Dorothy Mills

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...

Don’t Turn Around

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...

Don’t Torture A Duckling

Don’t Torture A Duckling

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...

Don’t Look Up

Don’t Look Up

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,...

Don’t Look Now

Don’t Look Now

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...

Don’t Let Him In

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...

Donkey Punch

Donkey Punch

For those who have led sheltered lives and wouldn’t dream of indulging in anything more daring than the good old missionary position, a “donkey punch” is a sexual kink not as outright gross as “tarmaccing” but more morally questionable than, say, snowballing. If you...

The Doors

The Doors

This one came in without any background information whatsoever; just a DVD-R with The Doors written on it, slipped into a paper envelope. There’s not much online either. So, I guess we’ll just have to watch it to find out what it’s all about… “This is a story of how...

Doomsday

Doomsday

Crowd-pleasing comic werewolf movie DOG SOLDIERS and uber-terrifying claustrophobia-fest THE DESCENT were always going to be tough acts to follow, and for his third feature, writer/director Neil Marshall, armed for the first time with a sizable budget courtesy of...

DOOM (DVD)

DOOM (DVD)

It's 5:27 am and I just finished watching the "DOOM" DVD and felt compelled to write a quick review. Why? Because much to my surprise despite some ridiculousness I thought it was pretty damn entertaining! I didn't see it in the theater but now wish I had which I...

Donnie Darko

Donnie Darko

One of the best films I have seen in the past decade is now ten years old and is once again available on Blu-ray.. I will admit the first time I saw the DVD box cover for Donnie Darko I thought it was going to be just another sub-par horror film that was going to be...
