Boo 1/5
Started out asking, "where are the Japanese?" followed by, "did I get the wrong movie?". It turns out that my warped memory remembers a sample clip of Home Sweet Home which is a Japanese horror film, and somehow associated it with the title, Boo.
That aside, what started as a promising modern haunted asylum horror film ended in an almost unwatchable finale.
Domino 3/5
Did Tony Scott come to the editing room with the latest editing effects software package? The movie certainly looks that way. I wonder how it would have turned out, had Ridley been there to reign him back just a bit. I was afraid this was going to be another Kill Bill type pulp action film, but it ended better than I thought.
Masters of Horror: Homecoming 4/5
While not exactly feature film length, this can hold its own as well as any. An impressive piece from Joe Dante, which just mixes up my ranking list yet again...
Tobe Hooper - Dance of the Dead
Joe Dante - Homecoming
Don Coscarelli - Incident On & Off a Mountain Road
Stuart Gordon - Dreams in the Witch-House
Mick Garris - Chocolate
Dario Argento - Jenifer
How about yours?
