A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

91 mins     Horror      

It's strange, as a movie fan I have never been a huge horror fan and as such in my teens I didn't care to watch "A Nightmare on Elm Street" yet thanks to it's iconic status I knew so much about it. So now over 25 years after ...

Scream 3 (2000)

116 mins     Comedy, Horror, Thriller      

Fresh, fun and shocking are not words that spring to mind to describe "Scream 3", what for a while was the final chapter in the "Scream" movies. I say supposed as like any horror bad guy, they keep coming back and with "Screa...

Cursed (2005)
