Considering The Girl Next Door is the sophomore directorial effort by Gregory Wilson, and the first feature-length script by one of its co-writers, Philip Nutman (the other pen, Daniel Farrands, having less than a handful of credits to his name, a majority of which...

Lest you wander into it expecting the relatively upbeat Elisha Cuthbert comedy, the title warns us of the origins of this particular GIRL NEXT DOOR. A “Based on a true story” title card also reminds us that Jack Ketchum’s devastating, scarring novel was inspired by...

An obvious quote on the back seems a little fishy. To claim that this makes SILENCE OF THE LAMBS look like BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S, something is cocky about it. Sure it’s a great ploy to lure you into the web, so we’ll go with that one. Hopefully its down right...

Ginger Snaps Back (The Beginning) is the prequel to the popular Canadian werewolf film "Ginger Snaps" which was a big hit. There is also a sequel "Ginger Snaps Unleashed" (Review) which was released earlier this year. Ginger Snaps Back takes us back into the time when...

Grant Harvey, producer of Ginger Snaps: Unleashed, fails to successfully add to the mythology of the Fitzgerald sister’s legacy. It is not that Harvey isn’t a sound director, but as a critical appraiser of scripts, he was unsuccessful at selecting a screenplay that...

I was a big fan of the first Ginger Snaps, and Ginger Snaps 2 is very similar in style as the first film, just a different story. It pretty much starts where it left off. Bridgette is now a werewolf but is injecting her self with the wolf bane to keep herself from...

Director Brett Sullivan continues the saga of the Fitzgerald sisters in Ginger Snaps: Unleashed, picking up where his predecessor left off: the infection of the surviving sister, Brigitte. Screenwriter Megan Martin wisely retains the original premises and themes while...

As I stated in my review of Wolfen, I have the utmost appreciation for the genre of werewolf films because, in ratio to the other fields within the realm of horror, the filmmakers of lycanthrope cinema seem to demand more meaning for their buck. Having constructed a...

The Giant Gila Monster was created as part of a double B-movie bill in 1959. As I stated in my lambasting of its counterpart, The Killer Shrews, some B-productions are enjoyable because of how poorly executed they are in most every conceivable aspect. Such movies,...

Here we go again. Yet another fine retro eighties classic from Camp Motion Pictures. This time it's Ghoul School, which was not really released in the eighties but was probably filmed in the 1989 and then released in 1990. Still though it's got the same campy karma...

I've read some positive reviews about this film so when I heard of it's video release in Blockbuster, I figured I'd use my rental pass to check this one out. Well maybe the other horror reviewers on other sites saw something different than I did. Now I'm not going to...

Quite honestly, Chad Ferrin’s The Ghouls is one of those rare, sad pics which tries and tries but, for every (mis)step it takes, falls behind that much more. However, given the director’s humility, circumstances, and effort, we can forgive such a work since we cannot...

I never knew much about the Ghost Rider comic books when I was growing up as a kid; in fact I'm not even sure how old or how new of a character Ghost Rider is. But I must say that even though this film is vain of being very much like a high budget b-movie. I found the...

A hybrid between Roy Ward Baker’s Quatermass and the Pit and the director’s own urban Western, Assault on Precinct 13 (itself modeled after Howard Hawks’s Rio Bravo), John Carpenter gives us a his highly undervalued sci-fi horror Western that--in its assessment of...

What happens when you take the premise from the television show GHOST HUNTERS, replace Jay, Grant and the rest of the clan with annoying college kids and a ghost who wants her baby back. Well you get this generic horror ghost flick GHOSTS OF GOLDFIELD. Pretty much...
