This rip off of Stephen King’s “Pet Semetary” features a group of university-funded researchers who’ve discovered a procedure for bringing the dead back to life, with disastrous results. It’s barely scary, horribly predictable, and features a lame ending more commonly associated with cheap low budget horror flicks. Don’t waste your time.

Where Spectre is a little different is its inclusion of subtle homages to past Bond films (a cute touch), the […]
This is a mildly interesting, low budget psychological sci-fi drama about 50 strangers held captive in a mysterious room that kills one of them every two minutes.
