The creation and production of a prequel to one of the most successful films of all time, William Friedkin’s The Exorcist, due to Morgan Creek’s desire to exploit the genre--made evident in the production company’s insistence that its original director, Paul Schrader...

As I’ve said elsewhere, I first approached werewolf films with a bit of reluctancy considering that the subject matter didn’t innately pique my interest but, after watching a few of the more acclaimed works in the genre, I found most lycanthrope flicks to be...

After a sojourn in the U.S. for a predictably needless PUMPKINHEAD sequel, Brit horror filmmaker Jake West returns to home territory for DOGHOUSE, the latest in the post-SHAUN OF THE DEAD cycle of British comedy-horrors. Like so many of the pretenders to SHAUN’s...

Horror comedies over the past few years have been either dumbed down to pointless entertainment where the film is more stupid than funny. They poke fun at the clichés of the genre and don’t really offer anything better than Scary Movie did when it first came out more...

Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window is my favorite film of all time. So when I see a film with a similar plot to that of Hitchcock's masterpiece; I get really excited to check out if the film will be as good as Hitchcock's.. While Disturbia is not the masterpiece that Rear...

This has not been a very good year for the horror film. Two of the best horror-related films I have seen this year were more science fiction films with excellent horror elements that made them stand out from the pack in 2009. District 9 is one of those films. It’s a...

Alex Turner’s second short film, Disposal, is a scathing critique and black humor examination upon contemporary ethics. In truly Hitchcockian fashion, the director scrutinizes, no one, but two pairs of juxtaposed individuals and, as a consequence, the film’s tagline...

Finally someone has sent me and Indie horror film that I did not feel like 2 hours of my life was taken away from me. "Director's Cut" is an Indie film with style, it's got all the perks of a b-movie but does it in good taste. Of course it's got sex and drug use, but...

People are different in many ways, and it seems that if your not of the norm these days you get labeled very quickly. How many young girls want to be like Paris Hilton or Lindsey Lohan, buying the latest fashions and doing up hairstyles just be impressive to their...

Every year over 30,000 men, women and children are kidnapped. The majority are held for a ransom “between” $500.00 to 100 million dollars. Almost 70 percent of the total numbers of kidnappings that take place worldwide get resolved by paying the ransom amount. About...

While LAND OF THE DEAD (2005) was a smart, exciting movie in its own right, George A Romero has never belonged in the Hollywood system. Prior to making the slightly anonymous LAND for Universal, his mainstream, studio-backed work included the powerful but compromised...

Shoot the dead. Diary of the Dead follows a group of college kids as they’re in the midst of making a campy horror film in the woods when the dead come back to life and bloody havoc consumes the world. They ban together to simply ‘get out of there’ and film their...

You know, I appreciate a good attempt at making any independent film. It's hard when you don't have a big budget to make a halfway decent film. And this is the fact with "Devon's Ghost: The Legend of Bloody Boy". Now I can't say that this film was good, because I just...

"Devil's Pond" is more like a Lifetime Network original movie, It's the kind of film you'd enjoy watching with your girlfriend (If you got one), and not be bored with all the bullshit and sappiness as a drama. (If your a psycho boyfriend, don't rent this film it will...

I'm at a lost for words. Seriously I am. With all the hype that surrounded "The Devil's Reject's", you figured it would not live up to it, that the hype would just be a phase of good advertising and a lot of promoting. Well folks, "The Devil's Rejects" lives up to...
