Sandy Chukhadarian’s Film “Psychos” is Not One to Miss

When three young women receive shocking videos anonymously, a nightmare is reawakened that ignites a thirst for bloody vengeance. They embark on a journey to locate the house, their sadistic captor and to discover the truth behind those locked doors. But, the most shocking revelation of this chilling tale is the identities of the victims. If anyone has read my movie reviews before, you know that if the movie is lacking, I am not afraid to tell you so. I still feel a bit bad about my last scathing review, but it was honest. Luckily, today is not a day for scathe. I watched Psychos last night. This film written and directed by Sandy Chukhadarian and it was fantastic! It stars Angelica Chitwood, Deniele Cloutier and Melissa Elena Jones and is released through Leomark Studios. I wasn’t sure what to expect going in. I watched the trailer about 30 seconds before watching the film and, to be honest, wasn’t gripped.

The Autopsy of Jane Doe: The Character is Dead, but the Movie Thrives

I just finished the André Øvredal directed film The Autopsy of Jane Doe. Going into this movie, I was completely unaware of what it was about other than the brief synopsis on imdb.com. I chose to watch it because I had heard it was good and I am a fan of the starring actors. The film is obviously billed as a horror movie, but I didn’t know what type and, in the very best of ways, I didn’t expect what it was. I promise to give away no spoilers or even any hints about what to expect, but I strongly, strongly urge everyone to watch this movie. It did no rely of cheap thrills or over the top ridiculousness. My biggest issue with many horror movies is that the climax always ends up being some extravagant, highly destructive finale that doesn’t match the rest of the movie. This movie did not do that. The Autopsy of Jane Doe established a
