Ugh. Whatever. I mean, if seeing Clint Howard's ghost hadouken a fireball at a demon possessed guy floating in midair sounds cool to you, then I guess there's that. It's not cool, but it is there. Was the climax shot with a Nintendo Virtual Boy?

I didn't really mind this one all that bad, that is until the ending came around. The movie actually has a fairly interesting story with ambitions that surprised me a bit. The movie seems to be somewhat "pro-church", but at the same time they were putting a spotlight on how…

My friends, if you’ve ever been praying for a horror film on the level of The Room, your prayers have been answered with The Church. I laughed my butt off at just how horrendous everything is about this film. I’m honestly so glad I got to see this on a big screen! One…

Even though this film is by no means good, there's something bizarre about it that makes this dumb entertaining. Actors are really going ham with not much to work with. Looks like garbage, but in a hilarious way. Half the film is meetings between a development corporation…

Not to be confused with the similarly titled(and far more superior[and vastly darker]) Michele Soavi film,this insufferable effort from director/writer/co-producer Dom Frank has Bill Moseley(THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE:PART 2,3 FROM HELL ) as a prideful priest who…

Bill Mosely stars as a preacher who decides to sell his family Church, but I guess the church itself doesn't like that and takes it out on him and the buyers. There's a bunch of cgi deaths that are bad but in a laughable way, also ghost Clint Howard shows up for maybe 2…
