Review: Familiar

“Familiar,” the new short film written and directed by Richard Powell is the stuff nightmares are made of. Since the entire piece is only 23 minutes long, I won’t delve into the story all that much. That being said, I can tell you that it starts with a character...

Review: The Devil Inside

This is a film that had so much potential. I was so involved with it even though it centers on exorcism, which is a religious tradition (lack of a better word). When I watch horror movies that have exorcisms in it, I get excited because those are really hard...

Review: Halloween 2

Many of today’s horror flicks are all about the gore, less about the story and characters. Rob Zombie’s Halloween 2 delves into every aspect a great, stand-the-test-of-time horror flick should delve into—all of it—interesting characters, intriguing story line, gore, brutality, varied emotions, paranoia, psychological turmoil, and most importantly, fear....

Review: Trial By Self

Any film that opens with a quote from Agamemnon is bound to be an unusual one. ‘Trial by Self’ will not disappoint in this respect. However, if you are expecting a high octane bloodbath that moves at a machine gun pace or require that a film have polished production...

Review: Cabin In The Woods

This movie puts a whole new perspective on how a horror film can be made. I will do my best to talk about it without giving away too much. This is one of those films where you should literally not know anything about it outside of watching the trailer....

Review: Mondo Sacramento (Video Review)

Review: Creature

For a B horror film, this was actually a pretty cool film. Normally horror films that have a completely unknown cast (for the most part) and either have a limited theatrical run or go straight to DVD are terrible. That wasn’t the case for this. The acting was a...

Review: Gorotica

About fourteen years ago I was perusing around a local video store that catered to underground, cult and hard to find films on VHS. You see, DVD was just coming into vogue and I hadn’t yet purchased a player, although I did own a pretty hefty laserdisc collection. However,...

Review: Piranha 3D

I am not a fan of 3D movies. The first film I saw in 3D was Avatar because it was new and different. I have never been a fan of shit being thrown at me while I’m watching a movie. It takes the “movie-going” fun out of it for...

Review: Get Off My Porch

Sometimes during the day I don’t have time to watch an entire movie, so a little internet short can be really nice. If the film can also be a really fun horror comedy, that’s even more perfect. Now, there’s not a whole lot of story here, but that’s okay....
