Starring: Corbin Bernsen, Adrian Pesdar, David Arquette, Ray Wise, Martin Sheen, Billy Bob Thorton, Cynda Williams
Director:George Hickenlooper
Premise:
Slave traders accidentally release an entity which possesses soldiers during the Civil War. Members from both the North and the South form an strong army of the undead and it's up to small group of Northern soldiers and their Southern captive to stop them.
My Take:
A stellar cast effortlessly makes their way through a very orginal story. The movie is heavy on atmosphere and suspense while keeping the gore almost nonexistent. It's hard to find new ideas in the genre of horror, but this brings something new to the table.
Rating: So Good

Proud to admit that I am a horror junkie. However, my definition of what falls under the realm of horror entertainment is fairly wide. Horror is an emotion experienced differently by individuals. These are short reviews of the movies, television series, novels, comics, albums, and any thing else which crosses my path if I feel like falls into the wide world of horror entertainment.
