My Rating:
My Review: Based upon an H.P. Lovecraft story, here is an excellent horror story - Re-Animation of the dead! One Herbert West (played by Jeffrey Combs) returns to the states after his studies in Switzerland come to a tragic end. He enlists Dan Cain (played by Bruce Abbott), a medical student in his insane scheme to resurrect the dead. The acting and direction (by Stuart Gordon - also directed From Beyond, The Pit and The Pendulum, Dagon) really bring this movie to 'life'. The visuals, dialogue, special effects and make-up were outstanding. The music (by Richard Band) was truly creepy, and the pacing excellent. The humor in this movie is far outweighed by the sheer terror and horror of the last 20 minutes. I give this over the top horror movie a 4 out of 5.

Summary: In the year 2045, the real world is a harsh place. The only time Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) truly feels alive is when he escapes to the OASIS, an immersive virtual universe where most of humanity spends their days. In the OASIS, you can go anywhere, do anything, be anyone-the only limits are your own imagination. The OASIS was created by the brilliant and eccentric James Halliday (Mark Rylance), who left his immense fortune and total control of the Oasis to the winner of a three-part contest he designed to find a worthy heir. When Wade conquers the first challenge of the reality-bending treasure hunt, he and his friends-aka the High Five-are hurled into a fantastical universe of discovery and danger to save the OASIS.

Summary: Classified "top secret" by the Navy and banished by the Department of Defense, RED CELL is the true account of a unit ~the government denies ever existed!

This film will let you decide for yourself whether the Navy was justified in disbanding Red Cell, or if it was just a "band aid" approach designed to stifle criticism of base security operations.
