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.

Father's Day (2012)

Starring: Amy Groening, Mackenzie Murdock, Adam Brooks, Matthew Kennedy, Conor Sweeney
Director: Adam Brooks, Matthew Kennedy, Steven Kostanski, Conor Sweeney, Jeremy Gillespie

Premise:
A man bent on revenge, a priest who wants to do good, and a street hustler team up to put a stop to "The Father's Day Killer"

My Take:
This movie took me down paths which I never saw coming. What starts out as a unlikely trio teaming up to stop a psycho who rapes men and brutally kills them, goes off into an entirely different place in the last third. The cast plays it straight while never taking the material too seriously. There's a lot of comedy and "taboo" shattering ideas here and they ride the line with ease. I eagerly wait the group's next effort.

Rating: So Good
