Run is a religious thriller and that might be giving it too much credit. The acting is downright awful only to be outdone by an even worse screenplay.

Shark Bait: 6 Killer Shark Films DVD Review
I really hate Sharknado and its popularity giving green light to so many terrible copycats that tried to be as tongue-in-cheek but miserably failed. Here we get six of these awful movies that only masochists could truly enjoy.

Escape Plan: The Extractors Blu-ray Review
Escape Plan: The Extractors, and this might be faint praise, is at least better than the previous installment if only that Sylvester Stallone seem like he was the star. As it is, there is some fun entertainment value to the third entry.

Save Yourself DVD Review
Save Yourself is a well done horror thriller that’s nothing I’d call incredible but as indie horror goes, it’s really worth a rental (and is currently available for free on Amazon Prime).
The Poison Rose Blu-ray Review
The Poison Rose is just another failure in John Travolta’s ever fading career, and I say that with no glee or happiness as he has shown to be a fantastic actor so I can only hope a Tarantino or Nolan might re-vitalize his career one more time.
2047: Virtual Revolution DVD Review
2047: Virtual Revolution was a surprisingly solid sci-fi action-thriller that does heavily borrow from Blade Runner and even The Matrix, but I had a lot of fun and was thoroughly engaged until the end.
Tsunambee DVD Review
Tsunambee of course was bad but unlike Sharknado and movies like it, there was a certain fun factor but this one was just terrible with nothing positive thing I can say.
Animalistic DVD Review
Animalistic is hardly an “enjoyable” film and doesn’t really stand out even amongst the revenge films that have come before like I Spit on Your Grave (including a remakes and sequels) but I will say for the most part Hanna Oldenburg wasn’t too bad.
Scrawl DVD Review
The more appropriate title for Scrawl should have been “Scattershot” instead with an awfully confusing plot from the get-go. The only reason this is now receiving any more attention is it does feature a pre-Star Wars Daisy Ridley.
Hi-Death DVD Review
Hi-Death is an anthology movie that has many of the pratfalls of others where most of the segments are garbage with one or maybe two having some value but here even the ones were decent, it’s cancelled out due to the cheap looking production.
The Green Inferno: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
The Green Inferno certainly has its moments and not entirely unwatchable, but it does have many of the staples of an Eli Roth film, most notable wholly unlikeable characters, though I did enjoy Lorenza Izzo’s performance.

The Sitter DVD Review
The Sitter did have some potential wasted due to a poor script though the performance from star Aisling Knight was probably lone bright spot.
The New York Ripper Blu-ray Review
The New York Ripper is hardly perfect but does have some interesting elements, most notably a serial killer who quacks like a duck, comes across more bizarre than scary or even creepy.
The Illusionist Blu-ray Review
For me, The Illusionist is a better film than The Prestige if only very slightly, but because both films came out the same year, it has been in many ways overshadowed.
Never Grow Old Blu-ray Review
Never Grow Old isn’t an especially memorable Western-drama though Emile Hirsch holds his own in the lead while John Cusack I suppose does his best with a thin role, even so, he does come across as bored versus menacing.
