(USA) In a tried-and-tested formula that has worked for Tom Hanks in Big and Jennifer Garner in 13 Going on 30, the same body switching plot device is used here again for 17 Again. Played by Hollywood heartthrob and High School Musical alum Zac Efron, he portrays the younger version of a man...
(USA) Welcome to “How-to-Reinvent-a-Horror-Film-101.” Take an ailing horror franchise known for its numerous lame sequels, give it an oh-so-original title instead of say, Friday the 13th Part 13, recycle the story of a disfigured killer with a hockey mask terrorizing teenagers camping...

(USA) Cross The Exorcist with The Omen, toss in an attractive female lead and you get The Unborn. Penned and directed by David S. Goyer, who was a scribe behind The Dark Knight, expectations are undoubtedly high behind this supernatural horror-thriller.
