Somebody must have seen. Somebody must have heard. Evidently, someone was crafty enough to actually do their homework & make a horror film which sets out to do exactly what a horror film … more
Eden Lake is pretty much your standard survival-against-the-odds fare. The only difference is that instead of the usual monster/alien/chainsaw wielding cannibal or hillbilly redneck this … more
I wish that we could give half stars when rating films because it would make life so much easier. Some films just fall into that netherland between a 3 and a 4 and SEVERANCE is one … more
I'd read so many favorable reviews on OTIS that I was prepared to enjoy a nice, twisted black comedy--perhaps something along the lines of THE RESURRECTED or even (dare I hope?) SLASHERS, but … more
*Please note, this reivew has been edited for content on 23 October 2009 at 12:57 EST. An open letter to the movie The Hills Run Red. Dear THRR, … more
My friend and I came into contact with Creep while browsing the racks at the video store. The art looked cool, the copy read well, so we went for it. She only watched it that one time. I took it home … more
I’ve seen the remake of Wes Craven's original and it was pretty good plus disturbing. Having seen my fair share of disturbing films like “Cannibal Holocaust.” After watching … more
TEETH is a satirical horror film that explores the mythology of vagina dentata (toothed vagina in latin), the myth created by men that plays on the fears of impotency. Supposedly, a "hero" … more

I was admittedly quite satisfied with Rob Zombie’s “Halloween” (I saw the director’s cut) remake a few years ago. It wasn’t as good as the original but Zombie … more
By now, everyone who has a remote interest in horror films has seen atleast one of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre films & knows of it's great importance in the horror genre. While the film may be tame … more

September 05, 2010
Those who remember the “Grindhouse Double-feature” in 2007 directed by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez may remember the fake trailer called “Machete”. Well, what began as … more
Neil Marshall’s “The Descent”(2005) was a ‘hyped up’ horror movie that was heavily praised in the U.K. even before it reached U.S. shores. I immediately found myself expecting … more
A typical 80s slasher with an unexpected twist would be a good start in trying to summarize Sleepaway Camp. If you can put up with an hour-long ennui, 20 minutes of enjoyment awaits. It is that hour-long … more
WARNING: This review contains spoilers! There are certain fundamental aspects of American culture in the 1980s that I found to be, for lack of a better word, repugnant. The crassness … more
I'm not a big fan of Barbra Streisand but I'm a big fan of some of the songs she sang. I've also seen some of her movies but frankly, not many of them are memorable as far as I'm concerned. … more
Buried is not a pleasant movie, but it is a truthful one. The scenario remains all too plausible, and the interactions onscreen speak to a world that, for better or worse, we all have to live in. That … more
When “Psycho” was first released in 1960, director Alfred Hitchcock took great pains to ensure the plot would remain unspoiled. He wouldn’t allow stars Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh … more

…Nope, this is not a review on the upcoming Ryan Reynolds “Green Lantern” flick but a review on “Buried”. Sorry!! There are three things that always … more
I remember seeing the posters for this one when my buddy Chris and were hanging out in Cali for the Weekend of Horrors horror con. I can't say I was thrilled at first when I hard the news although … more
The 1978 original film “I Spit On Your Grave” was a product of its generation. It was exploitive, bold, perhaps a little silly but it made its mark as the ultimate, infamous revenge/rape flick … more
**** out of **** Well, this is rather surprising; Darren Aronofsky directing a sports flick. How about that? So how well does this little stunt pull off? Well, I'll tell you, … more
**** out of **** The last time I saw a movie opening as cool as the one in "Buried" was when I looked upon the super-awesome opening to "Vacancy", which sadly lead to an ultimately … more
