The Possession of Hannah Grace – Slightly different from the norm
Synopsis: When a cop who is just out of rehab takes the graveyard shift in a city hospital morgue, she faces a series of bizarre, violent events caused by an evil entity in one of the corpses. I will admit, demonic possession, the supernatural, and most things horror are well up my alley, and given I am well versed in the ‘standard’ of such films, involving exorcism, I do have to say, The Possession of Hannah Grace, had some nice surprises. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the ope

Blow (2001) – Fast paced, based on real events.
Synopsis: The story of how George Jung, along with the Medellín Cartel headed by Pablo Escobar, established the American cocaine market in the 1970s in the United States. Starring the very talented Johnny Depp, Blow is one of those films, that differs from the fast paced, shallow actions, of it’s time. Yes, there is the ‘thrill’ aspect of fast cash and indulgent life, but I love how Blow, also focused on the human side, and the cost of George Jung (Johnny Depp) actions, bring

Malevolent - Not a scare in sight!
Synopsis: A team of scam artists get more than they bargained for when a job at a haunted country estate gets out of hand. We all know how this goes. People play around with things they do not understand, for whatever reason; curiosity, looking for a quick buck at the cost of others; trapped within a disbelief for fun. Anyway, if you are wanting to watch a paranormal horror, the why they got where they were originally, is of little relevance in the long term. Angela (Florenc

Girl on the Third Floor
Synopsis: Don Koch (Phil CM Punk) tries to renovate a rundown mansion with a sordid history for his growing family, only to learn that the house has other plans. Even though the poor, unimaginative synopsis, I thought, why not! It was late, I felt like a haunting type horror and choice wasn't really something that had the luxury of time. Honesty the intro titles were hard to read, given the ill-spaced Old English Victorian feel font and movement, so I skipped them all togethe
