Gamer (2009)




In a future mind-controlling game, death row convicts are forced to battle in a 'Doom'-type environment.

Action-packed sci-fi thriller made in video game aesthetics and with a message, but basically just as mindless as the games it seems to critisize.

Maltin**1/2: "Neo-modern take on this premise is unexceptional in terms of plot but holds its own for techno-thriller devotees, upgrded by Hall an Butler's performances."

Dead Silence (2007)



A widower returns to his hometown to search for answers to his wife's murder, which may be linked to the ghost of a murdered ventriloquist

Nasty little shocker with a silly plot and no surprises.

Maltin **: "The creators of SAW fashioned this ho-hum horror chiller...While not as gratuitously gory as many contemporary horror films, it's annoyingly illogical and overly familiar."
