Ok. Sure it took me ten years to get to the final chapter of the Resident Evil franchise. But it was worth it. I’ve always enjoyed these movies for the escapism they provide. They’re bloody and violent, and put women in strong leading roles letting them kick ass. I’ll always settle in for Milla Jovovich…

Ben Foster and Dennis Quaid star in the sci-fi horror film, Pandorum. The pair play a pair of officers on an intergalactic ark that was launched from a dying Earth as a chance for survival of the species. However, when Bower (Foster) wakes from hypersleep, he’s troubled and unnerved to find that he and another…
Gothika (2003) – Mathieu Kassovitz
Dark Castle was created by Joel Silver, Gilbert Adler and Robert Zemeckis over their love of horror movies of the 50s and 60s, specifically those of William Castle. Initially, they worked to remake the horror films of their youth, but the company also began to expand into original stories with good casts. Halle Berry headlining…
Dracula 2000 (2000) – Patrick Lussier
I’m enjoying a book about horror films in a book called Screaming and Conjuring, and it’s given me a bunch of films to take a look at that I either forgot about or couldn’t be bothered with. Dracula 2000 is mentioned, and I figured, why not? The only thing I remembered about its original release…
Smallville (2004) – Asylum, and Whisper
Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) is being held in Belle Reve Sanitarium in Asylum. Written by Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer, this episode was first aired on 14 January, 2004.

Hey look! It’s Amy Adams in a fat suit! Craving first aired on 27 November, 2001 and was written by Micheal Green. Jodi (Adams) is a little overweight.

Smallville (2001) – Pilot, and Metamorphosis
The Superman mythos got the teen drama remix with Smallville. Perfectly cast and solidly scripted, the series ran for ten seasons, and while I did enjoy it, I never got past season five originally. We’re going to fix that this time out. The show launched with its Pilot on 16 October, 2001. Written by Alfred…
Deepstar Six (1989) – Sean S. Cunningham
1989 had not one, not two, but three underwater adventure films. Now, this one would never be confused with James Cameron’s The Abyss, but you may mistake it for Leviathan (honestly I enjoy all three, and can’t believe I hadn’t penned this one up for the blog before). Directed by Sean S. Cunningham who directed…
The Monkey (2025) – Osgood Perkins
Theo James and Christian Convery pull double duty as the older and younger versions of twin brothers Hal and Bill in Osgood Perkins horror comedy, The Monkey. Using the original Stephen King short story as a launching point Perkins delivers a gory tense ride, that releases with every gruesome kill and then ratchets the tension…
