First off, let me start this by explaining why I feel that See No Evil 2 meets the qualifications for a Hidden Gems addition.

Chassity’s Best/Worst of 2013

Worst Movies of 2013 Mama: Scary Movie 5 didn’t need to parody this film. It was a joke on its own. The Purge: I hate it when a trailer introduces me to a film with a very promising concept, but the actual film never really delivers. I was totally let down by this one.  Curse […]
