- DirectorDavid LeitchStarsRyan ReynoldsJosh BrolinMorena BaccarinFoul-mouthed mutant mercenary Wade Wilson (a.k.a. Deadpool) assembles a team of fellow mutant rogues to protect a young boy with abilities from the brutal, time-traveling cyborg Cable.awe man so funny. i think i enjoyed it even more than the first. laughed constantly.
- DirectorRon HowardStarsAlden EhrenreichWoody HarrelsonEmilia ClarkeDuring an adventure in the criminal underworld, Han Solo meets his future co-pilot Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian years before joining the Rebel Alliance.so much to love about this movie. you've heard the stories and now you get to experience them. Loved the cameos and references to other movies. Now i need to see rebels!
- DirectorPanos CosmatosStarsNicolas CageAndrea RiseboroughLinus RoacheThe enchanted lives of a couple in a secluded forest are brutally shattered by a nightmarish hippie cult and their demon-biker henchmen, propelling a man into a spiraling, surreal rampage of vengeance.Mandy is amazing. The first half is overly artistic and the pacing suffers but all is forgiven when the second half becomes an all out bloodbath.
- DirectorLars von TrierStarsMatt DillonBruno GanzUma ThurmanIn five episodes, failed architect and vicious sociopath Jack recounts his elaborately orchestrated murders -- each, as he views them, a towering work of art that defines his life's work as a serial killer in the Pacific Northwest.the black humour in this movie is done incredibly well. the characters were so bizarre and the violence was disturbingly raw.
- DirectorRyan ProwsStarsNicki MicheauxMark BurnhamJon OswaldThe sordid lives of an addict, an ex-con, and a luchador collide when an organ harvesting caper goes very, very wrong.had such a great time with this one. had a non linear, tarantino type style of storytelling with very over the top interesting characters. i loved it and am recommending it often.
- DirectorAnthony RussoJoe RussoStarsRobert Downey Jr.Chris HemsworthMark RuffaloThe Avengers and their allies must be willing to sacrifice all in an attempt to defeat the powerful Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe.hopefully the next movie doesnt make it all for nothing. That being said this is easilly one of the best marvel movies ever made and it has an emtional punch to boot.
- DirectorChris SunStarsNathan JonesBill MoseleyJohn JarrattIn the harsh, yet beautiful Australian outback lives a beast, an animal of staggering size, with a ruthless, driving need for blood and destruction. It cares for none, defends its territory with brutal force, and kills with a raw, animalistic savagery unlike any have seen before. Now coming face to face with the giant bloodthirsty killing machine, teens on a hiking trip will have the beast in order to en its reign of terror.just a badass creature feature. Has some comedy but not too over the top unlike the gore which is definatly over the top. Also appreciated the mix of practical effects.
- DirectorAri AsterStarsToni ColletteMilly ShapiroGabriel ByrneA grieving family is haunted by tragic and disturbing occurrences.well above average as far as writing and acting goes. Loved the plot and the movie packs a punch.
- DirectorLeigh WhannellStarsLogan Marshall-GreenMelanie VallejoSteve DanielsenSet in the near-future, technology controls nearly all aspects of life. But when the world of Grey, a self-labeled technophobe, is turned upside down, his only hope for revenge is an experimental computer chip implant.good story and very cool fight choreography. Liked the sci fi concepts and felt engaged from start to finish.
- DirectorMike P. NelsonStarsKate BosworthTyler HoechlinSonoya MizunoIn the weeks following an apocalyptic event, a husband and wife venture across the countryside inhabited by deadly factions in search of safety, and must work together as they are pushed to the breaking point in order to survive.one of the more underrated movies of the year thus far. It very much feels like a mad max clone but does a great job .
- DirectorAlex GarlandStarsNatalie PortmanJennifer Jason LeighTessa ThompsonA biologist signs up for a dangerous, secret expedition into a mysterious zone where the laws of nature don't apply.sleeper hit. this movie went to theaters and no one i tell it about has heard of it. Great story mixed with awesome visuals, action, and a lil gore.
- DirectorLowell DeanStarsLeo FafardYannick BissonAmy MatysioAlcoholic werewolf cop Lou Garou springs into action when an eccentric businessman with evil intentions seduces Woodhaven's residents with a new brewery and hockey team in this outrageous horror-comedy sequel.hillarious of course but not quite as good as the first. Still a great time though if you are a fan of Wolfcop.
- DirectorRon BonkStarsCollin DeanAiden TetroNathan BonkWhen he finds a shark that can travel on land residing in his home, an ex-cop enlists the help of a grizzled former real estate agent, and an eccentric "house shark" expert to kill the beast.better and funnier than it has any right to be. Lots of heart behind the very low budget and amateur performances but it all works and is a fun ride.
- DirectorAdam GreenStarsParry ShenKane HodderLaura OrtizTen years after the events of the original movie, Victor Crowley is mistakenly resurrected and proceeds to kill once more.the gore and comedy we've come to expect from the series. It did look like the cheapest of the series to me and some of the jokes fall flat but overall the gore and goofyness wins.
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsTye SheridanOlivia CookeBen MendelsohnWhen the creator of a virtual reality called the OASIS dies, he makes a posthumous challenge to all OASIS users to find his Easter Egg, which will give the finder his fortune and control of his world.its a fun. lots of nostalgia here and the story was neat. really enjoyed the horror parts.
- DirectorDamien LeoneStarsJenna KanellSamantha ScaffidiDavid Howard ThorntonOn Halloween night, Tara Heyes finds herself as the obsession of a sadistic murderer known as Art the Clown.im surprised this movie has gotten so much attention based on the grittyness of the low budget but impressive and disgusting gore gags.
- DirectorDavid Gordon GreenStarsJamie Lee CurtisJudy GreerAndi MatichakLaurie Strode confronts her long-time foe, Michael Myers, the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago.do you like the halloween franchise? then you will probably like this. It doesn't really do anything overly impressive or new but it fits in well with the series.
- DirectorShane BlackStarsBoyd HolbrookTrevante RhodesJacob TremblayWhen a young boy accidentally triggers the universe's most lethal hunters' return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled scientist can prevent the end of the human race.you get a lot of predator action and gore. Everything else was cheesy and cliche.
- DirectorJohannes RobertsStarsChristina HendricksMartin HendersonBailee MadisonA family of four staying at a secluded mobile home park for the night are stalked and then hunted by three masked psychopaths.pretty decent slasher. great soundtrack, cool looking killers, and delivers in the kill department as well.
- DirectorDominic BruntStarsKurtis LoweAndrew DunnAndy AbrahamsThree family members break into a remote country house to recover secret documents, but discover a cult of wealthy adults dressed as babies inside with sexy "nurses" as their caretakers.this movie surprised me with its excellent gore and violence.
- DirectorMickey KeatingStarsAshley BellJames Landry HébertMark KassenSeveral psychopaths wreak havoc over the course of a violent night.i thought it had a cool artsy style and colour pallet as well as some unique charcters. it was also fairly violent which is always a plus.
- DirectorSonny LagunaTommy WiklundStarsThomas LennonJenny PellicerNelson FranklinAll hell breaks loose when a strange force animates the puppets up for auction at a convention, setting them on a bloody killing spree that's motivated by an evil as old as time.has some great kills...lol
- DirectorKyle NewacheckStarsAdam DevineAnders HolmBlake AndersonThree friends are on the verge of getting their video game financed when their benefactor is taken hostage by terrorists.watched this with a bunch of buddies and we had a great time. it just felt like workaholics the movie so if you like that show youll like this movie.
- DirectorJunpei MizusakiStarsKôichi YamaderaWataru TakagiAi KakumaBatman, along with a number of his allies and adversaries, finds himself transplanted from modern Gotham City to feudal Japan.by far the coolest animated batman movie i've seen.
- DirectorGareth EvansStarsDan StevensRichard ElfynPaul HigginsIn 1905, a drifter on a dangerous mission to rescue his kidnapped sister tangles with a sinister religious cult on an isolated island.im not a huge fan of period pieces but theres always exceptions. this movie felt kind of like the VVitch meets frontiere(s). Well written and some very excellent performances as well as some shocking bloody bits.
- DirectorDavid BrucknerStarsRafe SpallArsher AliRobert James-CollierA group of old college friends reunite for a trip to a most dangerous country in Europe - Sweden, encountering a menacing presence there stalking them.dope movie about witchcraft or something effed up in the forest. Keeps you entertained throughout and is quite the trip.
- DirectorMartin ZandvlietStarsJared LetoTadanobu AsanoKippei ShînaAn epic set in post-WWII Japan and centered on an American former G.I. who joins the yakuza.I've been recommending this movie to people before the credits even rolled. Jerrod Letos deadpan performance some how works in this gritty yakuza film.
- DirectorXavier GensStarsRay StevensonDavid OakesAura GarridoA young man arrives at a remote island to take a post of weather observer only to find himself defending the watchtower from deadly creatures which live in the island shores.underrated movie that i think deserves to be seen by more people. hopefully it goes to netflix. Nifty lil creature feature with plenty of action and a refreshing story and setting.
- DirectorTyler MacIntyreStarsBrianna HildebrandAlexandra ShippJack QuaidA twist on the slasher genre, following two death-obsessed teenage girls who use their online show about real-life tragedies to send their small mid-western town into a frenzy, and cement their legacy as modern horror legends.maybe a little too self indulgent (hypocritcal?) i kind of found the banter between the two leads to become tiresome. Maybe destined to be a cult classic for young women. The story was still fun and interesting.
- DirectorOwen EgertonStarsRobbie KayJacob BatalonSeychelle GabrielFans flock to a festival celebrating the most iconic horror movies, only to discover that the charismatic showman behind the event has a diabolical agenda.at about the 20min mark i thought this movie was going to be badass but it tones it down from time to time. Still a fun movie with a few messy bits.
- DirectorJake SzymanskiStarsDaniel DohenyGeraldine ViswanathanSadie CalvanoWhen a group of teenage friends go on a spring break camping trip, an unfortunate accident sets off a race against time to save their friend's most prized possession.i know its dumb but i laughed quite a bit during this stupid movie.
- DirectorRyan CooglerStarsChadwick BosemanMichael B. JordanLupita Nyong'oT'Challa, heir to the hidden but advanced kingdom of Wakanda, must step forward to lead his people into a new future and must confront a challenger from his country's past.its your average marvel movie.
- DirectorJohn KrasinskiStarsEmily BluntJohn KrasinskiMillicent SimmondsA family struggles for survival in a world where most humans have been killed by blind but noise-sensitive creatures. They are forced to communicate in sign language to keep the creatures at bay.very well made and i enjoyed it but after thinking about it it there were quite a few plot holes. I liked how much screen time the monsters got and the movie built a lot of tension.
- DirectorCoralie FargeatStarsMatilda Anna Ingrid LutzKevin JanssensVincent ColombeNever take your mistress on an annual guys' getaway, especially one devoted to hunting - a violent lesson for three wealthy married men.pretty badass typical revenge movie with some decent gore effects.
- DirectorFrançois SimardAnouk WhissellYoann-Karl WhissellStarsGraham VerchereJudah LewisCaleb EmeryAfter suspecting that their police officer neighbor is a serial killer, a group of teenage friends spend their summer spying on him and gathering evidence, but as they get closer to discovering the truth, things get dangerous.its like goonies and It and stranger things but not quite as good as any of those.
- DirectorPascal LaugierStarsCrystal ReedMylène FarmerAnastasia PhillipsA mother of two who inherits a house is confronted with murderous intruders on the first night in their new home and fights for her daughters' lives. Sixteen years later when the daughters reunite at the house, things get really strange.its no Martyrs but it does enough to be different. I liked the numerous twists.
- DirectorTrevor RyanStarsBill SageChris ZylkaAnastasia BaranovaDeep in the Northern California woods, in the heart of the notorious Emerald Triangle, lies a remote cabin. The residents struggle to fight off the repeated attacks and abductions by mysterious creatures that have plagued them for years. When a local pot farmer is caught up with a wayward group of campers the situation quickly escalates into total carnage.mediocre low budget movie saved by lots of screen time from the awesome practical effects designed aliens.
- DirectorJon TurteltaubStarsJason StathamBingbing LiRainn WilsonA group of scientists exploring the Marianas Trench encounter the largest marine predator that has ever existed - the Megalodon.pretty damn stupid but giant sharks are cool soooo....
- DirectorBrian TaylorStarsNicolas CageSelma BlairAnne WintersA teenage girl and her younger brother must survive a wild 24 hours during which a mass hysteria of unknown origin causes parents to turn violently on their own kids.nicholas cage is entertaining and the movie explores some dark areas of the movies concept but it doesn't really go as far as a movie like this should and ends up not being overly memorable.
- DirectorGary J. TunnicliffeStarsDamon CarneyRandy WayneAlexandra HarrisDetectives Sean and David Carter are on the case to find a gruesome serial killer terrorizing the city. Joining forces with Detective Christine Egerton, they dig deeper into a spiraling maze of horror that may not be of this world.as a hellraiser movie it is dissapointing but as a stand alone film it has some new and interesting concepts and characters.
- DirectorPeyton ReedStarsPaul RuddEvangeline LillyMichael PeñaAs Scott Lang balances being both a superhero and a father, Hope van Dyne and Dr. Hank Pym present an urgent new mission that finds the Ant-Man fighting alongside The Wasp to uncover secrets from their past.still an average super hero movie like the first one but i still had some fun with it.
- DirectorSam LiuStarsChristian SlaterVanessa WilliamsBilly BrownTask Force X targets a powerful mystical object that they will risk their lives to steal.fun for children (even though its a very soft R) and adults who really like this kind of stuff. Not much depth to the plot or characters though.
- DirectorEli RothStarsBruce WillisVincent D'OnofrioElisabeth ShueDr. Paul Kersey is an experienced trauma surgeon, a man who has spent his life saving lives. After an attack on his family, Paul embarks on his own mission for justice.better than i expected because a lot of people apparently hate eli roth for some reason. I thought it was a competent remake that held my interest the entire time.
- DirectorDarin ScottStarsDanielle SavreRob MayesMichael BeachA brilliant billionaire creates five genetically altered bull sharks, which proceed to wreak havoc for a group of scientists on an isolated research facility.sooooooo bad!!!!!!! so bad it becomes hilarious and you end up having more fun than this unintentionally stupid movies deserves.
- DirectorJason HenneChristopher LetoStarsAshley Nicole AllenLibby BlakeMichael Ray DavisA group of coeds goes looking for fun at a cabin on the lake, but find out that the cabin wasn't always used for rest and relaxation.enough nudity to make up for the shitty acting. The gore wasnt bad either. its your basic low budget cabin in the woods slasher.
- DirectorAnthony DiBlasiStarsChad RookChantal PerronDana ChristinaA young woman obsessed with horror subjects herself to hours of grueling torment inside an extreme haunt in an attempt to confront her fears and conquer the tragic past that haunts her.better than i expected but still could have been better. Its not gory or gritty enough to make up for the low budget and shitty acting.
- DirectorJason RutherfordStarsDiane Ayala GoldnerJames HendersonTiana CaraWhile Harris and his Mother enjoy bonding at the movies, it seems the jerks in the theaters are making it harder for them to enjoy the show. Soon someone starts murdering those disrupting the film, and now Harris finds himself not only confronting his past, but questioning his own sanity as well.probably the lowest budget movie on this list but its a labor of love and a fun concept with some acceptable gore.
- DirectorDamon DashStarsDamon DashCam'ronMurda MookA drug lord's lieutenant struggles to protect his crime family and his own honor after a shootout.your basic turf war/rise to power urban gangster story. The naration kind of makes it feel like "hustlin for dummys" but the movie is still alright if you're into low budget street gang movies like killa season and state property.
- DirectorJameson BrooksStarsDave DavisGlenn MorshowerLuke SheltonBomb City is a crime-thriller, about the cultural aversion of a group of punk rockers in a conservative Texas town. Their ongoing battle with a rival, more-affluent clique leads to a controversial hate crime that questions the morality of American justice. Based on the true-life story of Brian Deneke.i thought it would be more violent. kinda crazy true story.
