The Uninvited movie trailer

The Uninvited comes from the same folks who produced The Ring and Disturbia. It looks to be a more traditional creepfest than the torture-laden horror films of late.

Win a copy of Joy Ride 2 on DVD

I happen to be a big fan of the first Joy Ride. I thought John Dahl, who also directed the unmistakably perfect gambling film Rounders, did a top-notch job with the overdone road movie genre. I’m disappointed that he hasn’t done more feature directing since Joy Ride. Steve Zahn, Paul Walker and Leelee Sobieski believably ….
