Do you ever start watching a movie and want to turn it off immediately? That’s how I felt about ‘Dead Souls.’ You know you are in for a hard go when you’re fidgeting through the opening ‘hook’ scene... But don’t worry, things got worse from there. Because from about 20…

For a movie that had potential it turned out to be a real let down. The setting was super creepy but unfortunately they didn’t take advantage of it. I’m not a big fan of cheesy jump scares but this was a movie that definitely could have benefited if they had used a few. It…

Instantly forgettable, "Dead Souls" is a bit of family-with-a-secret horror that takes its audience nowhere. The story, dealing with an 18-year-old whose inheritance finds him in a dull-stakes battle something possibly supernatural, is flat; and its production does that…

I'll watch anything for Bill Moseley and I'm not sorry about it. This felt very visually dark/grainy for a 2012 movie which probably helped it a little. I enjoy that vibe but the overall film not so much. I fear I'm entering a slump because nothing is impressing me lately…

"Have you been in the barn?" "Gross, no. Just looking at it gives me tetanus." This wasn't anywhere near as bad as I was expecting it to be given the reviews that I'd seen, but it wasn't anything that I ever need to watch again either. Not a complete loss, but that's…

Scavenger Hunt 55 8/36 22. Watch a film that features someone who shares your birthday Magda Apanowicz (same years, too) Not a very scary movie, but you wouldn't know it from the score. The musical tones of this film are very cliche and very loud. You can not miss it…
