Spellcaster (1992)

REVIEWER RATING: 
5/10


Before he created Full Moon Entertainment, there was Empire Pictures -- a production and distribution outfit headed by Charles Band. Completed in '88 Spellcaster was one of the many films under the banner, but due to Empire's financial problems towards the end of the decade, it didn't actually get a proper release until '92. Those familiar with the early works of Full Moon will definitely notice the same look and feel from Spellcaster, and it's very much as cheesy as you'd come to expect from a Charles Band-produced feature.

The story basically revolves around an eclectic group of people who win a trip to stay the night in an old Italian castle, where they can partake in a million-dollar scavenger hunt. Naturally when such a substantial amount of money is involved greed and deception comes into play, resulting in a lot of the contestants breaking the rules and mysteriously disappearing and dying in unnatural ways. It's soon revealed that their deaths are the work of a strange man who can control their fates via a crystal ball.

Splice (2010)

REVIEWER RATING: 
7/10


Cube director Vincenzo Natali brings us yet another thought-provoking feature with Splice, a sci-fi effort that didn't quite capture the audiences that it should have at the box office. Poorly marketed as a horror film, Splice is more of sci-fi drama, with minor horror elements thrown in. The story brings forth many ethical questions and debate on the right and wrongs of medical science and is probably one of the more smart "horror" films to come out in years.
