“Deadly Daughters” (*1/2 out of four) was a deadly dull melodrama about two two beautiful sisters (Yvonne Zima and Claire Rankin), one of whom may be plotting to murder their mother. Silly and bland thriller is about as scary and exciting as a family therapy session. Originally titled “Killing Monmy” but all the movie does is kill your time.

“Shiver Me Timbers” (** out of four) was a one-note horror show set in 1986 California in which a group of friends (Amy Mackie, Leona Faye, Yu Hung Li, and others) go on a camping trip to witness the passing of Hailey’s Comet but soon realize the arrival of the comet has dredged up the body of a formerly dead killer (Tony Greer) and they all have to run for their lives. More-or-less what you would expect although it does have a few flamboyant kills and doesn’t shy away from packing in gore. Numerous tongue-in-cheek film jokes abound for hardcore horror fans.
“Popeye’s Revenge” (** out of four) was a cardboard sequel to last year’s cult hit “Popeye The Slayer Man”; this time, everyone’s favorite spinach champion (Steven Murphy” goes after a group of camp counselors (Emily Mogiliner, Connor Powles, Danielle Ronald, and others) who intend to re-open their summer camp on property that he deems his own. Unnecessary sequel to a movie that wasn’t great to begin with but having said that it has a few good kills and minor scares. Relatively well-made also on a low-budget considering it was filmed in only 9 days
“Amityville Rex” (* out of four) was a pitiful horror thriller about an ancient dinosaur that is unleashed in (you guessed it) the town of Amityville and a priest (Jeff Kirkendall), a cop (Tim Hatch) and an escaped fugitive (Maria DeLorenzo) all fervently try to hunt him down and send him back to the Jurassic ages where he belongs. Painfully lame attempt to cross-pollinate the “Jurassic Park” and “Amityville Horror” genres (hence the clever title). Wooden acting is unintentionally hilarious and some of the special effects look like claymation shots from a toy store! Recommended ONLY to those who thought the original “Jurassic Park” was overrated
“Prank Night” (* out of four) was an abysmal potboiler about a young woman (Katherine Evans) who seeks brutal revenge on the group of thugs (Chad Rook, Hailey Foss, Patrick Creery, and others) who savagely attacked her family and left them for dead but finds that getting her hands bloody is a lot deadlier than she imagined. In-your-face unpleasantness combined with low-rent production makes this a chore to watch. For a more nonexploitive look at the same material, watch “Death Wish 2” or “The Brave One” instead. Rook is effectively creepy as the main villain
“She Likes To Watch” (* out of four) an almost unwatchable suspense psychodrama about a woman (Stormi Maya) who seeks escape from a hollow relationship and becomes involves in a sexual triad with a married couple (Kevin Gripper and Fancy Jones) but what initially seems alluring to her crosses the line into dangerous sexual obsession and fatal attraction. Ironically titled fiasco is unpleasant and unbelievable in equal measure and seems influenced by the worst aspects of early Adrian Lyne; a sexual triangle is hardly worth following when you don’t care about any of the three characters.
