‘We Are Still Here’ (2015): A Tense, Frightening & Haunting Ghost Story
After watching quite a few independent horror movies in the last couple of years, I can safely say that there are few filmmakers who can actually come up with an impressive story and concept. Even though ‘We Are Still Here’ is not an independent production, it nowhere tries to overdo things with any usual ghost […]

WWE’s Dean Ambrose in ’12 Rounds 3: Lockdown’
Professional wrestler Dean Ambrose made his acting debut in this action thriller ‘12 Rounds 3: Lockdown,’ directed by Stephen Reynolds. The original ‘12 Rounds‘ (2009) starring WWE superstar John Cena followed by a sequel ‘12 Rounds 2: Reloaded‘ (2013) by another WWE regular Randy Orton has been fairly good in action but less acting.

‘Southpaw’ (2015) – A Sports Drama Starring Jake Gyllenhaal
Acclaimed director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, The Equalizer) teams up with screenwriter Kurt Sutter (Sons of Anarchy) to produce one of the finest films of the year 2015.

‘Ahalya’ and ‘Alma’ – Drive the Message Beautifully
It is really interesting to find two short films so similar and good in concept and content, yet different from each other. I’m here talking about recently released Sujoy Ghosh’s short film Ahalya and the 2009-released critically acclaimed creepy animated film “Alma”. The first one has also been well received by netizens ever since its release […]
‘Strangerland’ (2015) – Kidman Shines, Film Lacks Thrill
The Australian-Irish suspense drama “Strangerland” is overall a good one from debutant director Kim Farrant but somehow lacks thrill. Nicole Kidman, as an anguished mother, distressed over the disappearance of her two children in an Australian desert town, has yet again delivered a surprisingly beautiful performance. “Strangerland” is very uneasy in the story when you […]
‘Insidious: Chapter 3’ (Movie Review) – Better Than Chapter 2
Many times the idea behind a movie prequel is more interesting than a sequel. The popular horror film franchise ‘Insidious’ in its third installment has proved it yet again with an engaging plot. While I must say that I liked the first part and not much the second, ‘Insidious: Chapter 3’ is certainly terrifying, in […]
