[good things]
It's a great, but typical haunted house movie, even though not very interesting it was entertaining. The girl wasa very good and creepy addition to the downright eerie backing music/score. I believe the movie was very well done, and the location was right on.


[the bad]
Typically with movies like this, the bad acting is a given-- we have that. We also have almost no blood, and the blood and effects we get were obvious low budget, but alright. The story also kind of drags on a little too long, there were times when I found myself wanting to hit fast forward. The overdubbing wasn't too great either.


[final thoughts]
Umberto Lenzi is not known for making great films, Ghost House is nothing different, but definitely one of ... Read More

VHS : Modern Problems
This movie has a major plus for fans of Dabney Colman. If you've always wanted to get a view of that prodigious posterior without the obstruction of fabric, this movie is for you. It's worth the purchase price!

3.Crawlers, The (aka "Troll 3") starring: Mary Sellers, Jason Saucier, Bubba Reeves, Chelsi Stahr, Vince O'Neil

VHS : Crawlers, The (aka "Troll 3")
This is quite possibly one of the worst movies of the modern era, and it's just a darned shame that MST 3000 never got hold of it.

That said, this is a FANTASTIC party flick. Slap it in the VCR and settle in for a couple hours of mockery and hooting. The movie closes with what is quite possibly one of the worst miniature sequences EVER done. It's beyond painful.

4.The War starring: Elijah Wood, Kevin Costner, Mare Winningham, Lexi Randall, LaToya Chisholm

VHS : The War
The war is a Kevin Costner movie, which is to say its a tad too long, and is likely to give you food for thought.

The War is a movie my wife and I have watched several times, and always come away moved. "The War" is the Story of a veteran who comes home from Viet Nam damaged with PSD, in a time when help was not available, and the stigma of mental health disorders was considerable. It is the story of a boy who is conflicted between loving and being ashamed of his father. It is a story of poverty as a great equalizer, and of friendship. Finally it is a story about courage and cowardice in many forms.

So here's the deal, this isn't a fun movie, it isn't entertaining, but it is a moving tale that will give you things to think about.
