Brothers Grimm

The Great Terry Gilliam returns with a new tale of quirky horror. Great show. Reminds me of Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow. Recommended.

Fantastic Four

It didn't get very good reviews, but I liked it. The effects were nice, but the acting was cheesy (it's a comic book after all!). And it had humor too. Recommended.

Saw

After all the hype when it came out, I rented Saw. Saw is absolutely NOT the movie they were promoting. I got the impression it was a brutal gory movie where a serial killer tortures his victims by making them torture themselves.

Okay it is brutal. But it's not that gory. It's actually a pretty snappy thriller/drama with decent acting and plenty o' plot twists.

Hellraiser VII: Deader

I liked the original Hellraiser movie. It was scary, original and the bad guys looked really cool.

But like Superman, as the movie studio squeezed out more sequels, the quality started to suffer. By this version, number 7, just about the only thing left from the first movie is the name.

Pinhead makes a few appearances, but it's just above cameo status. Most of the movie is watching the main character (played by Kari Wuhrer) run around the streets and buildings of a town in Romania.
