    Truly a Scary Ghost Story,OR Was It REEL ?

    The BRINK www.thunderheadstudios.com/brink A Ben Cooper film Starring Rachel Balzer and Mitch Toles Very scary film, Great acting and just looked good. Any project that uses Thomas Edison in a horror plot, Hey, where could they go wrong. There is be-headings, Multiple drownings and some truly shocking scenes. Script was by John Bowker and Cooper. Rachel Balzer is very good,Almost a Winona Ryder from Beetlejuice/Wednesday from the Munsters take. That Mitch Toles,He works a lot must be talented, Huh ! I keep looking on Ebay for one of these Edison " Talk To The Dead " phones, No luck yet. The shocker could be "HEY",Was this like Sam Raimi's Evil Dead or James Cameron's Titanic ?

    Watchable ghost/slasher flick.

    A back of my DVD proudly claims:a brilliant engineering student named Megan sets out to find the blueprints for the device that Thomas Edison completed right before his death;a device for talking to the dead.She assembles a group of friends to help her build it in a dilapidated house,never sharing with them the history of the building;a family brutally murdered one another within its walls years ago and they're just itching for a trip back to the other side.The device they put together allows that trip to happen and a very disturbed evil finds its way to our world."The Brink" is a watchable indie horror flick with some idiotic moments and pretty strong acting.The budget is tiny,the plot is routine and there is a minimal amount of blood.Worth a rental but nothing more.

    Four Dolts on a mission to do something really, really dumb.

    This movie sucked. There are these 4 college students (all relatively intelligent) who want to speak to the dead(apparently while Thomas Edison was inventing the phonograph and the light bulb, he also invented a machine to speak to the dead). Why do they want to speak to the dead? Who the hell knows. I say wait a few years...you'll get there, First they go to this horrible abandoned house, then the build the machine and then when it works the "fun" starts. For a horror movie to be worth the time there has to be either one of two things...good story, or lots of people to kill. Since this one had neither, I will say no more. If I could meet the director, I would say "Watched White Noise did we?" and slap him briskly across the face with a glove.
