The Appearing (2014) – More Surprises, Less Horror
Don’t know if this is only my view, but these days there are very few horror films that can scare you to death.

American Muscle (2014) – Movie Review
Honestly, ‘American Muscle’ doesn’t deliver what it promises long before with its trailer release. Although it’s a revenge saga with a hell of a lot of killings, the screenplay lets down the whole project. I mean how come you bear a movie with a lame script and not so engaging narration. Debutant director Ravi Dhar’s ‘American Muscle’ talks about […]
