思い出のマーニー (2014) Online Streaming

Logic is mocked, plot strands capriciously abandoned. Actors chew upholstery, and the heroine has so many 'Don't open that door, lady!' moments that the movie starts to play like an unintended parody of overblown hokum.. Yonebayashi has touched on the greater mystery underlying everyday life, a world pulsing with wonder and possibility, edged with a shadow of melancholy.. The movie is ingenious in its plotting, colorful in its characters, taut in its direction and fortunate in possessing Cate Bl...

The Strangers (2008) Online Streaming

Fans of the 'pitiless/merciless killers' school of horror should get a jolt out of The Strangers, a harrowing real-time tale of an assault on a remote country home.. The fun is fun while it lasts, it just doesn't last long enough.. While it may not be a fully realized take on Dick's forward-thinking work, it's still a far better film than the Verhoeven version.. Where Paul Verhoeven's original was testosterone-stupid and, therefore, fun, Wiseman's film is just boring-stupid.. At least it's short...

Dead Silence (2007) Spille Film

Dolls are innately unnerving, but the movie's semi-menacing Charlie McCarthys never live up to their potential.. Armed with a decent budget, director James Wan and co-screenwriter Leigh Wannell fashion at least a dozen sequences that are spooky even while they defy logic.. Director Wan demonstrates that he's equally effective working in a more classical vein, especially with his skillful use of chilling low-key sound effects and silence in several scary sequences.. A gothic chiller in which morb...

The Stepfather (2009) Fuld Streaming

It's hard to get absorbed in a story with so many unresolved issues.. The Stepfather is, finally, only as good as its stepfather -- and Dylan Walsh ain't bad.. A clumsy remake of the 1987 cult thriller.. Not so much a contemporary re-make of Joseph Ruben's 1987 psychological thriller as a lobotomised bastard step-child: over-plotted, over-long, and stripped of the original's sharp, satirical subversion of suburban family values.. Better to honor history and rent the original.. This perfunctory r...

Zodiac (2007) Fuld Film Streaming

This movie, like the first, is more of a translation than an adaptation. It's the visual equivalent of an audio book, slightly abridged.. For a director whose earlier films include the influential Seven and cult-fave Fight Club, the results are merely good -- not great.. David Fincher's grim but mesmerizing Zodiac offers the puzzle-solving addictiveness of a detective story, the shivers of a thriller and the allure of a character study, all presented with a dash of newspaper drama.. Like many ch...

As Above, So Below (2014) Fuld Streaming

Come for the poster, stay for the end credits.. For those hoping to find some truly disturbing secrets buried for generations beneath the surface, track down Gary Sherman's 1972 "Death Line" (aka "Raw Meat") instead.. As forewarned, so avoid.. Once the characters go underground, things start happening. Not scary things, mind you, but things.. While the film has a reasonably engaging cast and some decent scares, the script feels like an uneasy blend of The Blair Witch Project and Tomb Raider.. Li...
