Hyde's Secret Nightmare (2011)

Starring: Claudio Zanelli, Roberta Gemma
Director: Domiziano Cristopharo


Premise:
An impotent scientist tries to find a cure for his condition by experimenting on dead body's. Successful, he tests it out on himself with unexpected results.

My Take:
Somewhere between the graphic, hardcore sex scenes there is a Jekyll and Hyde type story with a twist. The movie felt way to long for what was happening.  The end result feels like an odd mix of horror and porn, with the makers not knowing which way they really want to take the story.

Rating: Warning

Walking Dead: No Turning Back [volume 25]

Premise:
A group of students go to a secluded island to make a movie. After playing a game called Bloody Crayons they start to get murdered one at a time.

Rigor Mortis (2013)

AKA: Geung Si

Director: Juno Mak


Premise:
A suicidal former action star movies into an apartment complex haunted by two spirits, ran by a former vampire hunter, and has a woman trying to bring her husband back from the dead.

My Take:
The movie takes it's time building up an layered story that deals with spirits, vampires, and black magic. A throwback of sorts to the classic 70's horror tales of Hong Kong done in a unique and stylish manor.

Scenic Route (2013)

Starring: Josh Duhamel, Dan Fogler,
Director: Kevin Goetz, Michael Goetz


Premise:
Two friends have their relationship tested to the limits when their vehicle breaks down in the middle of the desert.

My Take:
The movie is essentially a two man play hinges a lot on the performances of the two characters. Sometimes the dialog and actions feel forced but it does leave you hoping they make it out of the situation.

Rating: In the middle
