Title: As Above, So Below (2014) Director: John Erick Dowdle Runtime: 93 minutes — I may have gone into As Above, So Below with rather high expectations. The buzz was strong, the trailers had me hooked, and there were positive reviews for it. My interest did drop a little when I heard it was a…

Title: Ouija (2014) Director: Stiles White Runtime: 89 minutes — The first trailer for Ouija made me want to see it. It looked fun and creepy, and who hasn’t played with one of those spirit boards? I have fond memories of playing with a Ouija board with friends, and no one would ever admit to…

Title: Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort (2014) Director: Valeri Malev Runtime: 91 minutes — The original Wrong Turn was a mediocre film, made solely to capitalize on Eliza Dushku, who wasn’t anything special in it or any other failed project she was placed into (excluding Buffy, of course). Somehow, though, we have received five sequels…

Title: See No Evil 2 (2014) Director: The Soska Sisters Runtime: 90 minutes — Sometimes I can’t help but wonder why some films get a sequel. Back in 2006, the world got to “See No Evil”. It was a WWE film with their very own Glenn “Kane” Jacobs playing a serial killer that stabbed people’s…

Title: Annabelle (2014) Director: John R. Leonetti Runtime: 98 minutes — I went into 2013’s The Conjuring with very low expectations. The director, James Wan, had previously left a bad taste in my mouth. I was happy to admit, though, that I left that film impressed. It was obvious that we were going to get…

Title: Gone Girl (2014) Director: David Fincher Runtime: 149 minutes — When I think David Fincher I instantly think of Fight Club. It’s easily one of his best works. His most recent work was the so-so Girl With The Dragon Tattoo remake, which obviously could never be as good as its Swedish counterpart. As an…
