House
William Katt (THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO) stars in this 1980s horror/comedy as Roger Cobb, a writer who has just split from his wife and is looking to complete a novel about his experiences in Vietnam. In order to work in peace, Roger moves into his aunt's old house, which she left to him after committing suicide, apparently after a bout with mental illness. However, Roger quickly learns that his aunt's suicide was probably the result of the strange forces at work inside her house, forces which begin giving Roger terrible and very real feeling nightmares about his past. Soon, Roger has become convinced that his long dead son is somehow trapped within the house, and he prepares to find an entryway into the house's bizarre supernatural energy. An inventive take on the haunted house genre, HOUSE achieves its distinctive tone by deftly mixing an ominous atmosphere with dark humor and witty dialogue, resulting in an often creepy and very funny movie that has become a cult favorite.

Brilliantly Dreadful !!
Fantastic trip down memory lane for all those cursed with middle age syndrome. Awful effects, amature acting, plot thin enough to piddle through, yet, simply ... read more »

House 1985
Abysmal film - utter rubbish. Nothing good about the film. Starts off slow and stays slow!!! Nowhere near the standard of the likes of Amytville Horror etc.

Street Kings
- 15 Apr 2008
James Ellroy (LA Confidential; The Black Dahlia; Cop) is to the Los Angeles Police Department what Michael Moore is to George W Bush. He's a one-man black wash, a PR flak's worst nightmare. Even so, I'll bet his books are well thumbed in the precincts. His down and dirty detectives don't spend too much time filling out forms in triplicate. Street Kings takes a vintage Ellroy scenario (the script was also worked on Kurt Wimmer and Jamie Moss) about a rogue vigilante cop, Tom Ludlow (Keanu... Read more
