This film takes place 30 years after the events of The Mummy’s Hand. A high priest travels to America with the mummy to react revenge on what happened before. There’s much to love about The Mummy’s Tomb whether it’s the moody black and white photography in which shadows are brilliantly used (more proto-Goth) or the …

The grandson of the original Invisible Man uses his formula to spy on the N*zis and help the war effort. This was an unexpected turn for the Invisible Man series. Claude Rains returns and is as good as ever as are the rest of the cast with the villains being suitably over the top and …

Teenaged Leatherface and his pals escape from a mental institution and take a nurse with them against her will. A sheriff is following in hot pursuit.

The Next Generation was directed by Kim Henkel who wrote the original. This entry ranges from mildly interesting (the first ten minutes) through to generic tedium …
Another found footage Amityville entry. This has two stories taking place in two separate time periods. This bears all of the components for Amityville franchise entries of this era- namely it’s boring, has a mercifully short running time and is a good cure for insomnia. Again, this is terrible. And what makes it worse is …
