Feast, 2006 Horror Film
This is one of those few horror movies that come out and are not only freaky and disgusting, but hilarious. I think it’s obvious that the director wanted it to be both. Basically you have a bar full of goofy misfits (I swear if you’ve ever been in …

Movie The Strangers

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

One Missed Call (PG-13, 2008) movie
