When you remake films like The Last House on the Left and The Crazies and take the concepts and alter them just enough to make them true to the originals while trying to make them their own different movies, is an easier task because those movies came from the early 70s. I’m sure many of …
You may or may not have seen this clip from the upcoming Let Me In already, but when I saw it, I immediately thought this didn’t happen in the original. Ok, let me explain, Let Me In I was under the impression the remake of Let the Right One In was going to be shot …
In addition to the lovely poster released a few days ago, we get two new trailers. For Joy! Ok, so it’s going to be shot for shot of the original. As you might have heard, Let Me In is a remake of the Swedish film Let the Right One In. I have to say it …
The PR machine is starting to churn for the upcoming Let Me In and they’ve released a second poster for the film. Ok, I’ll admit it; I’m really looking forward to this one. I know, I know! But, like I said before Quarantine wasn’t terrible. It wasn’t REC but not bad. This one is really …

Directed by Andrés Muschietti 2013 I’ll just say this right off, I’m a big fan of Guillermo del Toro, so I came into Mama with bias. Technically this film was not directed by Guillermo, but by Andrés Muschietti, who actually co-wrote and directed a Spanish short by the same name in 2008. However, when you …
We laughed, we cringed, we booed and we laughed some more, because it’s us. That’s we do. I always procrastinate with this list because I see dozens upon dozens of films each year and I’m always somewhat unmoved lately that is. I long for the days of Jason and Freddie. There are just no good …
