Summary: A strange and interesting movie.
Review: I think this movie is great! There's something about kids hiding in the walls of houses and two deranged psychopaths hunting them down that just gives this movie a special flair... I only wish that they would've given Roach a longer part in the film!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: there is only one bad thing about this film
Review: the only downside to this film is that it only seems psychoticly wierd on the first viewing, all the mystery and just plain strangness is taken away after you've seen it. when you first see it the film looks pretty damn scarey. its all gone after you have seen it cause the ending shows everything. but its still a classic.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: People from Potsdam NY have to see this movie...
Review: Those of you who live near/in or have seen either the Omicron Pi Omicron house or the Tau Epsilon Phi house have to see this movie... I'm sure that you all know by this point that it was written about these two houses. I was at parties at the two houses last night and it turned out to be one of the freakiest nights of my life. Thanks for a great weekend, Clarkson...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A superb satirical horror -comedy
Review: This is one of Wes Craven's most brilliant films. Although it seesaws between horror and comedy it is definately worth watching. On the surface it is a high-octane thriller about a would-be robber (a thirteen year old boy named "Fool") trapped in a house that belongs to a cannabalistic brother and sister. But this film contains a deeper message--a brutal satire about social distinctions with the villians bearing a strange resemblance to Ronald and Nancy Reagen. A.J. Langer's debut is a good one as the "daughter-figure" who also finds herself trapped in this creepy house--but in a different sense. The supporting cast is great and the set design is perfect. This is a must see for horror fans with a sense of humor.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Everybody needs to see this movie!!
Review: This great movie is about a boy from the ghetto, fool, who needs to find money to pay for rent and his grandmother's surgery. Upon hearing about gold in a haunted house that the landlord owns, Fool quickly decides to break in and take his share. This is a great comedy that will make you laugh until you hurt. Great one-liners add to this movie. Even scary movie-haters will love this one. See it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A shocker with thrills, chills, and comedy.
Review: This shockingly funny movie was about a thirteen year old boy whom is poor, so when he finds out his landlords have gold hidden in their house, he is ready to be a thief to pay off his grandmothers operation for her illness and rent. But he doesn't expect is that these landlords are psychopaths that keep children in the cellar, feeding them dead bodies of people who tried to escape their house, which is the exact same thing they feed their dog, a large, fierce St. Bernard that is following the boy all through the movie. The boy, Fool, meets Alice, one of the landlords children who was the only of a bunch of children that the landlord kidnapped at birth that goes by the rules of See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil and wasn't put under the stairs and Roach, the kid who escaped from under the cellar and now lives in the walls, living by his own rules, but without a tounge because he spoke evil by yelling for help,and Fool befrinds them. After Fool and the landlords both get a beating, Fool narrowly escapes, but without Alice, but with some gold, enough to pay for his grandmothers operation and his rent until about the year 2000. Fool tells his family about his shocking expirence and discovers the landlords are brother and sister. But after remebering about Alice, Fool makes a life of death decision to go back to save Alice, and after the police are left stumpped, Fool has to take matters into his own hands. This thrilling comedy by director Wes Craven (Scream) was a great movie for people who like non stop action and comedy laughs.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Twisted --I loved it!!!
Review: Everett McGill and Wendy Robie team up as the derranged "Daddy" and "Mommy" who turn out to be brother and sister. Their rantings of the timeless "see, speak, and hear no evil," "children should be seen and not heard," and "burn in hell!" are a hilarious yet sick parody of puritan stereotypes taken to the extreme. reminds me of the mother in "Carrie." The girl "Alice" is later Rayann from "My so-called life" and McGill and Robie co-stared (again in a sick "married" relationship) as Ed and Nadine Hurley in Tein Peaks. this movie is not for the faint at heart. very strong language and shamless violence... but hey! That's what makes movies good!!! heh heh...
