No matter how mundane the “To Do” list task, “Ouija Summoning” is all the motivation you need to do anything that isn’t watching this movie.

With six consecutive features now tapping into this telltale brand of roadside hillbilly horror, following formula no longer challenges audiences to be shocked.

“Wolf Creek: The Series” may not be essential viewing, but it is entertaining, provided there exists a willingness to overlook implausible plotting.

If you’ve seen the first film, then you’ve seen this sequel’s identical plot beats of getting lost, yelling, being chased, becoming separated, and concluding in a creepy old house.

“The Purging Hour” is too vague about its mythology and too dull as a movie to come anywhere close to earning a recommendation.

It’s fine as the kind of movie you land on by happenstance and opt to stay there out of curiosity, boredom, or because you dropped the remote and don’t feel like picking it up.

As a monument to the man Leonard Nimoy, the myth of Mr. Spock, and the legend of how the two intertwine, the film is absolutely on point.

On a scale of sighing yawn to jaw on the floor, “it’s fine, I guess” is the maximum amount of enthusiasm to be marshaled for “The Shallows.”

While its soap opera satire might fizzle, the enchanting artistry behind Anna Biller’s Technicolor romance mixed in a pulp fiction mood sizzles.

"The Purge: Election Year" inspires minor food for thought while entertaining with a vibrantly violent blend of suspense and satire.

The movie is marred by the distinguishing characteristics of something that went through a wringer of rewrites and re-edits, paring it down into a predictable supernatural drama.

“The Remains” is equivalent to nondescript tract housing created from prefab components included in every other bland building already on the block.

“Doomed” is an emotional portrait of a close-knit cast and crew finding camaraderie in a common cause under unusual circumstances.

Penned by “Feast” co-writers Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, “The Neighbor” is a spiritual successor of sorts to the pair’s “The Collector” and “The Collection” movies.

The actors’ earnestness balances with the filmmakers’ sarcasm to strike the right mood of weirdness that is sometimes amusing, sometimes revolting, but usually entertaining.

For fans, “Batman: The Killing Joke” is popularly regarded as one of the greatest Batman tales ever told. For the film, it’s “just another” animated Bat movie.

How you felt about the flavor from the first season of "Fear the Walking Dead" is a fair indicator of how you might take to this film’s tone.

If a Jason meets Freddy madman stalking teens in tank tops is enough to make “Knucklebones” worth a watch, you don’t need me raining on the parade with critical comments.

“The Gateway” is precisely the sort of inspired indie effort that fledgling genre filmmakers with minimal resources and maximum outside-the-box initiative should make.

“The Amityville Terror” is what you get when limited time, a limited budget, and limited enthusiasm come together to pinch out an unoriginal horror film.
