Synopsis

A tale of greed, deception, money, power, and murder occur between two best friends: a mafia enforcer and a casino executive compete against each other over a gambling empire, and over a fast-living and fast-loving socialite.

Reason to Watch

Martin Scorsese's intimate epic about money, sex and brute force is a grandly conceived study of what happens to goodfellas from the mean streets when they outstrip their wildest dreams and achieve the pinnacle of wealth and power.

Synopsis

The Gremlins are back, and this time, they've taken control of a New York City media mogul's high-tech skyscraper.

Reason to Watch

Gremlins 2 The New Batch has so much comic energy that we overlook its lack of anything worth calling a plot.

Reason to Watch

This is a finely honed genre thriller, but it also continues Fincher's preoccupation with the persistence of age-old urges in the modern world.

Synopsis

A rape victim returns from the dead to seek vengeance on her rapists.

Reason to Watch

Every once and a while, unfortunately not very often, you encounter a film for which you had low or even zero expectations, but then it turns out to be surprisingly enjoyable! Even though this was never intended as anything more than splatter, it has some welcome dark humor in the mix.

Synopsis

During the winter season, a family camping in the woods, and a group of camp counselors training in the same forest both find themselves being killed one by one by an unhinged psycho.

Reason to Watch

Flawed but fun typical 80s slasher. The characters range from goofy to zany. The killer is ludicrous, yet entertaining. The plot is typical slasher fare, but doesn't take itself too seriously.

Synopsis

In a small town in North Carolina, a group of friends are stalked by a mysterious, machete wielding maniac.

Reason to Watch

This early 80's slasher effort should receive some kudos for being somewhat original. Unfortunately, it's not original in any way that makes it especially effective or good.
