Dawn of the Doomed

Mon, 21 Nov 2005 17:48:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ravenmidnight - I wasn't sure about this movie when I first heard about it, but I found myself pleasantly surprised when I sat down to watch it in the theatre. I was edgy through the whole film, totally drawn into the plot and spooked out of my mind. I loved the...

Swaddlers, A First Time Mom's Fav

Tue, 1 Nov 2005 04:24:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ravenmidnight - Long story short, after an occasionally panic-stricken pregnancy I found myself with a c-section incision to heal and a lively new baby boy to raise. One of the first things I had to test out and decide on was exactly which brand of diapers to use...

Undead Apocalypse

Thu, 8 Jan 2004 17:50:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ravenmidnight - I named the review this for a reason, many thought that the film was entirely about the zombies and seeing the reviews and blurbs for this film you would also get that impression, however the film has very little to do with the horrors of undead hords...

West Memphis Tragedy Continues

Thu, 8 Jan 2004 17:21:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ravenmidnight - Some time ago I wrote an opinion on a film I had watched entitled Paradise Lost:The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills in which I expressed my views on the true life case represented in this documentary. That view was and remains that the three young men...

The Sins of The Mother

Thu, 27 Mar 2003 18:37:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ravenmidnight - I am not generally one for drama. In fact, most times I hate it, finding it sappy, overdone and far too fake.The very stamp of Oprah's Book Club makes me shudder in utter horror. I most often find myself with Stephen King or Clive Barker, something with...

Anne Rice Lite

Fri, 13 Dec 2002 16:24:03 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ravenmidnight - How many of us went to see this movie after having read some if not all of The Vampire Chronicles? How many of us were thuroughly annoyed that half the vampires weren't even named let alone given plot time? Don't get me wrong I didn't hate the movie,...

Did You Ever Just Have On of Those Days...

Thu, 26 Sep 2002 23:42:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ravenmidnight - Did you ever just have one of those days everything was going a little south? Your girlfriend ditched you and everything else just made you feel like garbage? Then this is your CD.

I was going through all of my cd's and found this album. When...

The Red Queen Makes Her Move

Fri, 20 Sep 2002 23:46:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ravenmidnight - I was exposed to the Resident Evil games by my younger brothers who are far better and more involved gamers than I am. Due to my inability to quite get the handling down (the farthest I ever got in the first game was the first zombie and in the second...

The Storm King is Coming

Fri, 20 Sep 2002 02:13:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ravenmidnight - My brother and I made an agreement a few years back that if I read The books Of Shannara he would read The Dark Tower series. I picked up the first book by Terry brooks read it to the very end and declared it to be a well-put together plagerism of...

Dead film walking

Tue, 11 Jun 2002 17:01:26 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ravenmidnight - I'm not quite sure why Mr. Savini was in this film, but I think the ten minutes he was in it were about the only ones that related to reality in the dimest sense.

Many things were not explained or touched on in this film. 1)Why does Albert,...

Blood, Guts,Zombies, Romance

Sat, 16 Feb 2002 17:48:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ravenmidnight - IF you're looking for a movie with lots of gore, lots of zombies, plenty of weird humor and a weird romance this is the movie for you.

From the lovely mind that brought us such films as Heavenly Creatures and Bad Taste comes the goriest, most...

Jeepers, Creepers?

Wed, 30 Jan 2002 18:44:00 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ravenmidnight - Just when you thought those '90's '00's horror movies couldn't get any worse they do. Movies like Jeepers Creepers ruin the chances of horror ever getting back on it's feet. They slap together a badly written plot with badly done FX, acting and cheap...

A Kiss of Shadows

Thu, 24 Jan 2002 17:25:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ravenmidnight - I picked this book up around the time I finished Obsidian Butterfly, I love the Anita Blake series and had some pretty high hopes for Laurell K Hamilton's other books.

It's a great book and I'm glad I picked it up, but I have to wonder if...

A Lovecraft based film not to see

Thu, 24 Jan 2002 17:04:16 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ravenmidnight - I hate to say it but there's very few positive features to this movie. I sat through all of it and found it dull, overdone, and a teensy bit too hokey for camp.

Don't get me wrong I love some of these movies.I liked re-animator and had some...

Argento's Phantom

Mon, 21 May 2001 15:10:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ravenmidnight - I have loved the phantom since i first read the novel at age eleven, nine years ago. Being that i have always been a misfit I empathized quite strongly with the misfortunate man, and still do.

It s a tragedy of complex detail and sharp edged...

Uncle Stevie's Creep Comic

Mon, 21 May 2001 14:27:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ravenmidnight - Creepshow is one of my all time favorites as far as STephen King films go. I was about two or three when I first saw it and the memories from that initial viewing were not complete, but it left enough of a mark just the same.

Creepshow is S K...

Love of the Dead

Tue, 1 May 2001 14:37:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ravenmidnight - This is my favorite of the RotLd trilogy and the only one to totally abandon the attempts at comedy the first two made.

A combination love story and zombie epic, RotLD 3 tells the story of Kurt Reynolds and his girlfriend Julie. Kurt is the...

Ed Exposed

Sat, 14 Apr 2001 15:46:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ravenmidnight - This isn't the first book I've read of the series just the most recent one and it tells you a great deal about Ed's real persona.I must admit in general I hate vampire hunters they look at the vamps and other monsters as dark thing worthy of death. Anita...

Stanley Kubrick's The Shining

Fri, 18 Aug 2000 18:14:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ravenmidnight - This movie is definately frightening, the hotel is full of horrors to taunt the viewer, a number of them quite horrible. My worst nightmares involve the two twins and the thing in room 237, if you've seen the film you understand why. I love seing Jack...

The Book of the Dead

Fri, 18 Aug 2000 17:29:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ravenmidnight - For those who haven't seen or heard of any of the films based on H P Lovecraft's demented tales there are two films to see H. P. Lovecraft's Necronomicon: Book of the Dead and Reanimator, Necronomicon being the better of the two.

Necronomicon...

The House On Haunted Hill

Fri, 7 Jul 2000 18:45:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ravenmidnight - Caught rapt like some madman made to watch the the destruction of all he is told is real, I stare wide-eyed at the screen. Images from nightmare worlds rip across my vision driven sharply into the core of my mind life blazing rods of insanity. Howling...

Return of the Living Dead

Fri, 7 Jul 2000 18:21:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ravenmidnight - Return of the Living Dead 's original intention was to parody Romero's Living Dead Trilogy and it's Italian counterparts, but it appears to have found itself unable to completely be funny and what was meant to be so was dimmed by the horror of...

To Get Rid of Them in the Simplest Way

Wed, 28 Jun 2000 12:33:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ravenmidnight - This is one of those movies that throws itself into the gore and zombies without preamble. An apocalyptic conspiracy movie it borrows here and there but essentially stays to it's own formula, zombies and government cover-ups abounding.

" People Without Dreams Are Easy To Control"

Tue, 20 Jun 2000 16:37:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ravenmidnight - I was four when this movie came out and even then I understood this phrase. Even at that age I knew the power of dreams and imagination, found them, in fact, a vital tool for survival. I was never exactly the sort of kid that was accepted and therefore...

Great Movie, But Carrie 2?

Tue, 20 Jun 2000 16:13:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ravenmidnight - I'll start by saying this, I only have one peeve about this movie and this is it: it could have stood on its own. The Rage is a movie that truly had little connection to the movie that was it's predicessor, Carrie. Honestly, if you removed only a few...
