In Fear (2013)

Starring:Alice Englert, Ian De Caestecker
Director: Jeremy Lovering


Premise:
A young couple gets lost in a rural area and gets tormented by a mysterious man.

My Take:
The movie mostly fails at being suspenseful (or too original) which is it's downfall.

Rating: In the middle (barely)

Prevenge (2017)

Starring: Alice Lowe, Kate Dickie, Jo Hartley, Tom Davis, Gemma Whelan
Director: Alice Lowe


Premise:
A pregnant woman goes on a murder spree at the request of her unborn child.

My Take:
A different take on what a woman goes through during pregnancy and her connection to the unborn baby. It also plays out a lot on a woman's fear. It's a dark and rather comical movie, especially how she picks out the victims.

Rating: So Good

Starring: John R Walker, Kristofer Dayne, Sara Dee, Dani Thompson,
Director: Tony Jopia


Premise:
Aliens genetically alter rabbits in order to help them impregnate women and save their race from extinction. Only problem is the humans decide to fight back.

My Take:
The whole idea is over the top as is acting. No one takes it seriously. Too bad there just isn't much that's enjoyable - except the bickering alien duo.

Director: Caradog W. James


Premise:
A mother tries to rekindle with the teenage daughter she gave up years ago. It seems the young girl has been marked by an evil force.

Director: Juan Carlos Medina


Premise:
A detective investigates a series of murders and a tries to help woman on trial for the murder of her husband, who he believes to have been the top suspect.

Premise:

Howl (2015)

Director: Paul Hyett


Premise:
A train breaks down in the wilderness that is the home of a pack of werewolves.

My Take:
The movie creates a decent amount of suspense before cutting loose on the action. The majority of the characters are absolutely annoying. The computer effects vs natural special effects for most parts of the movie don't really help the cause either.

The Beast Must Die! (1974)

Starring: Peter Cushing, Calvin Lockhart
Director: Paul Annet


Premise:
A big game hunter invites a group of guests to his mansion for the weekend. One of them is a werewolf and the hunter wants it as a trophy.

My Take:
The story itself isn't bad but the execution lacks and the "who is the werewolf" guessing part is way to gimmicky. It distracts from the movie.
