I struggle giving this very generic horror film three stars… but it has merit in ways I didn’t expect. Because, yeah, this is just a gimmicky PG13 horror film that everyone will have forgotten in a couple months. The flick … Continue reading
Call it Arachnophobia II… or Peur des Araignées if you want to get French about it (since this killer spider movie is French). What we have here is a particularly skin-crawling creature feature that works great in its first two … Continue reading
