If I remember correctly; and it has been many years since I've seen it, the original Hitcher film was not only better than this remake, but it was actually somewhat scary and suspenseful. I'm sorry but this film was not; At all! Yes it was entertaining and even...

Academia tells us that art--for lack of a better word--allies itself with life, it helps us to make sense of the ambiguities which perpetually surround us, the trademark example being the musician inserting the beat which thereby makes the bird’s song perfect. Thus,...

A curious combination of arty mind-fuck and blackly comic horror movie, with sexy Laura Breckenridge clad throughout in an array of figure-hugging, often soaked / sweaty / muddy / bloody tight vest-tops. She’s a college student who makes the mistake of driving home...

With the rehash of FRIDAY THE 13TH weeks away from hitting the big screen there is going to be more Jason mayhem and madness than ever. Starz along with Anchor Bay Entertainment has put together one of the best documentaries about the franchise which includes...

I honestly don't know how a screener copy of this film arrived on my front doorstep. Yesterday (Oct. 8th, 2004) I just got a e-mail from a media company I deal with announcing it's limited theatrical release. Needless to say, I'm kind of happy I got the screener if...

David Schow did the script for this engaging, self-referential modern slasher - perhaps explaining the nasty edge and the fact that Warner Premiere (who made it in under their Dark Castle banner) are thus far refusing to unleash the Unrated cut of which Dave Parker...

Well there is some good news and bad news about The Hills Have Eyes Part 2, the good news is that it's better than the original Hills Have Eyes Part 2 (1985), and we don't have a dog flash back scene. The bad news is that it was a bad movie. The Hills Have Eyes Part 2...

I think Hills Have Eyes has broken a record—it’s the first remake that not only kicks the ass of its predecessor, but crucifies it, cuts its intestines out, and lights it on fire, too! “Blasphemy!” you cry? No one can scream that heretical word louder than me when the...

There is just something about the fact that when a baby is involved in a horror film and is the main focus of the whole film that does not sit well with me. The thought of having your child kidnapped from you just so that someone else would eat your fist born, man the...

Do you know what is funny about Wes Craven’s The Hills Have Eyes? Is that most people praise it as a great horror film. Personally, I don’t agree. Dare I say I liked the 2006 remake better than the original? Well I do. The Hills Have Eyes follows the Carters, a family...

Since we have this new wave of zombie fetishism in the mainstream with the new Dawn and the comedic Shaun, a few underground fan favs would soon circulate in the underground. To get to my point, I’m talking about The Asylum studios comedy zombie fest HIDE AND CREEP....

In its fourth year, the After Dark Horrorfest has given many independent horror films a chance to shine as part of a movement to showcase the genre at its best. Although the films are flawed, the one thing that the 8 films do have in common each year is how wide the...
