The Conjuring 2 Movie Review: From the first time I heard about a sequel for The Conjuring, I was as excited as a little boy; but also terrified… What if the sequel is not up to par with the original? The Conjuring has given me hope for the Horror genre, since it has been one, if…
No one was more excited to watch this pilgrim folklore of a tale than me. I must admit that my expectation for the film ran really high and that is not always a good thing or you run the risk of ending up disappointed. Lets just say than no witchcraft or spell can remove the bad taste…

This long-awaited spinoff from the Conjuring is finally here, and what better way to frighten the bejeebies out of you than to use a grotesque doll! Nothing could be worse, or could it? As I may have forgotten to mention – it’s also possessed. This prequel is set back to when Charles Manson and his…
The latest addition to the haunted house genre, Oculus, downsizes the haunting to an antique mirror and the malevolent forces that reside within it. Recently released from a mental institution for murdering his father, Tim Russell (Brenton Thwaites) returns home to find his sister Kaylie (Karen Gillan) still dealing with the tragic circumstances of that…
