The “Escape Room” sub-genre of horror seems to be picking up a bit of pace the last few years, coinciding with the popularity of real-life escape rooms. Personally, I haven’t been to one in real-life and the handful of movies I have seen based on them have ranged in quality, without any being outstanding. Is there a great movie with this basic story? Well, perhaps it has already been made because two of my favourite horror movies in Saw (2004) and Cube (1997) are basically escape room movies before that became a thing. It’s very hard to show any originality with these types of films but these two classics show you can, does Escape: Puzzle of Fear follow suit?
I guess the main thing this movie has going for it,...

"Our destinies are intertwined." Uncork'd Entertainment has debuted the official trailer for an indie horror film titled Coven, which is not the most original title for a witch story. Described in the marketing as "The Craft meets Suspiria", the low-budget film is about five undergrad witches that come together in order to perform a ritual to invoke the ancient powers of the witch Ashura. One of them gets carried away, and starts absorbing more and more power. So the others have to take her down. Starring Lizze Gordon, Jennifer Cipolla, Margot Major, Adam Horner, and Terri Ivens. This looks like such a cheesy, bland film with some seriously awful VFX. And it doesn't even look like it might be good-bad or fun to watch, only bad-bad. Here's the official trailer (+ new poster) for Margaret Malandruccolo's Coven, direct from YouTube: Five undergrad witches come together in order to perform...

“Smells like exploitation”
What happens when camp B-Movie shtick meets obviously incorrect Millennial generation doings? The premise of #Captured is simple – hilariously voiced zealot (think Phil from Modern Family turning it up to 11) becomes slasher to punish the wicked doings of the cool, sexy kids – plus their chubby, older friend – who are streaming their under-age sex and drugs parties on the internet. For shame! At the same time a girl new to the school finds herself dragged into the dirty bathwater of seedy online sex cams and slasher nonsense.
Within the first ten minutes we see that all the characters in the film (save “Ashley”) are impossibly horrible, unlikable and unrelatable human beings. Most horror films have us empathize with the victims,...
