This movie is a throwback to the 80's Canadian horror classics that were down-right disturbing, badly done and gloriously fun to watch. The film has all the best elements - hot girls, inbred families and ridiculous dialogue. If you liked the films Blood Salvage, Invasion of the Space Preachers, or Humongous then you will love this one. I will be adding this one to my horror collectionwhen the DVD hits the streets. 
Rachel Minor, who starred in the After Dark Horrorfest 2006 installment Penny Dreadful, returns with this post-apocalyptic film where the cannibals are on the prowl. The cast also includes the known talents of Rider Strong, Robert Caradine, Michael Madsen, and Vinnie Jones and does not suffer from any Uwe Boll like direction to screw it up. The film is pretty good and the terror sufficient to keep even a jaded fan interested to see who remains for desert. 
Nick Damici, writer and lead actor, delivers this year's standout film of the festival. A father's reunion with his daughter just home from the war is derailed when a deadly infection breaks out in Manhattan and wreaks havoc on its denizens. The film is gritty, horrific and the characters are believable in their fight and flight to survive the city falling apart around them. A must-see dark film that does not get derailed in to the realm of comedy farce.
This film delivers on the horror and realism that was severely lacking in last year's big screen release of Turistas. Rider Strong, who also appears in Tooth & Nail, gets separated from his friends and pays the price. Sean Astin cameos as a depraved caretaker for the murderous leader of the local Santeria cult our protagonists must escape from. With Help of local hottie Martha Higareda maybe they can survive to get back to American soil and safety. Beware of those native girls and make sure you don't lose you wingman!
The most interesting entry in this year's film festival and holder of the best special effects title. The story focuses on the recurring death of the lead in parallel and off-kilter lives. It is a combination of the Talisman, Faust, Romeo & Juliet and Death Takes a Holiday. Definitley check this one out if you want to see something new and visually engaging.
Emmauelle Vaugier of Saw II and Painkiller Jane is joined by Luke Goss and Charlie Murphy for this creature run amok film. Archeological digs always seem to be rife with terror and age old beasts that need to be free. A fun film to watch that gets a solid boost with the ever popular Charlie Murphy on board. A good film to rent for a night in on the couch with a pizza and a beer. 
Six childhood friends return to the place where they grew up as orphans to relive a dark secret. The plot is transparent and telegraphed from word one. This is even compounded by the painful revelations that the audience got with in the first ten minutes of the film but the actors can not seem to get until the very end. Suspension of disbelief is almost impossible to achieve here. How did the producers get Dina Meyer, George Newbern, Traci Lords, Frank Whaley and Gabrielle Anwar to star in this?
I like Morgan Freeman and Steve Carell but even they can not make this Ark float. A lack-luster follow up to the genuinely funny Bruce Almighty starring Jim Carrey. Lauren Graham is a likable replacement for Jennifer Aniston but the character goes nowhere. The focus on the production was that it was done all green to protect the environment but I think they forgot it was suppose to be funny too. I wonder if Ester Almighty is on the drawing board for the ladies in the house?
This movie is where Harry gets pissed off and takes his destiny in his own hands - or so he thinks. This book is my favorite of the series because it deals with the personal development of all of the main characters - especially Harry. It is a shame that a lot of what made the book great did not make it to the screen but the movie delivers on the darkness and the pain to come for our heros in training. Imelda Staunton brings the dreadful Delores Umbridge to spectacular life and steals the show. David Yates hits a grand-slam home run and I can not wait to see what he brings to us with the next film in the series.
