Mother's Day Review
Director Darren Lynn Bousman’s film Mother’s Day is an unsettling home invasion film with so much tension and dread that, at times, it becomes truly tough to sit through. This is a sub-genre that I’m overly fond of for a few reasons in particular. The character development always seems to be a priority in these settings, as well as the tension of the cat and mouse game.

If you take Home Alone and The Strangers and mix them together, You’re Next [...]

This film has much more to offer and I actually refer to it a lot when bringing up horror movies people may have never seen. Storm Warning has its own special brand [...]

Home Sweet Home Review
There seems to be a resurgence of popularity in the ‘home invasion’ sub-genre of horror in the last year or so, and while there are plenty of cliche’s and similarities between all of the films in said sub-genre, some still manage to come off as rather original and very entertaining. David Morlet was able to deliver one of these with his project, “Home Sweet Home,” released earlier this year.
Morlet’s version of the home invasion seems to be a very [...]
