Taken 2 is a total hoot. Problem is, it’s not meant to be one.

While V/H/S is a wildly uneven ride, for those willing to take a seat on the rollercoaster the hypnotic horrors found within are undeniably worthy of discovery.

Wuthering Heights (2011)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - October 5th, 2012 - Four-Star Corner Movie Reviews

From the vast landscapes to the creases lurking at the corner of a person’s smile, all of it matters, the internal intricacies of the human condition revealed in visual layers that continually caught me by surprise.
