Title: Doom (2005) Runtime: 100 minutes Director: Andrzej Bartkowiak — This is a great example of a film that receives a lot of unearned hate. Doom is a fun action flick that delivers said action in folds. It almost feels like a movie that would’ve come out in the early 1980s as a response to Alien,…

Title: Alien 3 (1992) Runtime: 145 minutes Director: David Fincher — I always hear nothing but hate for Fincher’s take on the Alien universe, and though the movie is far from perfect, I still don’t think that the hate is justified. The film’s strongest point is its practical effects. The blood and gore look great,…

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…

Title: Alien Origin (2012) Runtime: 88 minutes Director: Mark Atkins — The Asylum has the potential to surprise every so often (Paranormal Entity is a better film than Paranormal Activity; there, it’s been said), which is why I get excited whenever a new film of theirs comes out (which is practically weekly at this point)….

Title: Area 407 (2012) Runtime: 90 minutes Directors: Dale Fabrigar and Everette Wallin — For a made-for-tv horror film, I really expected this to be worse than it was. That said, this is not a good movie. Unfortunately, the incredibly cool premise – a group of people survive a plane crash, but, unbeknownst to them,…

Title: Bait (2012) Runtime: 91 minutes Director: Kimble Rendall — What a genuine surprise Bait is. I rented this expecting cheesy 3D, bad dialogue, and some terrible CGI all being used to tell a lame story. Instead of the B-grade I expected, however, Bait is a film that legitimizes itself by combining a solid orchestral score…

Title: The Faculty (1998) Runtime: 104 minutes Director: Robert Rodriguez — Kevin Williamson has got to be the greatest horror scriptwriter of the 1990s, with hits like the Scream series, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and The Faculty to his name. His scripts share a common theme: they’re smart, funny, and current to…
