"Blood Lake" ~ 2014

"Blood Lake"  ~  2014

Netflix description  =  Thousands of starved lamprey eels begin attacking the citizens of a sleepy lake town, leaving the community scrambling to stay alive.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So this was exactly what I was expecting.  A fun campy creature feature that is just fun to watch.  The acting is tv viewing, some gore, but overall a fun mindless distraction. Worth the watch!

My score  4/5

"Detention" ~ 2011

"Detention"  ~  2011

Netflix description  =  When a past her prime prom queen with homicide on her mind shows up to senior prom, its not just the kids in detention who miss the big event.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So this turned out to be nothing like I was expecting.  This movie is a wild ride that leads you on a tangle of twwists and turns.  At times I did find it all a little confusing but all questions were answered by the end.  Definite dark comedy and worth the watch!


My score   3.5/5

"Stage Fright" ~ 2014

"Stage Fright"  ~  2014

Netflix description  =  The musical and slasher genres converge as a brutal killer starts picking off the teenagers attending a summer theater camp.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I saw a review calling this movie "Sleepaway camp meets Glee", and Minnie Driver and Meatloaf in the credits, I knew I had to watch!  This movie is teen scream silly and I loved it!  Honestly the acting is marginal and the songs terrible, but the cliches make it even better.  If looking for a dark comedy this movie is certainly worth the watch!

My score  3.5/5

"The Tortured" ~ 2010

"The Tortured"  ~  2010

Netflix description  =  After their young son is abducted and murdered by a psychopath, a well-heeled couple kidnaps the killer and tortures him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This was a surprisingly good movie.  Reading the Netflix description I didn't feel that there would be much else to tell.  The storyline is just twisted enough to keep a few plot twists concealed.  Sore gore, lots of psychological horror.  Overall worth the watch!

My score  3/5

"The Den" ~ 2013

"The Den"  ~  2013

Netflix description  =  While investigating webcam chat habits, a young woman witnesses a gruesome murder online.  Now she and those she loves are being pursued by the killer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This was a well put together thriller that kept me entertained until the end.  There are some decent gore and kill scenes as well as enough plot questions to keep you guessing.  Overall worth the watch!


My score  3/5

"All Cheerleaders Die" ~ 2013

"All Cheerleaders Die"  ~  2013

Netflix description  =  When a high school outsider joins the pep squad to carry out a vendetta, supernatural forces intervene - - and a ghoulish battle of the sexes ensues.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This was a ridiculously silly, fun, teen scream movie.  There is dark humor from the beginning and even an unexpected plot twist.  Again the story and effects are ridiculous but for plain old mindless entertainment its worth watching!

My score  4/5
