With a film titled Head Trauma, I was kind of skeptical as to how good of a film this would be. Well to be quite honest I'm very surprised that Head Trauma was not picked up by a bigger distribution label. My hats off to Heretic films for picking up, what I think is...

Heading Home was a film that was recommended to my by filmmaker/critic Jeremiah Kipp and Col. Scott Perry of The Colonel's Crypt. As of late it's been hard to review every single short film that's sent my way; so they usually sit on the "Need to Review" shelf for...

Heart Stopper is one of those films that was probably made with the fact that the filmmakers were going to try and push a theatrical release out of it. But then after pitching it around to a few companies they realized it was not good enough to get one. However the...

One reviewer noted that the sleeve of the UK edition states the film is one part Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining and one part Gore Verbinski’s The Ring. He is boggled with how the latter relates to the film at all. The back of my sleeve reads that Headhunter is...

MTI Video has picked themselves up a winner with this film. The Hazing is a great low budget horror film that has a feel of those straight to video films you used to rent during the 80's. God I miss VHS horror of the 80's. You can see real influence of such films as...

When you become a parent for the first time, you whole world seems to be turned upside down in a flash. It is not longer about you, it's always about the baby. One of the worst things that can happen to a parent is losing the baby during birth or shortly there after....

One should not expect a decent psychological horror film to come from the action director responsible for the likes of Speed or Twister. Predictably, Jan de Bont--with rookie screenwriter David Self in tow and without so much a giving the work a new title--uncouthly,...

Warning: The following is a literal “review” of Robert Wise’s The Haunting in that it contains spoilers. “You’re liable to have that shut door in your mind ripped right off it hinges.” --John Markway Second only to Henry James’s The Turn of the Screw, Shirley Jackon’s...

I knew, years before the film was even made, that there was going to be a film produced based on THE HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT. I saw the news stories and the rumors all over the web, and I was skeptical about the whole production, as I knew that the family on whose...

Teenage horror films are really becoming one half dozen of the other. And here is another one to add to the pile. while the film did more than double it's budget in the box office and catered to the teenage crowd with it's PG-13 rating. It is by no means a scary...

I must say I was a bit disappointed the way this film turned out, I really thought it was going to be just as good as "Pirates of the Caribbean", being a popular Disney ride and everything, The trailers looked very promising. Well I was wrong, "Pirates of the...

An even more fan boy-centric sequel to the slasher pastiche HATCHET, which was the breakthrough movie for a filmmaker who has since proven his versatility with different styles and approaches to genre films (SPIRAL, FROZEN). HATCHET II is an undeniably self-indulgent...

Though it premiered in England almost a year ago at London’s Fright fest event (in its uncut form), HATCHET has to wait until September before being officially unleashed on genre fans in cinemas across the UK and the US (with the latter territory losing some seconds...

“Remember: At the end of the day we’re not curing cancer, we’re just making life more entertaining before we get cancer,” so says writer/director Adam Green. Yet, with his sophomore effort, Hatchet, and its devastating new face of terror, Victor Crowley, a lot of...

Being as forthright as his feature, British auteur Richard Stanley’s Hardware is a true blooded post-apocalyptic cyberpunk cautionary tale which is as successful as it is a misfire. True to his name, Nomad (Carl McCoy)--roaming the post-apocalyptic radioactive...
