Movie Review – Chris Ranson on All Cheerleaders Die (2013)

Title: All Cheerleaders Die (2013) Directors: Lucky McKee, Chris Sivertson Runtime: 88 minutes — I’m always excited when Branden is able to hook us up with review copies of films, but despite him giving me a choice on what to watch, I always tell him to surprise me. Thankfully, this time, I ended up with…


TriBeCa Film Festival 2014 – Chris Ranson on Miss Meadows (2014)

TriBeCa Film Festival 2014 Title: Miss Meadows (2014) Director: Karen Leigh Hopkins Runtime: 88 minutes — There were three non-horror films I wanted to see at the 2014 TriBeCa Film Festival.

Movie Review – Chris Ranson on A Haunted House 2 (2014)

Title: A Haunted House 2 (2014) Director: Michael Tiddes Runtime: 87 minutes — The horror spoof genre has been on a downward spiral since the Scary Movie films turned lame.
