What can you honestly say about the new Madea movie? The fact of the matter is, there isn't much to say. Why Tyler Perry keeps cranking out the same movie over and over again with a different title is beyond me. Not to say that the film was a complete waste. It had many humorous and heart-wrenching moments. The only problem is, we've seen them all before. There is not a huge difference between this and Diary of a Mad Black Woman, Madea Goes to Jail, etc. It's a Tyler Perry move. You get what you came for. Do not go into this movie expecting anything but a low-brow comedy with a few dramatic scenes to balance out the humor. With a man of his talent, it's disappointing to see Perry cranking out the same old movies with the same old characters. I feel that if he really tried, he could go into totally new territory and amaze us all with his artistic talents, but until he moves beyond Madea and the same old plot elements, we may never know Tyler Perry's full capabilities. All in all, it was a funny and touching movie but it's been done before.

This is a Vincent Price film. What do you expect? This is equal parts cheesy and entertaining, like most of his films. The basic plot is quite simple. Whenever you are afraid, a creature within you appears. The only way to get rid of it is to scream. One such creature escapes and wreaks havoc on many people, particularly the people in a movie theater. No, this is not high art or a four star movie, but it does what it sets out to do. For the time, there were even some startling sequences, such as the nightmare sequence that had some color. All in all, this is a pretty cheesy and fun little movie that I would recommend renting. This movie was probably even more fun with the gimmicks in the theater where it felt like the tingler was crawling beneath you.

Of the three big slasher movies, this one, Halloween, and A Nightmare on Elm Street, this is by far the worst, and that's saying something, considering the other two ain't so great. This film is just plain awful. Painfully boring for the first part, it slips into unintentional comedy punctuated periodically by the least scary murder sequences you can imagine. How this became a supposed horror "classic" is way beyond me. I don't see how anyone could appreciate this film or even call it good cinema, which would imply this is art. The day this is considered art is the day the world ends. Worst of all, this film inspired a million other awful films. Thanks a lot you awful movie.
