![The Guardian [WS] [DVD] [2006]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/2e628c6d-69e9-496c-b898-dea6ad148649.jpg)

This was a great movie. However, the plot is too much like that of other movies. It's like a mix between Armageddon, Men of Honor, and The Perfect Storm. Kevin Costner was terrific, and it seems Ashton Kutcher is trying to become a real actor, comparable to his role in Butterfly Effect. (Maybe he's taking lessons from Demi.) This movie was for the US Coast Guard, obviously. It's too bad that only about 60% of the real US Coast Guard are like the ones in the movie. The rest are too busy riding around in speed boats trying to catch drug trafficers, while someone a mile away is drowning. The US Coast Guard should watch this and take note. This film also reminds me of the real life show Deadliest Catch. Those men risk their lives just as much, if not more, than the US Coast Guard. All in all, this was still a great movie, very entertaining with a great ending. I highly recommend it, (especially to sea lovers.) Also, if you like this film, The Perfect Storm and Men of Honor are great films too, if you haven't seen them by now.
What's great about it: Very intense and very dramatic.
What's not so great: The plot's been used in too many times.
I would recommend this to a friend!

My wife and I saw this film in the theater and again when the unrated version came to DVD. (Of course , the unrated was better.) We loved it both times. You know a horror movie's good when you watch it a second time and it still get's you. This movie is very creepy, very intense, and has a great twist at the end. The plot is great, very unique, and the acting was excellent. You couldn't ask for a better horror movie! I highly recommend it! Also, if you like this, you should definitely watch A Haunting in Connecticut!
What's great about it: Very creepy and very intense.
What's not so great: Couldn't find anything.

One of the best in the Masters of Horror series!

This was a really good movie, my wife and I loved it! We're big fans of movies like The Grudge and The Ring, and this movie's right up there. In fact, the plot's like a mix between What Lies Beneath and The Grudge. Plus, this is actually a full length film (around 90 min.), unlike most of the Masters of Horror films which are about 60 minutes. It's really creepy and has some good jumpy scenes. I highly recommend it! I also recommend buying both seasons of the Masters of Horror collection as a whole, they're cheaper that way. But, if your buying them seperately, a few more I can recommend are Imprint, The Fair Haired Child, and Cigarette Burns.
What's great about it: One of the few that are over an hour.
What's not so great: Couldn't find anything.

The Black Cat is a fantastical tale based on the life of one of the most prolific literary icons in history. Directed by the legendary Stuart Gordon, this film is a gut-wrenching, soon-to-be horror classic. A stunning mix of eloquent beauty, cringe-inducing horror, pristine cinematography and dynamic performances makes this macabre masterpiece one of the most anticipated releases in the Masters of Horror library.

This is one of the best in the Masters of Horror collection. My wife and I loved it! It's directed by Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator, From Beyond), starring Jeffrey Combs (Re-Animator, From Beyond), and based on a short story by Edgar Allen Poe. You can't go wrong! Very intriguing and twisted plot, I highly recommend it! Also, if you're a fan of Stuart Gordon and Jeffrey Combs, you may also want to check out Edmond, Castle Freak and Dreams in the Witch-House (this one's also a part of the Masters of Horror series).
What's great about it: Stuart Gordon and Jeffrey Combs.
What's not so great: Only an hour long.

This is one of the best in the Masters of Horror series. One of my wife and I's favorites! It's directed by Mick Garris (Critters 2 and Psycho 4), based on a short story by Clive Barker (HeIIraiser, Candyman, and Nightbreed), and stars Tony Todd (Candyman) and Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future). This is a very twisted and intriguing plot, as you would expect from Clive Barker. I highly recommend it! Also, I recommend buying both seasons of the Masters of Horror collection as a whole, they're cheaper that way. But, if you're buying them seperately, a few I can recommend are Cigarette Burns, Dream Cruise and Haeckel's Tale (also based on a Clive Barker short story).
What's great about it: Clive Barker!
What's not so great: Only an hour long.

![Masters of Horror: Cigarette Burns [DVD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/304b2327-370a-41e7-956a-951dd4939472.png)
Showtime's Masters of Horror series comes to DVD with this release featuring John Carpenter's celebrated entry Cigarette Burns. Presented in its original anamorphic 1.77:1 widescreen image, the hour-long feature has been lovingly transferred to DVD by Anchor Bay and packed with loads of extras for the genre viewer to feast upon (no doubt making up for the price point for the inclusion of just one episode). In horror circles, it's no secret that Carpenter delivers some of the most widely debated commentaries of all his peers. While some find his ramblings the product of a cranky, elder filmmaker, they tend to lose sight of just how much information he usually injects into these tracks. 2006 finds him even more comically irritable in his older years, though his thoughts in both the commentary and interview segments are insightful to his love for the film and the man himself, who always seems like he'd just rather watch basketball in his sweats than get behind the camera again. Another commentary that sheds a bit more light on the director comes with the writers' track from Drew McWeeny and Scott Swan, who discuss their excitement at working on the project and how Carpenter helped them reshape their script into something much more terrifying than what it started out as. Other extras include a behind-the-scenes montage as well as an interview with lead actor Norman Reedus. Also included are two 18-minute featurettes that focus on those that have worked with the director in the past as well as a one-on-one Carpenter interview that quizzically ends with his statement that most everything to do with Masters of Horror is unhealthy for those involved. Trailers for the rest of the series' first season are included as well, making this release truly one to look out for in this groundbreaking test of cable programming.

This is definitely one of the best films from the Masters of Horror series. My wife and I loved it! It has a great plot, very intriguing. I have all of the Masters of Horror films and most of them are one hour long. This is one I wish was longer, but don't get me wrong, it's powerful for a one hour movie. John Carpenter is at his best. There's also some great actors as well. All around a great movie, I highly recommend it! Also, I recommend buying both seasons of the Masters of Horror collection as a whole, they're cheaper that way. But, if you're buying them seperately, a few I would recommend are Valerie on the Stairs, The Fair Haired Child, and The Black Cat.
What's great about it: John Carpenter.

This was actully a really good movie, my wife and I loved it! I personally like horror/ westerns, there's only a few and are usually pretty good. This film actually has quite a few actors that aren't big names, but have been secondary actors in a lot of big movies. The special effects and creature effects are very good. This is not a 'B' movie, it just wasn't big enough to go to theaters. If you're a movie buff like myself and are tired of the endless sea of hit or miss movies that go straight to DVD, then you need to get this movie, it's a hit. This is a great creature feature with a neat plot and is fun to watch. I highly recommend it! Also, if you like horror/ westerns, you should checkout Dead Birds.
What's great about it: Unique creature feature.
What's not so great: Couldn't find anything.

This is one of my wife and I's favorite sci-fi thrillers! This movie is captivating and gets better everytime I watch it. The plot is amazing and very complex. The acting was terrific and the cinematography is fantastic, very dream like. This is a very unique film. In fact, in most of my reviews I try to compare a film to something similar or recommend a film that's a lot like it. In this case, I'm stumped. And for a collector, like myself, with roughly 2,000 DVDs, that says a lot. The closest I can come would be the Cube series, but that's still a ways off. You just need to see this movie for yourself. A definite must own! I highly recommend it!
What's great about it: The plot, the acting, the imagery, everything!
What's not so great: Couldn't find anything.

This was actually a pretty good movie, better than my wife and I thought it would be. I'm also a huge Henry Rollins fan and I loved his role as a preacher in this, it's hilarious! However, I've seen better roles by Cuba Gooding Jr., he just seemed rather bland in this, (maybe it's just me.) Also, Ron Pearlman's in it, along with a few other good actors, including Bill Moseley. The plot isn't what you think it is. It's like a mix between Red Sands, The Prophecy, and 28 Days Later. I thought the ending was a little weak, but over all a decent movie. I definitely recommend it!
What's great about it: Henry Rollins.

This movie had potential, but was horribly done. I gave it two stars instead of one only because I thought the plot was decent. The idea of a family of cannibals is pretty good, they just went about it the wrong way. The acting was just flat out terrible! I think they just grabbed some people off the street and told them to read a cue card. (I could've done a better acting job than they did.) Then again, Italians have always been known more for their gore, not their acting. And it was really gory (I love a good gore flick), but was cheaply done. Talk about low budget, I think they made this film for about $500. All around just a terrible movie! Let me make some suggestions. If you want a good gory Italian film, check out Cat in the Brain or anything by Dario Argento, (I love all of his films.) If you want a good cannibal movie, I have a few, try Dying Breed, Tooth and Nail, Welcome to the Jungle, or the notoriously popular Cannibal Holocaust. So, take Last House in the Woods out of you cart, place it back on the shelf, and get one of these other fine movies I've recommended.
What's great about it: Alot of gore.
What's not so great: Everything else.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
