THE NUN

As if the Catholic church didn't have enough image problems already, horror veteran Brian Yuzna comes back to give them one more bugaboo in THE NUN, a high-calibre horror romp that will make sure you never look at a nun the same way ever again.  So what we have here plotwise is, undoubtedly, every Catholic schoolgirl's worst nightmare--a psychopathic nun that comes back from the dead in water form to take out her former misbehaving students.   

DARK FIELDS

I don't believe I ever want to see the barrel that Lions Gate had to scrape the bottom of to dredge up this roaring suckfest.  So what we have here plotwise is now what you'd call much of a plot at all: a bunch of idiot kids with the collective intelligence of a jar of mayonnaise--an empty jar at that--can't seem to manage to get to a mindless rock concert, so they wind up getting attacked by a raging hillbilly instead.  Texas Chainsaw Knockoff, aisle two!

THE LEGEND OF LUCY KEYES

Okay, folks--it's October. This is prime time for horror flicks. We've got Halloween bare weeks away, and those early nights spent locked in the house aren't all that much farther off. Thus, what I'm gonna do for you is a godsend and a blessing--I'm gonna give you the line on one of the downright creepiest movies I've seen lately-- THE LEGEND OF LUCY KEYES.

SUPERSTITION

Anchor Bay Entertainment resurrects some fairly choice horror movie with SUPERSTITION, one among several in what looks like a long-term program for them.  So what we have here plotwise is an alcoholic priest and his family moving into a house on Mill Road.  The house has something of an unpleasant history to say the least, and not too far from the house, a witch was drowned.  Another priest, meanwhile, is staging an investigation into the house along with a cynical police detective--ostensibly because priests generally can't get search warrants.  So now we've got priests gone wild, houses gone crazy, and the weight of a church about to go up against the great haunted house phenomenon.
