I remember being a young and impressionable young horror fan and ADORING the HALLOWEEN series. From Carpenter’s first, to the unnecessary sequel that captured my mind because it happened RIGHT after the first, to the third that was trying to do its own thing, and even to part four which tried to reinvigorate the… Continue reading Dreams of Halloween – Watching the ‘Ween Series

Daniel Isn’t Real – review
Horror has become a great place to examine and discuss a variety of topics such as mental health. Sure, you get a lot of dramas that talk about people’s declining mental health or issues with mental health, but you never quite get the same sort of desperate and scary look as you do with… Continue reading Daniel Isn’t Real – 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

11-11-11 Movie review UGH! That is my review of this film. Three letters, one word, one feeling – UGH!

Exit 33 – review
When you are younger it almost becomes second nature to envy and covet what other people have – success, love, perceived happiness, wealth, extravagance, friends, whatever – because you have not seen enough of the world or lived enough of life to know better.

Dawning–review
With the smaller indie horror films few things make me happier than a movie that knows its limitations. I have griped about this time and again but it never gets old with me – if you can’t afford to do something in your movie then just don’t do it. Don’t try to do something… Continue reading Dawning–review
Ninjas vs. Vampires–movie review
You know what, there are movies that I get to review that are hard to take seriously. Too often they are poorly made, have little imagination, and are often just space filler at video stores. I offer this though, NvsV is a rare exception that while not a movie I’d go out looking for… Continue reading Ninjas vs. Vampires–movie review
CROPSEY–movie review
It is a delicate bit of balancing that comes with making a documentary film. You have to serve the truth, the story, and the audience and all of it at once. As exciting as the truth is it is exciting often because of its subtlety, because of its delicacy, two things that films often… Continue reading CROPSEY–movie review
Fright Flick – movie review
Fright Flick - movie review It really is as I and a thousand other critics have said - if there is something hard to do it is the horror comedy. Filmmakers seem to do one element right and in so doing neglect the other and there are very, very few films that bridge the… Continue reading Fright Flick – movie review
