Aug 21, 2012Edgar Allan Poe Adaptation
Maybe the worst Edgar Allan Poe adaptation ever, a version made for tv that fails utterly to project any of Poe's gloom and despair, while a badly overacting Martin Landau is disastrously miscast as Roderick Usher

Jul 4, 2003Movie Theatre Slasher/Genre Homages
Surprisingly good modern slasher film set in a movie theatre during a festival of old horror films. The films come with surprisingly affectionate and well done recreations of old gimmick films, and the slasher sequences a more than reasonable style

Jul 1, 2019Showdown Between the Forces of Good and Evil After the Collapse of Civilisation/Stephen King Adaptation
The Stand is regarded as Stephen King's best novel, an epic that depicts the final showdown between good and evil in the aftermath of civilisation. The mini-series adaptation was alas placed into the ham fists of one of King's worst adapters. Mick Garris
