Summer’s over and the countdown begins until my favorite holiday. Halloween is a staple holiday in the Midwest. Trees shed their orange and brown leaves, the smell of cinnamon apples, cider and bonfires linger through the air. While eerie winds rattle the windows each...

Many, to an equal number’s chagrin, consider Inferno Dario Argento’s masterwork. After issuing Suspiria, the first part of his “Three Mothers” trilogy--based upon Thomas De Quincey’s expansion of the myth of the Roman goddess Levana--in which he defeats the first of...

Masayuki Ochiai (Hypnosis) presents a socially relevant treatise upon the medical establishment while seizing upon modern-day fears in a narrative exploration upon human guilt with Infection. With the first installment in the “J-Horror Theater” series (equivalent to...

So, last week, I watched these free little short things on the Sundance Channel with Isabella Rossellini called GREEN PORNO. They’re all about how insects and spiders and sea creatures have the sex. Many of these are very violent, and some are downright...

It's no secret that I'm a huge fans of the INDIANA JONES films. If you read my reviews for the recent DVD set of the original trilogy you see that I loved all three films and that in my mind they are some of the most perfect action adventures films I have ever seen....

The third and what was thought to be the last of the Indiana Jones series, INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE, actually rounds out the whole trilogy and is the best filmed and scripted one of them all. Now I'll admit despite my better judgment that LAST CRUSADE is...

I first saw Temple of Doom in theaters when I was a about seven years old. I can remember all the things in the film that grossed me out then, the bug eating scene in the tribes hut, the famous dinner scene, and who can forget the room full of bugs. There is not one...

Harrison Ford was kind of a big deal when I was a kid, He was the action hero every kid wanted to be, Han Solo, and Indiana Jones were what every young kid playing make pretend with their friends would fight over who got to play one of these roles. My father...

With Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds set to hit theaters on August 21st, It would make sense for a new DVD and Blu-ray disc of the original film, The Inglorious Bastards to be released a few weeks before the start-studded film hits the cinema. The two films,...

A quirky, refreshingly witty take on the giant insect sub-genre, built around a fine comic performance by Chris Marquette as a deliciously sarcastic and asshole-ish slacker hero. He’s a loser office-drone whose idea of a clever chat-up line is to quote one of Hannibal...

Jack Pollexfen issues a low budget revenge thriller, noir, and horror film all rolled into one as Lon Chaney Jr. appears in yet another predominantly silent role. Unfortunately, the famed actor is the only reason to view this otherwise rote and complacent feature, and...

Ang Lee’s brave, self-serious psychological take on THE HULK a few years back for Universal made some money but is generally regarded as an unloved misfire, and it certainly didn’t leave many craving for further cinematic HULK adventures. Louis Leterrier, who made the...

on Coscarelli's Incident On and Off A Mountain Road, was the Masters of Horror Episode that interested me the most when I first go wind about the series. The character of the so called "Mountain man" and hid psychical appearance is what caught my eye. However the...

Of course being of sound mind and sturdy mental balance, I am equipped to handle most which is thrown at me in terms of cinematic offences. When I first witnessed Nacho Cerda’s Aftermath or Jorge’s Nekromatik, I was I was in awestruck with the use of necrophilias and...

Zack Snider’s 300 is a film that paved the way for more myth based film about the young days of human history. A time where gods like Zeus, Apollo and Poseidon were worshipped. Films such as 300 and Clash of the Titans did well in the box office and both received...
