This movie is adapted from a twelve book series by Darren Shan called The Saga of Darren Shan. This being the case, plus the way the movie concluded, there would be plenty of material for a sequel or two! In my opinion, this is a very good thing because this is a very good movie! This is [...]
Not a lot of mystery in this remake of the 1987 horror/thriller of the same name. Every part of this movie’s plot is telegraphed way in advance so that there is very little buildup of tension or suspense. We know that the “stepfather” is a serial killer since we see him leaving the home of [...]

Just another zombie movie? Not on your life! This is a comedy/horror film that emphasizes the comedy. This is also a ”laugh out loud” adventure with interesting and funny characters who romp through their now horrific lives with a contagious sense of humor. We start out with Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) who is a college student in Austin, [...]
