The Unwanted (2014)

A young woman visits a small town trying to find out details about her mother's disappearance.

'The Unwanted' is a dramatic film that promises horror without delivering anything but suggestions of it. It's low budget, and the quality leaves a lot to be desired and even the presence of the expressive Hannah Fierman does not improve things.

Director:  Bret Wood      

With: Hannah Fierman, Christen Orr, William Katt, Lynn Talley

Rating: 5/10

Siren (2016)

A bachelor party takes an unexpected turn when the organizer chooses to take a risk with an obscure place, hidden in the middle of nowhere.

'Siren' is a horror thriller with and about mythical monsters. The present monster is a siren, as irresistible and enticing as the legends say, with a little more gore, and even the presence of several more supernatural beings, à la X-Men. The film has potential with a rather complex and credible story, but is at a disatvantage due to the small budget, and the lack of actors with a better presence (the main protagonists, including the siren-actress, are doing well enough, but they are not the source of most of the dialogue). In short: satisfying and fun enough.

Director:  Gregg Bishop       

With: Chase Williamson, Hannah Fierman, Justin Welborn, Hayes Mercure

Creepshow (2019– )

An anthology series that tells horror stories as if they were articles in a magazine called Creepshow, all introduced by the Creepshow ghoul.

The Creepshow TV show is a revival of the 80's movie series, with new scripts, way more modern special effects, and the irreplaceable dark humor. Each episode has 2 separate halfs, each a horror short film on effect. The subjects are varied, original and imbibed with new and modern blood, the guest stars are surprising, the quality varies, but the entertainment is guaranteed.

Director:  Greg Nicotero and others   

Production:  Shudder      

Duration:  3 seasons of 5-6 episodes (44 minutes each)   

With: Justin Long, Ryan Kwanten, Ali Larter, Ethan Embry, Bruce Davison, Anna Camp, Adrienne Barbeau, Hannah Fierman

Rating: 8/10
