Ya know, far be it for me, or any of us suckers lucky enough to get movies in the mail to review, to ever say that reviewing movies is a chore but, darn, sometimes it really is. Most of the time even the bad movies are watchably bad, and are at least amusing but once… Continue reading American Fetish – review

Star Crash
Ya know, as modern audiences we are pretty spoiled .Even the the worst and lowest budget movies can luck out and get some talented people to do special effects or computer work for them thus making the film look way better than it has a right to. Now we can turn on the worst of… Continue reading Star Crash
Catfish – review
Catfish There is one thing with film that other mediums don't quite have and that is the intimacy of certain films, especially documentaries. Until the past few years we accepted that a documentary was reality and while we may also accept that some of the moments in the film may be accentuated through editing or… Continue reading Catfish – review
Malevolence – review
Ah, the slasher sub-genre, the tried and true favorite of filmmakers young and old. The slasher film is the old war-horse of horror and is a staple that never goes out of style. The films get gorier, get more ridiculous, then dial back to the forebears and play more on creeps than blood but essentially… Continue reading Malevolence – review
Chronicles Of An Exorcism – review
Over the years of watching bad movies you start to get a little gunshy on checking new ones out. Shucks, and can you blame me or anyone else because of that? Hecks no. If it isn't seeing bad mainstream movies it's seeing bad indie ones and sometimes the worst are the ones that the world… Continue reading Chronicles Of An Exorcism – review

Taintlight – review
Taintlight – review So, it’s only fair to admit that I have never seen Twilight, nor have I read the books. Vampires don’t generally interest me but I will hand it to the writer and the creators of the film franchise that they definitely tapped into a hungry market. So, being that I have no… Continue reading Taintlight – review
Home Movie – review
Home Movie – review It isn’t a modern notion certainly, but there is something about modern technology which makes home movies seems all the more prevalent than they were in the past. Sure, sure, people made them before but now it’s so much easier to document the life and minutia of the modern family… Continue reading Home 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
Brain Dead – review
BRAIN DEAD - Review There are people that you come across in life that you get to know but then who just disappear as if they fell off the earth. Such is the case with some filmmakers who, after making a few films that get some notice they just sort of, well, disappear. Far too… Continue reading Brain Dead – review
Darkness – review
DARKNESS – review While it is true that famed horror director Lucio Fulci is long gone, the people he influenced are still very much alive and well. Such is the case with DARKNESS, a film that feels like a spiritual successor to Fulci's brand of dreamy horror where logic wasn't as important as the scares.… Continue reading Darkness – review
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
Buddha Boy – review
So I am onto the second of writer Kathe Koja’s Young Adult novels and man, she has totally opened my eyes to the category as far as its potential. I realize that people like S.E. Hinton were writing books that were slotted to this age range but to see what Koja is doing with her… Continue reading Buddha Boy – review
