FlixChatter Review – Annabelle: Creation (2017)

Directed By: David F. Sandberg Written By: Gary Dauberman Runtime: 1 hr 49 minutes I've never understood why people find dolls in horror movies scary. They can't bend their limbs, they're usually made of porcelain or plastic or something else not very durable, and they're usually not any taller than your knee. You can just drop-kick …

Guest Review: RINGS (2017)

Directed By: F. Javier Gutiérrez Written By: David Loucka, Jacob Estes and Akiva Goldsman Runtime: 1 hr 45 minutes I get scared pretty easily.

Guest Review: Ouija: Origin of Evil (2016)

I’m going to be honest: my expectations for this movie were not high. This mostly has to do with its predecessor, 2014’s Ouija (brought to you by Hasbro Studios: the same company responsible for next fall’s My Little Pony: The Movie - no, I’m not kidding).

FlixChatter Review: Blair Witch (2016)

The original Blair Witch Project came out almost 20 years ago and it ignited the found-footage genre. Personally I was never a fan of the original movie or the genre itself. I found the concept to be idiotic and lacking creativity. Initially, I wasn’t that interested in seeing this sequel/remake but when I found out …
