The Apparitionreally earns it’s 3% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. While the initial scenes of a college experiment to summon a spirit could have led to a really interesting film, the movie totally ignores that aspect of the plot in favor of a very underwhelming haunted house movie that features almost no haunting and mostly just tensionless bad acting.
The Factoryfollows a detective obsessed with finding a serial killer who’s been kidnapping sex workers off the streets of Buffalo, but when his daughter gets taken by the same killer he starts to lose his sanity. Starring John Cusack and Jennifer Carpenter, this film features big names with a bad plot and some really rough writing. Even John Cusack...
The Return to House on Haunted Hill is painfully cheesy, confusingly sexual, and suffers from some truly terrible writing and a plot that was clearly not well-thought-out. There are some threads of plot that could have been picked up for an interesting ending, but all of those were ignored in favor of a clumsy “it was the devil” ending. Related: Ev...
Starring Hilary Swank and Idris Elba, The Reapingfeatures some interesting plot threads, but is ultimately let down by lazy writing with a ham-fisted religious angle that takes over the entire narrative without even the slightest bit of nuance. The plot twists are predictable and boring, and it all leaves the viewer highly underwhelmed.
A thriller set in Antarctica, Whiteout is inoffensive, but mostly boring and forgettable. Kate Beckinsale can’t save a plot that’s straight-forward and mostly devoid of tension; this is, more often than not, a death blow for thrillers. The obvious similarities to The Thingultimately make the audience even more disappointed with such a bland movie i...
The first of Dark Castle Entertainment’s films to get semi-positive reviews from critics, Spliceis an interesting sci-fi/horror film that follows a scientist couple who introduce human DNA into their work splicing genes. The film offers an interesting premise, but ultimately the movie is just so-so, offering both positives and negatives in nearly e...
The first film Dark Castle Entertainment made, House on Haunted Hill is a remake of the original 1959 movie with the same title. While the film is a poor remake of the Vincent Priceclassic, the movie as a stand-alone film is not bad. It’s very standard of 2000s horror, but the characters are amusing and the kills are a lot of fun. Related: Every Ni...
Definitely one of Dark Castle Entertainment’s forgotten gems, Ghost Ship is surprisingly enjoyable with an interesting premise and decent plot. Though the acting and characters are not amazing by any stretch of the mind, the film itself is unique and fun. For gamers, the film offers a plot very similar to Dark Pictures: Man of Medannearly 20 years ...
House of Wax is a remake of Andre DeToth’s 1953 film of the same name. It features performances from notable celebrities of the time, Chad Michael Murray, Jared Padalecki, and Paris Hilton, and is certainly representative of its 2005 release date in terms of aesthetic. Though the original is a far eerier story with better writing by far, the 2005 r...
The first of the films on the list that is commonly considered to be good, Orphanis a spooky film about a mysterious girl and what happens to the family who adopts her. Featuring a fresh plot and interesting writing, this film is one of the best in modern creepy kid sub-genres of horror.
