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.

Cold In July (2014)

Starring: Michael C. Hall, Sam Shepard, Don Johnson, Nick Damici, Vinessa Shaw
Director: Jim Mickle

Premise:
After a man shoots a burglar to protect his family, the burglars ex-con father comes seeking revenge. Soon the two men discover they are both pawns in a much bigger police cover up and come together to find the answers.

My Take:
Tight direction and a great cast take this tale down paths I never saw coming (ones I wont reveal). There's enough grittiness, blood shed, and adult themes to please many horror hounds.

Rating: So Good
