Autumn leaves gently rustle in the October breeze as the days shorten, and the nights grow darker. It’s been three peaceful years since evil walked the streets in the sleepy town of Smithfield. Laurie Curtis and her family have finally put the nightmare of the mysterious masked villain behind them, and life has returned to normal…until tonight. While a raging storm is heading toward them, Laurie and her husband, Michael, attempt to enjoy a quiet dinner out with friends. At home, their favorite teenage babysitter keeps an eye on their precious children. The growing storm isn’t the only thing that threatens the safety of their home tonight. The sinister shape is back! The storm cuts off all access to the infamous Curtis house, and now the race is on to rescue the children and their sitter! Will faith conquer fear once again?

Once again, CSP delivers the perfect uplifting alternative to the typical secular Hollywood horror movie. Full of heart-pounding suspense and stunning 3D images, nothing will prepare you for the white-knuckle roller coaster ride that awaits you in Pray 3D: The Storm!

“The best way to describe Sweet Girl is that itu0026#39;s a fairly standard action-thriller thatu0026#39;s meant as a jab at the for-profit pharmaceutical industry.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eGenerally, it was kind of slow to start with when they were setting up the motivations for Jason Mamoau0026#39;s character. I feel like this could have been set up in half the time or less and most people would have been able to follow along and sympathise with his motivations.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt also doesnu0026#39;t help that, due to the limitations of the script and possibly the director, Momoa doesnu0026#39;t provide a good dramatic performance here. His strength is in the action sequences, which is where more focus needed to be.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI also feel like Sweet Girl would have benefited from just being played straight, without the twist in the last half-hour. That just felt a little cheap to me; as if the movie wanted to come off as being edgier than it really is. The thing is that twists like that havenu0026#39;t been edgy in at least fifteen years, and realistically, they havenu0026#39;t been edgy in more like twenty years. Today, theyu0026#39;re mostly just tacky and forced.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s kind of a shame that this movie is like this, because I think there is a good movie hidden away somewhere underneath all of this. Itu0026#39;s just that this was a kinda bland execution of a good idea.”
