Cobweb
It's... fine. Has it's moments of creepy, but mostly predicatable and overall just feels like the diet coke version of Evil Dead. A boy has a series of nightmare, fo voices talking to him in dreams and through the walls, uncovers some disturbing facts about his family.
Mercy Falls
Scottish film about a group fo friends in their 20s taking a hike into a remote woodland and befriend a stranger, a woman of roughly the same age, in this contrived slasher. The dialoguie ranges from the utterly dumb to the pretentiously dumb, the story is daft and the conclusion is weak to say the least, without even the hint of a twist or explaination. Really the whoie thing comes across as purely amatuer hour. Not much more to say about this one, sorry.

Apologies in advance for the brevity of these reviews. Was at the cinema yesterday, and the AD failed in 3 of the 4 films I sat through, the exception being Cobweeb, but as that was the last of what was a frustrating day. Barbie I had sat through before with AD so was just filling in time with this one, while The Blackening for the 3rd attrempt at 3 different screens at 2 different cinemas in 2 different cities - all of which were listed as being AD sessions (in fact every film I go to is listed as an AD session, but roughly am only getting approx 60% actually are, which is really getting frustrating - failed yet again. So, it's no surprise the AD failed yet again. Even still it annoyed me considerably. Besides, horror is not my genre of choice, but as the options for new films was very limited this week. :/
