Search: Starring Danielle Harris

While director Adam Green hasn’t really changed the formula at all for his sequel to 2006's retro slasher, he has tightened it up in every way to deliver a markedly more effective ride.

This is a film in which a great deal of running around translates into little by way of plot development.

This is inventive and fun. You can't ask for anything more.

Despite its undeniable ambition and good intentions, Stake Land is just too derivative to distinguish itself from its peers.

Hemphill takes this beyond the usual simple of equation of lust and loneliness to factor in the pair's changed circumstances and the impact that any decision would have on those around them.

It is hokum, pure and not-so-simple, executed with youthful zest.

It's a film with significant problems but as a first time effort it doesn't do too badly, and there are moments when it shines.

The Thornberrys are a cartoon, of course. Their animation is less important than their sense of humour.
