Turistas: a less violent Hostel

It's seems to this reviewer that Turistas is a nice change of pace for the horror genre. With a greater emphasis on making the movie a "psychological thriller" instead of one with blood and gore, Turistas hits it's mark as being different from most films out today.

High Tension of High tension

This is a review for High Tension a horror/ psychological thriller/ crime thriller that came out in 2005 that I doubt may people saw. The critic is asking that this is a bad movie and he gave it 1.5 out of 4 which I totally disagree with.

Romance Shmomance

This is basically debating whether or not romance can go from book to screen without loosing all the elements that make it fit into the romance genre. It basically breaks down the genre and then tells us if certain movies still embody the elements that would qualify it for that genre.

Exorcist:Escapism vs. Supernatural

This is a link to Ebert's review of The Exorcist. In this review he gives the film a great rating but talks about the film's themes. He argues that the film is escapism not reality. I believe an exorcism isn't escapism, it's just unexplained. This is the link to the review, enjoy.
