Things take a radical turn when Hoax begins calling a toll-free phone number that provides daily \"horrorscopes,\" and he becomes possessed by a demonic force that enters his mind and body via the telephone line. ...
...him." No extras to speak of except a picture gallery. I saw this film on its release in 1987 - I rented it out from the video shop mainly because it starred Evil Ed from Fright Night and was the directorial debut of Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger) - it also been covered extensively in an old horror mag of the time called Fear. I loved it back then although I felt it dragged towards the end and the effects became a bit cardboard and cheap at the ...

Review of Paranormal Activity

PMS Can Be A Devil

Advantages: Disturbing, chilling atmosphere
Disadvantages: Not all it's cracked up to be; terrible special effects, some laughable bits

...beginning to drastically differ from the sweet young girl she once was. When doctors examine Regan they find that she turns violent and screams profanities at them which she has never done before. Doctors decide that a physiatrist may be the best option for Regan, but when all else fails Regan’s Mother is forced to turn to the church… I wasn’t around when The Exorcist was first released back in 1973 but have heard numerous things about the film ...

That I can’t effectively answer, after seeing ...

Review of The Exorcist (DVD)

Gory, gritty and deliciously fun, a worthy sequel to the original

Advantages: Gritty, suspenseful and jumpy - a solid horror
Disadvantages: Ridiculous plot lines in places, a little too gory on occasions

...on a regular basis with the pap often served up by Hollywood of late, both myself and my friend went to see the first Descent film without much expectation and with only the merest of hope we may at least get the odd nervous jump and maybe a quiet giggle at what will probably be another big busted beauty running around in her well-matched knickers. We were very wrong, the original film was gritty, well-shot and was, in our opinion, one of the best ...
...they were going to follow the original film on as it had left our feisty protagonist in a rather inescapable position, however, within the first few minutes of the film we see her again – bloody but free from the cavern of terror that had claimed so many of her friends. With suspicions running high as to the fate of the young women, and with Sarah's memory a complete blank, she is coerced into returning to the caves to assist with the rescue mission ...
