Review'The Secret Circle' - Family

Daddy decides for everybody

secretcircle0_021212.jpg

This review may contain spoilers Eben (Sammi Rotibi) will exchange Faye (Phoebe Tonkin) for a crystal. Without all six no one can make the skull weapon. He's hanging out at the abandoned ferry (why is it still there?) for the poetic full-circle-ness of it all. Diana (Shelley Hennig) doesn't w ...

Crystals, demons and prom mix poorly

secretcircle110111.jpg

This review may contain spoilers It seems that the only person in this universe with any ability to plan is John Blackwell (Joe Lando). Everyone else is too distracted by frivolity or immediate gratification needs to think past the next half hour. John gives Cassie (Britt Robertson) a spell to ...

The Word of God revealed

supernat051412.jpg

This review may contain spoilers As the boys begin to hammer on Dick's clay block without any particular regard for the durability of its contents, a massive (global?) lightning storm begins, sort of syncing with the hammering. They ignore this blatant supernatural warning. As they reveal the ...

The adventures of Charlie Bradbury

supernat041712.jpg

This review may contain spoilers This episode essentially stars guest actor and geek goddess Felicia Day (Charlene "Charlie" Bradbury), and it plays heavily to that audience with dialog and decor constantly referencing genre classics. The boys and Bobby, while present, are just background an ...

Review'The Innkeepers'

'The House of the Devil' director Ti West conjures captivating supernatural chills in his latest film

innskeepers2_042012.jpg

This review may contain spoilers. "The Innkeepers" discards the rapid-fire scare tactics dominating the horror genre today and presents an engaging, traditional ghost story with a slow build and an ardent eye for character development. Written, directed and edited by Ti West, who helmed the 20 ...

Some ghost to watch over us

supernat042712.jpg

This review may contain spoilers With all the ghosts and ghost-specific drama like the bad ghost draining the others, this episode felt very "Being Human." Hunter friend, Annie (Jamie Luner), disappears into a haunted house; so the boys fumble around trying to find her. A portly ghost, Dexter ...

Oh, Bobby, where art thou?

Review'The Secret Circle' - Crystal

Crystals and the other are found

secrectcircle042412.jpg

This review may contain spoilers We see more of the big picture in this episode, which is welcome. Sure, it kinda falls apart if you pick at it (which I do), but that's the nature of the beast. The kids spend no time waffling about which of four, or sets of two grandparents they'll need to tar ...

Review'The Cabin In The Woods'

The future of horror starts here

cabin_013012.jpg

This review may contain spoilers “The Cabin in the Woods” is a difficult film to describe because to explain the true underlying premise of the film would spoil the bulk of its fun and originality. It starts off like any other horror film. Five friends head to a quaint little cabin conven ...

Daddy, dearest, has his way

secretcircle032512.jpg

Casino night is a bust

supernat031912.jpg

This review may contain spoilers While painting a picture of Sam's (Jared Padalecki) rapid mental decline now that he can't banish Lucifer visions anymore -- a decline that is very poorly managed by both boys -- the whole point of this episode is contained in the last three minutes or so where a ...
