Cemetery Gates 2006, Second Nature 2003, Curdled 1996


Cemetery Gates-Not surprisingly, the Tasmanian Devil let loose in the cemetery was a horribly done movie. The signature "college co-eds" were in it, which always raises a flag of doubt. Course it COULD have been the find of the year as well. Horrible costume, bad acting, bad script, low budget, gratuitous blood shed....do I need to go on? Just the slightest hint of a plot, but not enough to reel one in at all.



Second Nature-Perhaps if this was my first "secret agent" or "experiment" movie ever it would have been good. It was pretty predictable, lame romantic interest....some good action scenes though. If you found this on TV and were bored for something to watch, it's not horrible. It's doable, but pretty predictable.



Curdled-By far the most original concept in the group. Woman fascinated by death quits her job as a baker in a bakery, and goes to work for a "unique" maid service company. They specialize in cleaning up really gory crime scenes once the police are done. Quirky, interesting, and I liked it. It didn't blow me away, and the ending was pretty predictable to me (but then again I have seen like a billion of these things) but it was an interesting and sort of humorous concept. I like original and quirky and this fit the bill.
