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. If you’re lucky, and wise, you generally get past that… Continue reading Exit 33 – review

Bloodlust Zombies – review
In the world of horror movies if you want to sell your movie and get some publicity then the two things you can do is invariably to make a zombie movie and then throw in an adult film actor as the star. Such is the case with Bloodlust Zombies, a movie high on EXCITED… Continue reading Bloodlust Zombies – review
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
Unthinkable – movie review
Unthinkable – review For a good many years the United States has lived beneath the shadow of What If, a shadow that became all the longer after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. This is a specter that has haunted the arts and media heavily but rarely do we get past the jingoism of… Continue reading Unthinkable – movie review
A Serbian Film – review
A Serbian Film – review Friends, there are some things you see that you can’t un-see. Movies you seek out which you can’t really explain why but which you need to see. For us horror fans there are a lot of movies like that. Horror movies lay on the borderlands of the film genre, ranging… Continue reading A Serbian Film – review
Rise of the Scarecrows – review
As a filmgoer and a reviewer it is rare, oh so rare, to find a film that speaks to the beauty of cinema and to the existential loneliness found in the soul of the philosopher who gazes into the well of forever and returns to tell the rest of the world what they have seen.… Continue reading Rise of the Scarecrows – review
Red Sands – review
The heck of the thing with Genie's (or Djinn if you wanna be correct about things) is that no one seems to get the poor fella's right. I mean, the closest that I can think of is maybe The Wishmaster, which, while not a good film or series, does do right by them, sorta. I… Continue reading Red Sands – review
Autopsy of the Dead – review
If there is a subject that should be rife with stories and ideal for a documentary, it should be Night of the Living Dead. This is single-handedly the most influential and important horror film made. Argue if you want to, that’s fine, but genre and sub-genre alike were born of this seed, as were the… Continue reading Autopsy of the Dead – review
Paranormal Entity – review
Oh dear, oh dear. The worst thing you can say about any movie that breaks away from the pack and tries to do something a little different is that if it’s at all successful it is immediately on the block to be mocked, or ripped, or both. Such is the case with Paranormal Activity, a… Continue reading Paranormal Entity – review
Someone’s Knocking At Your Door – review
You walk into a movie with a certain expectation when you see it advertised as The Most Depraved Film of the 21st Century. I mean, you know, you get your hopes up a little just as you are dreading what you’ll see. Alas, I have already seen films far more disturbing and weird, but, well,… Continue reading Someone’s Knocking At Your Door – review
