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
Slasher – movie review
Oh boy, oh boy. Wow. What do you get when you cross Jason Voorhees with Fred Krueger and Leatherface (whose name is like Bubba or something, I forget)? You get this awful film which wants so terribly to be cool that it starts aping The Texas Chainsaw Massacre in the worst of ways. What do… Continue reading Slasher – 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
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
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
The Zombie Diaries – review
I am offering this as a warning – if you are over the first person hand-held video narratives then brother, this movie ain’t for you. This is that to the nines, and, frankly, I am fine with that. I get a laugh when people complain about this style and say they want it to end… Continue reading The Zombie Diaries – review
Survival of the Dead – review
For a long, long time director George Romero had the market cornered on zombie films. He was your one stop shop when it came to the living dead. That strangle hold seemed to weaken the years between Day of the Dead and Land of the Dead as other filmmakers, writers, and video game designers began… Continue reading Survival of the Dead – review
Halloween 2 (Rob Zombie) – review
I gotta admit, I feel for director Rob Zombie. He is a man put into a no-win situation. He loves directing, loves horror, and loves the original Halloween, and when he was offered a chance to update the franchise, put a new spin on it, and hopefully revive a franchise that had become a laughing… Continue reading Halloween 2 (Rob Zombie) – review
Blood Car – review
Dang, you would think I am out searching high and low for these dark comedies of late but, really I am not. Not intentionally. I guess it’s luck, maybe. In this case it was a film that a friend brought over for a movie night and it was a movie that turned out to be… Continue reading Blood Car – review
