Movie Review: Finders Keepers

Finders Keepers Poster

The trailer for Finders Keepers immediately caught my eye. First I noticed that the family home in which the movie takes place in looked very similar to the home in House (1986). Promptly I did some research and according to IMDB the home is a replica of the home in House. Second, Tobin Bell (Saw Franchise) was in the film, this made me want to see the movie more. Finally to top it off, a movie about a killer doll, score!

(The similarities of the two houses can be seen below).

Finders Keepers was released in 2014 for the SyFy Channel and will be released in Redbox on January 6, 2015. Alyson Simon (Jaime Pressly) has recently separated from her husband and Alyson moves into a new house with her daughter Claire (Kylie Rogers). The two have a chance to redeem themselves with a new home and a new life. However, Allsyon is unaware her new home was once the scene of a grizzly murder when the ten-year-old son of the previous tenants killed the entire family. As the two are settling down in their new home, Clair finds an odd doll in her room and instantly gravitates to it. Clair’s behavior begins to change, and she becomes obsessed with the doll. Alyson suspects that the doll might be causing the strange behaviors that Claire has been experiencing lately. Alyson begins to feel overwhelmed and does not know what to do. Alyson seeks assistance from Child Psychiatrist Dr.Freeman (SAWs Tobin Bell) and her ex-husband Jonathan (Starship Troopers Patrick Muldoon ). Alyson begins to panic and realize the severity when she starts to discover dead bodies; she is not only fighting for her life, but the life of her daughter.

I had a lot of fun with this film. It was not particularly gory. However, the movie is incredibly menacing at times creating uneasiness. The doll used in the movie was  very creepy, and the appearance made me believe that it could commit malicious acts of terror at any time. I know that SyFy in the past has had a reputation for not releasing the best films, but this one was damn good and kept me interested. Young actress Kylie Rogers did a fantastic job in this movie; her performance was very believable. It was also a treat to watch Tobin Bell; I had not seen him in anything since his performance in Saw 3D: The Final Chapter back in 2010. If you are looking for something fun and  watchable, you will enjoy Finders Keepers.

This includes legendary musicians, Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, and Trooper Eddie from Iron Maiden.

Adding to that iconic list is director Rob Zombie formerly of the band White Zombie. Yesterday, via Instagram, Zombie posted that his likeness will join the Music Maniacs line. The “Dracula” music video inspires his pose.

For now, McFarlane’s Music Maniacs collection is only available for pre-order. The Zombie figure is limited to only 6,200 pieces. Pre-order yours at the McFarlane Toys website.

“In a Violent Nature” So Gory Audience Member Throws Up During Screening

in a violent nature horror movie

Chis Nash (ABC’s of Death 2) just debuted his new horror film, In a Violent Nature, at the Chicago Critics Film Fest. Based on the audience’s reaction, those with squeamish stomachs may want to bring a barf bag to this one.

Thats right, we have another horror film that is causing audience members to walk out of the screening. According to a report from Film Updates at least one audience member threw up in the middle of the film. You can hear audio of the audience reaction to the film below.

In a Violent Nature

This is far from the first horror film to claim this kind of audience reaction. However, early reports of In a Violent Nature indicates that this film may be just that violent. The film promises to reinvent the slasher genre by telling the story from the killer’s perspective.

Here is the official synopsis for the film. When a group of teens takes a locket from a collapsed fire tower in the woods, they unwittingly resurrect the rotting corpse of Johnny, a vengeful spirit spurred on by a horrific 60-year old crime. The undead killer soon embarks on a bloody rampage to retrieve the stolen locket, methodically slaughtering anyone who gets in his way.

While we will have to wait and see if In a Violent Nature lives up to all of its hype, recent responses on X offer nothing but praise for the film. One user even makes the bold claim that this adaptation is like an arthouse Friday the 13th.

In a Violent Nature will receive a limited theatrical run starting May 31, 2024. The film will then be released on Shudder sometime later in the year. Make sure to check out the promo images and trailer below.

New Windswept Action Trailer for ‘Twisters’ Will Blow You Away

Published

on

The summer movie blockbuster game came in soft with The Fall Guy, but the new trailer for Twisters is bringing back the magic with an intense trailer full of action and suspense. Steven Spielberg’s production company, Amblin, is behind this newest disaster film just like its 1996 predecessor.

This time Daisy Edgar-Jones plays the female lead named Kate Cooper, “a former storm chaser haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado during her college years who now studies storm patterns on screens safely in New York City. She is lured back to the open plains by her friend, Javi to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. There, she crosses paths with Tyler Owens (Glen Powell), the charming and reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures with his raucous crew, the more dangerous the better. As storm season intensifies, terrifying phenomena never seen before are unleashed, and Kate, Tyler and their competing teams find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma in the fight of their lives.”

Twisters cast includes Nope’s Brandon Perea, Sasha Lane (American Honey), Daryl McCormack (Peaky Blinders), Kiernan Shipka (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), Nik Dodani (Atypical) and Golden Globe winner Maura Tierney (Beautiful Boy).

Twisters is directed by Lee Isaac Chung and hits theaters on July 19.
