DRAG ME TO HELL is a horror film that fooled the studio. Bare with me here. I went into this film thinking that all the advanced positive reviews on the film were just coming from the fans who have a hard-on for Sam Raimi. For myself the trailer did the film no...

Lambert Hillyer, by way of suggestion from David O. Selznick, the man who gave us such masterpieces as The Third Man, Rebecca, Gone with the Wind, and King Kong, creates a strikingly cunning sequel to the original Dracula with the help of co-writer Garrett Fort who...

With The Curse of Frankenstein and Dracula (the latter retitled Horror of Dracula in America to avoid confusion with the Browning version, which was still playing in theaters twenty-seven years later) at the helm, director Terence Fisher created a series of films,...

Preface: The following assumes the reader has previously viewed the production’s American companion piece, Tod Browning’s Dracula, as the critique focuses upon which rendition of the narrative is more effective considering the history of the two films are inseparably...

I have always been a fan of Alfred Hitchcock films since my parents first showed me PSYCHO when I was kid. Back then I didn't appreciate it much, because mother's voice always scared the crap out of me. When I was in High School my cinema teacher reintroduced the...

To begin with, it seems that the only thing that anyone’s sure of in relation to this mysterious little film is that its script was penned by Ed Wood. Aside from that, the work itself goes by many titles, such as The Double Garden, Revenge of Doctor X, and Mad Doctor...

SYNOPSIS: Big, busty Chastity Knott must use her new, amazing abilities as the super-stacked, costumed crime fighter, the DOUBLE-D AVENGER, to stop villainous bikini bar owner Al Purplewood and his sexy, murderous strippers. Starring Kitten Natvidad (Russ Meyer’s...

Not quite a possession movie, nor a DON’T LOOK NOW-ish ghost movie, nor a SESSION 9 - inspired schizo horror, the commendably restrained DOROTHY MILLS takes elements of all three within an intelligently plotted screenplay that manages to unsettle without resorting to...

Hard working actor, director, producer, and writer Donald Farmer has tucked 22 films under his belt in a little over a decade. In this respect, he shares an affinity with his cinematic brethren, Edward D. Wood, Junior. However, there is a staunch difference between...

My god, what the hell are these people trying to do, send me to an early grave. I'm guessing people really don't read my submission requirements on the site, and it's obvious. "Don't Turn Around" is a film that was made by amateurs. It looks as if this film was shot...

After having created one of the charter installments in the giallo genre, A Lizard in a Woman’s Skin, Italian director Lucio Fulci follows with Don’t Torture a Duckling, a transitional work which succeeds in not only issuing a scathing critique upon several facets of...

I thought I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE was a great film. A savage film none the less but still a great venture. So why wouldn’t a film of the same director and producers be anything but better, if not the same? Well, this movie sucks huge ass. I mean it sucked so much ass I...

A much more generic and formulaic movie than you would expect or want from Fruit Chan, the director of the extraordinary DUMPLINGS element of THREE EXTREMES, this is a peculiar remake of the J-Horror GHOST ACTRESS. It is also cursed with one of those interchangeable,...

The power behind Don’t Look Now, a strangely fascinating, Dario Argento-esque giallo based on a novella by Daphne Du Maurier, lies in Nicolas Roeg’s ingenious implementation and utilization of red herrings, explicit as well as implicit, which he uses as a metaphor for...

When it comes to British horror films I either like them or I don’t. There is something about that pale format that is always used in British cinema and flat acting that always turns me off from many British made independent horror films. Then there are those that are...
