing it’s hard to warm up…

Film Swappers #1 – The Burning (1981)/Creature (2011)

Title: Little Deaths (2011) Runtime: 94 minutes Directors: Sean Hogan (House & Home), Andrew Parkinson (Mutant Tool), and Simon Rumley (Bitch) — And I thought torture porn was dead. When it comes to the fine line between horror and porn, Little Deaths falls just on the horror side. Barely. This film is incredibly graphic, insanely…


Movie Review – Fright Night (2011)

Title: Fright Night (2011) Runtime: 106 minutes Director: Craig Gillepsie — I’ve heard a lot of negatives about this remake before I watched it, but still had to check it out because we recently picked up a (kick ass) 3D TV. Having never seen the original, I didn’t really know what to expect, but hoped…


Movie Review – Detention (2011)

Title: Detention (2011) Runtime: 93 minutes Director: Joseph Kahn — What a trip this film is, fueled by ’90s references and sheer craziness to deliver its most important message: “it’s just high school. It’s not the end of the world.” It’s difficult to find a spot to even begin with this pseudo-slasher film. I say…
