  Little bump as I included the trailer for your viewing pleasure. Mongolia is faraway, barren and mostly unknown territory for us Westerners. Most of us know very little about it, except maybe a little trivia about Genghis Kahn. Rowan Lee...

  Reading the reactions beneath the 4Bia 2 review it seems that I'm not the only one who waited a long time before actually sitting down to watch Alone. Since I just saw it yesterday, here's my take on the film....

• Commented on PHOBIA 2 Review
  I'm actually surprised to see Alone being called a "hit". I assume it did well locally, but it merely received 10% of the votes Shutter did (on IMDb) and seems neglected by most people, even those that loved Shutter. I...

  Horror and comedy are two genres that mix surprisingly well, although the mixture is often not to the taste of everyone. Some classic cult and pulp films came forth out of this unlikely marriage, Zombieland could just as well be...

  With the resurrection of the horror genre a shortage of clever concepts was imminent, and so the American remake machine geared up for another run. Most of the true 70s and 80s classics are already blessed a make-over, but now...
