The Void (2017)

Cloaked, cult-like figures trap a police officer (Aaron Poole), patients and staffers inside a hospital that is a gateway to evil.

Thoughts: Hokey and confusing.  The practical effects are solid, but the grotesqueries and gruesomeness are, ultimately, more silly than scary.

2.5/5

The Strangers (2008)

A young couple staying in an isolated vacation home are terrorized by three unknown assailants.

Thoughts: Some great suspense and scares in this home invasion thriller that, unfortunately, hinges on the contrived inability to place a 911 call – and the killer’s unlikely confidence that this is the case. P.S. Keep those cell phones charged!

3.5/5

The Loved Ones (2009)

When Brent turns down his classmate Lola’s invitation to the prom, she concocts a wildly violent plan for revenge.

Thoughts: I really wanted to like this one, but its fantastic premise is completely undone by villains so over-the-top that the silliness overwhelms the scares.

2.5/5
