The Uninvited
$19.99
I loved this movie and it has a twist you won't expect at the end! Emily Browning is a beautiful and talented actress and I am very glad she took this role! Definitely rent this if you won't buy it!

Daydreamer
$24.98
I've seen the pre-release version. Dark and intriguing. Aaron Paul is really great. The story draws you in, never guessing what is happening until near the end.

Reeker

Reeker (Dave Payne, 2005)

Unfortunately for Reeker, I didn't see nearly as many movies this week as I did last week, so it has very little competition for the worst movie I saw this week. In fact, I'd have to say it stands head and shoulders above everything else. I mean, when your big twist at the end of the movie explains everything...except for the first scene...someone obviously wasn't paying attention.

Story: a bunch of kids are going to a big music festival out in the desert (think Burning Man here). After a stop at a diner, they discover that one of their number, Trip (All In's Scott Whyte), is carrying about twenty thousand dollars' worth of stolen drugs. Gretchen (The Quarry's Tina Illman), who's driving, stops and orders Trip out of the car. When Trip can't get a signal in the desert, she agrees to drive him back to the diner to use their pay phone. When they get back, though, the diner and accompanying motel are deserted. Except, that is, for whatever it is that did very, very bad things to the family in the first scene. (It took me reading the message board to understand what that all had to do with the rest of the flick. I have to say that in general, I don't miss that sort of thing, and usually I'm the person doing the explaining. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm thinking if I didn't put the pieces together until getting outside help, most others won't either.)

As with most recent no-budget schlockfests like this one, you can count on all the basic, and clich���d, things that are supposed to make you jump. You can count on a couple of scenes of supposed levity. You can count on pedestrian camerawork, competent direction at best, and terrible acting. Reeker delivers on all counts, including having one of the dumbest names I've ever seen on a horror film. But really, the only surprise here is that someone thought this was worthwhile enough to make a sequel to it three years later. Avoid at all costs. (half)

American Pie - Band Camp (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
$14.98
I hope to God, in all honesty, that they directors stop making the newer "American Pie" movies. They're so lame! They don't even star the same people, that's a huge turn off. The first 3 movies are the best, the ones after are complete garbage. America, save your money.
