Smiling Woman – short film review

I have loved movies since I was a kid. I grew up watching Disney on the television, and then Abbott & Costello and when I could go to the movies I was a student of everything I could devour. I really started to find what flavors best suited my palette though as a teenager and… Continue reading Smiling Woman – short film review

The Burning Roots

I think I started writing about the witch trees in the early 2000s. I am not sure what made me come up with them, the idea of trees that were a sort of witch's coven but far more powerful Far more dangerous. They were creatures, not of earth but part of a larger, darker picture… Continue reading The Burning Roots

THE FIELDS – Movie Review

THE FIELDS – Movie Review Childhood, for many, is a magical time full of laughter and games and time spent playing with friends, but for some childhood is no refuge from the stresses and terrors of adult life. Such is the case with the young boy in THE FIELDS, whose mother and father are embroiled… Continue reading THE FIELDS – Movie Review

KIDNAPPED – review

   For some reason I am inherently drawn to movies that people say are ‘brutal’. Not the ones that are just gore for the sake of gore because that was done in the ‘80’s and then more realistically in the ‘90’s. I mean the movies that supposed screw with your head because they are so… Continue reading KIDNAPPED – review

SUMMER OF MASSACRE – review

­Summer of Massacre           Ok, now I have seen everything.  It took a while but we finally got a horror movie trying to be Sin City.  Sort of.  The charm of Sin City though lay with its characters that they all intersected and interacted and lived in the backdrop of a surreal city where reality… Continue reading SUMMER OF MASSACRE – review

Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark: Blackwood’s Guide to Dangerous Fairies – REVIEW

   EEE! I love books like this.  The strange tie in books you never hear about but which add a layer to another work, like a film.  I had a similar experience with the Blair Witch books that came out.  Books that created another layer of creep to an already scary story.  Here we have… Continue reading Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark: Blackwood’s Guide to Dangerous Fairies – REVIEW

The Blind Dead Collection – review

The Blind Dead Collection – movie review/s             For us horror nerds there’s something wonderful about the undiscovered country of foreign and underground horror.  It’s the fact that this stuff isn’t in the mainstream that makes it so cool and desirable.  Even the bad stuff is lauded because it is different and unknown.  Such is… Continue reading The Blind Dead Collection – review

Paranormal Activity – Chronology – REVIEW

So here's the deal, I am a huge Paranormal Activity fan. I appreciate that the series has become the bane of existence for the hardcore horror fans and that for many it's further evidence of the infection of sequels that plagues Hollywood but, well, I don't care. The movies are fun, are scary, and have something… Continue reading Paranormal Activity – Chronology – REVIEW

The Hide – movie review

The Hide – review The thriller is a tricky genre.  You see, in many ways it is a horror film but it’s just that the horror is based wholly in the real, wholly in the concrete.  There is a sense of dread but not fear, but there is also a distinct sense of mystery because… Continue reading The Hide – movie review

Bite Marks–review

   Oh vampires, you are so darned popular these days it’s sickening.  I realize that you guys are hip, and have that whole danger aspect that the kids love these days but darn it I really need you guys to lay low for a while.  It’s just too much.  Give the other monsters a chance,… Continue reading Bite Marks–review

George–A Zombie Intervention – review

George – A Zombie Intervention - review Ya know, I love zombies as much, no, more than the next guy but man, I tell you what, they are starting to get like vampires – which is to say that they are overexposed. The good thing is that zombies are still pretty interesting, and there are… Continue reading George–A Zombie Intervention – review

i-Crime – Movie review

i-Crime              Oh dear, oh dear. Sometimes you just watch a movie and wonder if the people who made it knew what it was they were making. Ya wonder if anyone ever had a moment during filming where they realized, geez, I think we’re missing our target. You know, like if you were making a… Continue reading i-Crime – Movie review

Just A Little Old Thing

So after grinding my teeth after first hearing that some mad fool was going to remake one my all time favorite movies THE THING I was pushed by sheer curiosity to go see the film. What had first been said to be a remake was in fact a prequel to the seminal Carpenter film, something… Continue reading Just A Little Old Thing
