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.

Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! (2015)

Starring: Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, Cassandra Scerbo, Bo Derek, David Hasselhoff,
Director: Anthony C. Ferrante

Premise:
Multiple tornado filled with sharks threaten to wipe out the Eastern United States. Only one man can stop this disaster from occurring.

My Take:
After hating the first two movies in the series, I was trying to avoid more. But instead got suckered into it while watching with a group of friends. The movie is horrible and over the top and full of cameos and I really just dont understand why it's become such a huge cult phenom.

Airplane vs Volcano (2014)

Starring: Dean Cain, Robin Givens
Director: James Kondelik, Jon Kondelik

Premise:
A flight from LA to Hawaii goes off course and through a group of erupting volcanoes coming to the surface

My Take:
Another "gem: from Asylum Studios. My wife picked it out and it is so damn bad. I could pick the script apart by what's the point. This what these guys do. Kudos to them for making money.

Aftershock (2013)

Starring: Eli Roth, Lorenz Izzo, Nicolas Martinez, Andrea Osvart
Director: Nicolas Lopez

Premise:
A group of friends try to get out of a Chilean city alive after an earthquake devastates the town and a tsunami is bearing down.

My Take:
In order for a distaster movie to work for me then I must care about some characters. In this flick, I could care less for any of these spoiled, whiny idiots. The effects are decent but few and far between. And there is just a lot of people running around and screaming.
