Title: Goosebumps (2015) Director: Rob Letterman Runtime: 103 minutes — I’m going to say it up front: I am a huge Goosebumps fan. Ever since the original books were released, I’ve been buying them.

Movie Review – Chris Ranson on Crimson Peak (2015)

Title: Crimson Peak (2015) Director: Guillermo del Toro Runtime: 119 minutes — Guillermo del Toro destroyed my world in 2006 with Pan’s Labyrinth, a film that I thought would be straight up horror, and instead was a completely different sort of tale, and I loved it.

Movie Review – Chris Ranson on Deadly Blessing (1981)

Title: Deadly Blessing (1981) Director: Wes Craven Runtime: 100 minutes — With the recent passing of Wes Craven, I’ve decided to make his filmography, minus the hardcore porn he used to make, my next completion project.

Movie Review – Chris Ranson on The Visit (2015)

Title: The Visit (2015) Director: M. Night Shyamalan Runtime: 94 minutes — I’m a huge M. Night Shyamalan fan. I have now seen every single one of his films on opening day. Yes, even The Sixth Sense. I know some of the movies sucked (The Happening, After Earth) and some were just so-so (The Last…
