Taking its cues from franchises of old in regards to calling itself ‘The Final Chapter’ when it really isn’t, Badder Ben (terrible title) is the third movie in the Bad Ben series. It continues the story set up in the original and is a direct sequel to that movie.
With Evil Bong, Full Moon Pictures have sent any goodwill towards this series up in smoke with lacklustre sequel after sequel. Evil Bong 666 does little to change that.
The Convent is a surprisingly entertaining flick. One with tongue in cheek comedy, over the top performances and lashings of gore.
A lesson in minimalist film-making and operating on a super low budget but still having class, Anonymous 616 is a tense and smart horror. At least up until its disappointing finale. Yes, it drops the ball in the final quarter of the movie but up to that point, Anonymous 616 is very impressive.
A comedy horror, Demonica is set in the 80s and tells the story about a group of young adults who get trapped in a skating rink overnight while partying. That doesn’t sound so bad now, does it? Well, this skating rink has a problem…a demon related problem.
Bleed is a bit of an odd one. It has all the makings of your bog-standard slasher horror. One with a predictable twist. However, it tells a fairly interesting story that has you wondering just what is actually going on for a while.
The follow up to the better then expected Bad Ben goes the prequel route. A fine idea as there certainly was a bit of mystery about it but in the end we get a half-hearted found footage horror that drops logic and sense for an abundance of scare attempts. With very few actually managing to land.
Serving as a ‘sort of’ sequel to the original with minor connections to the second movie, Lake Fear 3 is baffling. Was it a joke? Did the Crum brothers only have about 20 minutes worth of film so decided to film most of it in slow motion?
