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.

The Butterfly Room (2012)

Starring: Barbara Steele, Ray Wise, Heather Langenkamp , Erica Leerhsen, Julia Putnam
Director: Jonathan Zarantonello

Premise:
An old lady helps out her neighbor by watching her daughter for the weekend. The lady has room full of butterflies that she forbids anyone to enter. The young girl thinks the lady is hiding a body of another young girl in the room.

My Take:
It was nice to see horror legend Barbara Steel get a lead role. She plays the part with ease as one minute she's a sweet elderly woman and next a demented person. The flashback story helps moves the flick along. While it is a highly engaging movie I felt it was just off from being great.

Rating: In the middle
