In 1971, Carolyn and Roger Perron move their family into a dilapidated Rhode Island farmhouse and soon strange things start happening around it with escalating nightmarish terror. In desperation, Carolyn contacts the noted paranormal investigators, Ed and Lorraine Warren, to examine the house. What the Warrens discover is a whole area steeped in a satanic haunting that is now targeting the Perron family wherever they go. To stop this evil, the Warrens will have to call upon all their skills and spiritual strength to defeat this spectral menace at its source that threatens to destroy everyone involved. Directed by James Wan. This movie is Rated R for sequences of disturbing violence and terror.
Returning home to visit his father who is in intensive care at the hospital, Jeffrey Beaumont stumbles upon a human ear he finds in a field. With local police detective John Williams and the local police department unable or unwilling to do more than a cursory investigation, Jeffrey and Sandy, Detective Williams’s high-school-age daughter decide to do their own investigation. But Jeffrey and Sandy’s investigation leads them to discover that a dark underworld exists in their hometown. Jeffrey becomes suspicious of nightclub singer Dorothy Vallens, who is involved with Frank Booth, a violent and evil man, and what her involvement in the case might be. Directed by David Lynch. This movie is Rated R for adult situations/language, nudity, and violence.
In this film, based on Stephen King’s 1980 novel of the same name, Andrew McGee and Vicky Tomlinson met while earning money as guinea pigs for an experiment at college. The experiment was shrouded in suspicion and mystery, and seemed to be related to psychic abilities. The two were later married and had a daughter, Charlene, or “Charlie,” who can see the near future and also the power of pyrokinesis – the ability to start fires with her mind. Naturally, the government takes a great interest in Charlie, and operatives from the secret department known as “The Shop” want to quarantine and study her, and perhaps deploy her powers to their own nefarious ends. Directed by Mark Lester. This movie is rated R.
