View from a top movie

Let Sleeping Corpses Lie
Neither a brilliant film in its own right or high scorer in the genre, The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue or Let Sleeping Corpses Lie as it is sometimes known, is a passable enough zombie movie that should prove watchable enough at least to any zombie fan. The story …
30 Days of Night (R, 2007) movie

Autopsy: Postmortem with Dr. Michael Baden (UR, 2008)

America’s Sweethearts movie
It took me a very long time to actually sit down and watch the movie America’s Sweethearts since I’ve never been a big fan of the actress Julia ROberts because I’m so used to seeing her in romance movies, and frankly, she has never held my attention. Thus, …

Psycho movie
From imitation and its popularity among film scholars and horror buffs, Psycho has no more surprises left —“ that’s a given.

The Babadook - Horror Movie (2014)
There are many people out there who’ve been let down by the slew of unimaginably terrible horror films that claim to be scary. Finally I’ve found a film that’s worth a watch. Packed with a thrilling unease, an emotional interaction between mother and son and a story that’s coherent enough …
