Priest (2011)



A priest disobeys church law to track down the vampires who kidnapped his niece.

If you look past the rather cliched, unoriginal plot, you may enjoy this horror-science fiction-Western action thriller for its brilliant style and some breathtaking visuals.

Maltin**1/2: "Director and star of LEGION reunite for an equally absurd but more exciting fantasy-thriller...Violent action-adventure borrows imagery and plot elements from THE SEARCHERS and other classic Westerns, and is all the more enjoyable as a guilty pleasure for not slipping into self-conscious campiness."

Dark Skies (2013)



As the Barrett family's peaceful suburban life is rocked by an escalating series of disturbing events, they come to learn that a terrifying and deadly force is after them, one which may have arrived from beyond the stars.

Derivative sci-fi horror thriller has an good cast and some atmosphere, but not much new to add to the genre.

Maltin*1/2: "Starts well, but becomes a boring suspenseless fantasy based on UFO mythology. As always, Simmons is welcome and completely plausible."
