Review: DRACULA UNTOLD

By Mark Saldana Rating: 2 (Out of 4 Stars) This movie claims to tell the spellbinding origin story of the most infamous vampire of horror legends.  In all of its attempts to tell this “untold” back-story, the movie doesn’t really cast much of a spell.  To its credit, the film has some appealing characters and… Continue reading Review: DRACULA UNTOLD

Review: THE JUDGE
