"31" seems to be getting the love/hate treatment quite literally. I personally found the film to be entertaining and even refreshing. Zombie's new film is not supernatural or what I would call a "slasher"...it's unique and frightening in it's own right. "31" could really happen to anyone, anywhere, and at any time. The brutal, psychotic clowns and colonial cult members decide Murder World's rules and your fate. If you give "31" a view it's best not to compare to other horror films or even Zombie's other work. Also, to note: Richard Brake gives a terrific performance in this film as "Doom-Head" and seeing Malcolm McDowell is always a pleasure.

Dark Awakening
(2014)
If you enjoy haunted house films!
11 August 2015
Dark Awakening is a creepy, edge of your seat horror/thriller. If you enjoy films such as Poltergeist, The Shining, Stir of Echoes, or Paranormal Activity I would strongly suggest checking out this one!
In addition, Lance Henriksen and Jason Cook give terrific performances and their chemistry works very well. Lance's character even offers up a few light hearted seconds of humor.
Dark Awakening may start off like other haunt films but clearly becomes a brand of it's own with many twists and turns, this is not a picture to miss out on.
Much credit is due to director Dean C. Jones and the producers, they set out to fill a house full of ghastly screams and have done a heck a job!

Serial
(2005)
A great Indie Horror Film
25 June 2007
One of the best Indie Horror Films, I have seen in a long time. If you have not seen this film you need to! Serial is a unique film that brings fear back into the genre of horror. Which in my opinion has been lost over the years, this film brings horror back to its roots and makes you think. Serial plays constant tricks on your mind whether it is the opening scene or the last. Serial can be compared to other films such as Seven and May. Like Seven and May, Serial keeps you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. I strongly recommend that if you are fan of the Horror/Thriller genre that you view this feature. I could not believe the film was made on a $700 budget! Two thumbs up for the cast and crew who made Serial!
