The Awakening is not a bad ghost story. One can clearly see an effort put in by the cast and crew…

Was very different than the standard horror story, very unique and emotional for a time period horror story…

Rebecca Hall gives a strong performance but it is sadly outweighed by by an unremarkable story with disappointing secrets…

The entire story was pretty dull and boring. I couldn't expect last twist though…

A pretty good ghost story up until the first twist. It was a good surprise, but then there were a few more that felt unnecessary…

Worth watching, with great acting and direction, but the story falls apart at the end with a contrived twist…

Sets a decent (tense) atmosphere but then fails to deliver the subsequent scares. Rebecca Hall does a great job in the lead role…

Review of Simon Says (2007)

By Stephan P (10) on 11 Apr 2011

A triumph in ridiculousness. Prepare for hilarious deaths, confusing plot holes, and lots and lots of pickaxes…

Review of Child's Play 2 (1990)

By Stephan P (10) on 15 Apr 2011

Still one of my favorites. Of course it's nowhere near as spooky as the original, but you get to see more of Chucky in action in this sequel…

Review of Seconds Apart (2011)

By Stephan P (10) on 20 Jun 2011

It would have been better as an X-files or a Twilight Zone episode, rather than a feature film. It has its creepy moments among its corny moments…

I really wish this had been a good movie simply because Kellan Lutz seems like such a nice guy and I'd like to see him do well as an actor…
