The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Black Rainbow (1989)

Starring: Rosanna Arquette, Jason Robards, Tom Hulce
Director: Mike Hodges

Premise:
A medium puts on shows where connects with the other side. She starts getting messages from people who aren't dead yet and describing how they will die. When the premonitions come true some people aren't pleased and plan to take out the medium.

My Take:
A very interesting and unique tale with strong performances by the leads. A good mystery too. While I enjoyed the movie, doubt if I ever watch it again. If haven't seen it yet, you should.

Rating: In the middle (with thumbs up)
