Posted on February 17, 2017 by Denise

Nutshell: Bojan Bazelli’s beautiful cinematography and Eve Stewart’s picture-perfect production design are wasted in this derivative horror mishmosh.  Speaking of criminal wastes of talent, Celia Imrie, Dane DeHaaan and Jason Isaacs turn in wonderful performances that this film just doesn’t … Continue reading →

TrailerWatch: “Wish Upon” says be careful what you wish for…

Posted on February 9, 2017 by Denise

I love the Wishmaster series.  But that’s mostly because they’re super cheesy, not because they’re particularly scary.  Still, the idea of a wish going horribly wrong makes for great horror (see: The Monkey’s Paw), and Wish Upon is taking up … Continue reading →
