Brainjacked – review

Brainjacked Oh dear, there comes a time as a reviewer when you are push, push, pushed to the limit of what you can stand but you forge ahead, you push on because darn it, you have a job to do. I dunno though kids, lately, well lately I am feeling the weight of this hobby.… Continue reading Brainjacked – review

Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill! – review

Easter Bunny, Kill, Kill I am officially old. When I was a kid I would have gotten a kick out of a movie like this – gross, rude, and pulling no punches. Now though, well, I just need more. The fact is that this looks far too much like the movies my friends and I… Continue reading Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill! – review

Temptation – movie review

Wow am I over the vampire trend. Now, to be completely honest I have been ‘over’ it for a while, but jeepers, we are definitely in the doldrums of it now. I mean, we have all had to suffer through some terrible vampire films over the years, just as we suffered through bad slashers and… Continue reading Temptation – movie review

Babysitter Wanted – movie review

Well, isn’t this a nice palate cleanser after some pretty awful films I have been watching for review purposes. On first blush this reminded me quite a bit of a similarly themed babysitter film which I adore called House of the Devil but just when I was getting bummed out at how similar the two… Continue reading Babysitter Wanted – movie review

Werewolf – the Devil’s Hound – review

As a movie fan, and a nerdy one at that, the fun of it all is when you find those gems that have fallen between the cracks without ever getting the just due. You live for those films. Well, I wish I could tell you I had found one of those gems but, alas, that… Continue reading Werewolf – the Devil’s Hound – review

Sympathy – review

Sympathy, by first time director Andrew Moorman, is a very rare film in the indie ranks where a director takes a small budget and instead of trying to over-do things, he takes what he has and makes a solid film with it. It's admirable to see a young director accept the limitations he was given… Continue reading Sympathy – review

World’s Greatest Dad – review

Oh how I do love a good black comedy and, if you appreciate them as well you know that the blacker the better. There is something about comedy that takes it so close to pathos, to horror (and vice versa) that those are the places where some of the best humor lies. It isn’t that… Continue reading World’s Greatest Dad – review

REC 2 – review

Over the last couple of years there has been one horror film that really got to me and made a deep impact and that was the Spanish horror film Rec. Rec is a film done in a similar style as Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity in that it takes footage shot from the first… Continue reading REC 2 – review

Thirst – movie review

I don’t think it can be said that I am a big lover of vampires. To be honest, I feel like the sub-genre has gotten tired and played out. We are still stuck on the same romantic notions of vampires that Anne Rice gave us in her fiction and, while there have been some really… Continue reading Thirst – movie review

Pontypool – movie review

The sad fact of this film is that, as much as I will refrain from giving away any big plot details, I fear that you will learn far too much from any other sources you are going to seek out. Well, such as it is, I am sorry, as this is a film better left… Continue reading Pontypool – movie review

Seventh Moon – movie review

Seventh Moon If you want to see how different two societies are you need look no further than their films. Here is where you see the differences in myths, the different in culture, and you see how different each culture sees the world. It has been interesting through the years to see how Hollywood tries… Continue reading Seventh Moon – movie review

The House of the Devil – review

THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL It is an interesting trend in horror these days, the pull away from modernism and the move towards nostalgia. It is as if the '80s and '70s are hallowed horror ground where all the classic horror films were made. While I can appreciate a move towards realism and better film-making,… Continue reading The House of the Devil – review

THE POUGHKEEPSIE TAPES – review

THE POUGHKEEPSIE TAPES It has been some interesting movies I have seen of late, and this is definitely one of the ones that sticks out. A movie like, so many these days, serves as a faux-documentary, this is also a film that doesn't lean on that pole as a means to lie, but as a… Continue reading THE POUGHKEEPSIE TAPES – review
