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
The Prowler – a review
For horror fans the 1970s and ‘80s serve as a sort of wonderland of classic movies, a golden age if you will. A large reason why is that special effects really came into their own in this era and the MPAA had not clamped down yet on the gratuitous sex and violence. The movies thus… Continue reading The Prowler – a review
The Hills Run Red – movie review
As a movie nerd myself, I can appreciate the particular bit of madness that strikes people with a deep love and appreciation for movies. We are an odd breed, and we get weirder when we are horror nerds. I mean, you don’t really read or hear about comedy fans freaking out over a lost or… Continue reading The Hills Run Red – 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
All the Boys Love Mandy Lane – film review
All The Boys Love Mandy Lane Mandy Lane is a every high school boy’s dream – a shy teen who has finally blossomed but doesn’t seem to know it yet. She is a young woman who developed over the course of the summer and all the boys are noticing, to the chagrin of her best… Continue reading All the Boys Love Mandy Lane – film 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
ANTICHRIST – review
ANTICHRIST Well, if you can say anything about ANTICHRIST it is that it earns every ounce of its controversy. A bold, challenging, nihilistic, and hateful little thing, this is the sort of movie that movie elitists always claim they want but rarely embrace. Well, if you want a self-absorbed director exorcising some nasty personal demons… Continue reading ANTICHRIST – review
RUN BITCH RUN – movie review
RUN BITCH RUN The seventies were a weird time for movies. If the sixties were about freeing our souls, the seventies were about freeing our minds, and for many, they did this in movie theaters. Boundaries were broken, taboos were broken and the groundwork for many of the well regarded filmmakers of today was laid.… Continue reading RUN BITCH RUN – movie review
WATCH OUT – review
Watch Out How is it that you can watch something that is so depraved, so bizarre, and so disturbing that you almost loathe finishing it but, when you are watching the damned thing, like it so much that you can’t help but enjoy it? I don’t get it. I just don’t. Such was the quandary… Continue reading WATCH OUT – review
