Year: 2005
Director: Brian Yuzna
Plot: Forty-years after a group of frightened villagers convinced authorities to build the dam that would flood the village of Marinbad and drown the evil that lurks therein, a village built next to the reservoir that sits placid over the cursed ground begins to experience a series of mysterious deaths. Decades ago a curse consumed Marinbad, and as the evil threatened to expand into the surrounding land the villagers successfully lobbied to have their once-peaceful hamlet flooded in hopes of keeping the malevolent spirits contained. Two decades have passed since that fateful attempt to wash away the sins of the land, and now something unspeakable has surfaced in the waters that cover Marinbad. When numerous area people go missing and scores of citizens perish under strange circumstances on the fortieth anniversary of the dam, it begins to appear as the one who was left for dead has risen from the depths. Director Brian Yuzna teams with The Fantastic Factory to adapt an original novel by author Matthew Costello. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Body: Never Cry Werewolf is a Sci-Fi Channel original movie, so, my expectations were fairly low. And then, I was pleasantly surprised. A mysterious man, who looks like a creepy-child-molesting version of Hugh Jackman, moves into a new house and attracts the attention of the two kids next door. The oldest, a teen-age girl, finds herself having some inappropriate dreams about the new comer and then notices that women keep disappearing into his house. Cheesy effects, but an alright story. Terrible werewolf transformations. But then Hercules (Kevin Sorbo, "Meet the Spartans") pops in with some comic relief.I caught Beneath Still Waters late one night on Sci-Fi. From director Brian Yuzna ("Rottweiler"), it's got some cheesy acting, but a really interesting story. The plot involves a town being flooded for the building of a dam, demons and scary zombie-type creatures. I thought it was really creepy and fun.Sabrina, the original (hopefully, everyone's forgotten the remake by now), is bot comic and tragic. Audrey Hepburn ("Always") is difficult to make unnoticeable, but director Billy Wilder ("Buddy Buddy ") and costumer Edith Head ("The Last Married Couple in America") do an excellent job. Hepburn plays the daughter of a chauffeur and is hopelessly in love the boss' playboy younger son. After a stint in Paris, she comes back glamorous and catches the eye of both the young playboy and his older brother, a Mr. Humphrey Bogart ("the Harder They Fall"). Hijinks and heartaches ensue. I loved it. The costumes, the brooding of Bogie. All of it.Torn Curtain, an Alfred Hitchcock ("Family Plot") staring Paul Newman ("Cars") and Julie Andrews ("Enchanted"). Newman is a scientist who has seemingly defected fro the US to East Germany during the Cold War because he lost his funding. He tries to live his fiancee/assistant, Andrews, behind before he enters Germany, but she follows him. I found this to be very suspenseful, and, of course, well made. But not Hitch's best.Mildred Pierce is a fabulous noir with Joan Crawford ("Journey to Murder") doing everything she can to make her spoiled daughter happy. It, of course, ends in tragedy, but not before Crawford does some fine acting and we're gripped to our seats wondering how this murder really played out. And who's going down for it.

Body: I saw this movie a few days ago. It was good. Ancient evil, cannabalistic cult, possession. It was a hoot. My favorite was the acting by people who were so convincing that it felt as if I was there. Also, people kept getting killed by a long dead evil that most of them had probably never even heard about. This along with Dagon are up there in the Spanish Horror genre involving water and general bad stuff for any town. :)
