Masque of Red Death (1989)

Highlander: Endgame (2000)
Sep 3, 2000Immortal Combat
The fourth Highlander film sets out to merge the film and tv series, bringing together Christopher Lambert and Adrian Paul. This only produces a continuity nightmare where is a headache trying to make sense of it

Highlander: The Source (2007)
Sep 12, 2009Immortal Quest
The fifth of the Highlander films. It is hard to believe people could actually make a film worse than Highlander II but this is akin to Edward D. Wood Jr on a multi-million dollar budget
Wraiths of Roanoke (2007)
Apr 25, 2013Unsolved Mystery/ Malevolent Phantoms
B-budget Syfy Channel outing that attempts to answer the true-life Unsolved Mystery of the lost colony at Roanoke. Unfortunately, the film's answers are no more interesting than a bunch of Viking spirits, while the film generates little atmosphere or anything beyond rudimentary historical conviction
Nine Miles Down (2009)
May 20, 2011Possible Borehole Opened to Hell by a Mining Operation
Promising film about two people at a mine in the desert affected by what would appear to be the drill having dug all the way down to Hell. The film plays a corny idea seriously and sits in an interestingly ambiguous place about what is going on.
War of the Worlds: Goliath (2012)
Aug 23, 2015H.G. Wells Sequel/Steampunk Alternate History
Sequel to the H.G. Wells novel that imagines a fascinating alternate history that might have occurred following the Martian invasion. The clear appeal has been creating a series of scenes showing humanity tackling invading tripods in giant Steampunk manned robots
AE: Apocalypse Earth (2013)
Jan 19, 2014The Asylum Mockbuster/Planetary Adventure
Another of The Asylum's mockbusters, intended to come out the same time as M. Night Shyamalan's After Earth. This feels like a cheap planetary adventure that recycles Avatar and Planet of the Apes
