The Adventures of Long John Silver Audience Reviews

Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
