 | | 10. Saw IV (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Betsy Russell Scott Patterson Director: Darren Lynn Bousman | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 1/22/2008 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Saw IV - DVD Review By: Jesse Hassenger - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 1/21/2008 5:25 PM | |
The Saw films will doubtless continue and soon enough Saw IV will probably be relegated to the same blur with which I now see the other sequels. But for now it's the odd movie out -- as cheap and cheesy as its brethren, but oddly boring for long stretches. By now, these Saw characters have been having a very bad couple of murder-packed weeks. Maybe it would be best if the filmmakers skipped ahead and put this behind them.

 | | 16. Primeval (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Brooke Langton Orlando Jones Director: Michael Katleman | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 6/12/2007 | User Rating: 5 |  | Primeval - DVD Review By: Daniel Solomon - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 6/14/2007 11:11 PM | | The promise that comes from that brilliant line on the cover of Primeval is completely and brutally dashed by the film's end. It seems like it would be a no-brainer to make a film about a humongous, man-eating crocodile into something either fun or scary. It would be only the act of a true moron to screw such a premise up. Well, apparently director Michael Katleman is the type of person who could trip over a cordless phone or get hit by a parked car. Through sheer force of stupidity, he has made the impossible possible. read the full review | |

 | | 18. Messengers (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Dylan McDermott John Corbett Director: Oxide Pang Danny Pang | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 6/5/2007 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | The Messengers - DVD Review By: Brian Holcomb - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 6/7/2007 6:14 PM | | Here's what The Messengers uses for it's story: Roy (Dylan McDermott) and Denise (Penelope Ann Miller) have packed up their family and moved to a really absurdly run down Munsters-like haunted house in North Dakota (played by Canada) because they think this is the best way to reform their "troubled" teenage daughter, Jess (Kristen Stewart). Jess is upset over having to leave behind all her friends to live in American Gothic-land while her dad hires John (John Corbett), who steps out of nowhere and is just way too nice. He helps Roy plant sunflowers. Seriously. These guys are sunflower farmers. read the full review | |

 | | 21. One Missed Call (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Edward Burns Shannyn Sossamon Director: Eric Valette | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 4/22/2008 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | One Missed Call - DVD Review By: Rich Knight - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 5/4/2008 11:18 PM | | I'll be completely honest with you. When I first saw The Ring and, sigh, I'll admit it, The Grudge, I couldn't sleep that night. There was just something about seeing that face that really sent shivers down my spine and made me imagine that if I pulled the covers from over my head, I'd see that horrific woman/little girl with hair draping over her face, breathing cold death right into my mouth. Well, the same can't be said for One Missed Call, a movie so un-scary, that I was actually having a difficult time keeping my head up because I was so bored by the dragging storyline. read the full review | |
