Movie Review – Compliance (2012)

Title: Compliance (2012) Runtime: 90 minutes Director: Craig Zobel — Compliance is a film that you might want to turn off at multiple points, finding it too ridiculous and unbelievable to work. That was the case with me. There comes a point in the movie where it just gets too much. I literally laughed out…


Movie Review – Alien Origin (2012)

Title: Alien Origin (2012) Runtime: 88 minutes Director: Mark Atkins — The Asylum has the potential to surprise every so often (Paranormal Entity is a better film than Paranormal Activity; there, it’s been said), which is why I get excited whenever a new film of theirs comes out (which is practically weekly at this point)….


Movie Review – Bait (2012)

Title: Bait (2012) Runtime: 91 minutes Director: Kimble Rendall — What a genuine surprise Bait is. I rented this expecting cheesy 3D, bad dialogue, and some terrible CGI all being used to tell a lame story.

All that remains are the memories of my second month-long challenge of 2012 (the first being the inaugural Cinefessions Summer Screams Challenge back in June that mixed horror and sci-fi). Looking back, I would have loved to watch more films than I did, but that’s…


Movie Review – Newlyweds (2012)

Title– Newlyweds (2012) Running Time– 96 minutes (“NR”) Director– Edward Burns — (Originally an IP Movies Review) A couple of months ago I was reading an article in MovieMaker magazine about a writer/director named Edward Burns who made his latest feature on a practically non-existent budget of $9,000. He paid his actors a small sum, had them…
