As Trespasser begins, an alarm clock wakes a man in bed. He could be any man, but soon we feel and see that he is not; quickly he becomes not only a stranger but something far worse.

Rachel Marks is the type of girl who makes most men wish (just for a moment) that they had a psychopathic, sadomasochistic, knife-wielding femme fatale for a stalker. She’s beautiful, blond, buxom, vivacious, spunky, sexy, happy, and always smiling. Continue reading

DARK HOUSE

Dark House begins with three young girls riding bikes down a street that could be anywhere, towards a house you wouldn’t find anywhere. The house is gaudy, Victorian, and more odd than scary, until we hear a scream from within! Inside the house… Continue reading

LEFT BANK

If I had only watched the trailer for Left Bank, I would have thought it was a fast-paced, action-packed special-effects-laiden horror film, possibly like the critics’ blurbs written on the DVD cover. Combining the two together, I might have even imagined… Continue reading

FARMHOUSE

I always give an extra rocket to any movie with a title that makes me curious enough to watch it, when I might not have otherwise. Farmhouse is just such a generic title that would offer almost too much to the imagination with most genres. Continue reading
