During his time as a film critic, Masato Harada became known for being tyrannically demanding of the productions he critiqued and was equally strict in respect to what he believed constituted a good film. Of course, this is understandable when one learns that the...

In the Spider's Web is another title that is part of RHI Entertainment's Maneater DVD series and unlike Blood Monkey; In the Spider's Web was actually a Saturday night Sci-fi channel original movie. The film was also shot on location in Thailand just like Blood Monkey...

I was recently told by a friend of mine that someone actually started a petition to stop studios from giving Uwe Boll money to make movies. What a lot of people don't know is while his films don't do well in the U.S. box office, they do very well over seas. Such was...

Straight to DVD” carries a stigma that, in most cases, is not unwarranted. These films that never make their big screen debut are most likely either low-budget to the point of silly, boast a cast that nobody’s ever heard of, or they’re a third or fourth generation...

I don't know what to tell you people, but this might possibility be the worst horror film I have ever watched. Not only did I find it to be a pointless film with actors running away from ghosts in a cave, but about halfway though the DVD the sound cut out on me and...

Alright, here is an independent short that I agreed to review, because the website and trailer to this film looked very dam good. There is a problem however with this short and I'll get to that in a minute, but dam do we have ourselves one hell of a feature film...

The Insatiable is yet another vampire film that we can add to the list this year. However this film brings a different approach to the table and one can almost classify it as a dark vampire comedy. The difference between this one however and most vampire films, is...

With a title like INSANITARIUM you would think it's just another run of the mill insane asylum movie that has either a ghost story plot or a plot which involves crazies on the run. Well, it does involve crazies on the run, but it also has a Dr. Frankenstein kind of...

Jesse Metcalfe goes ape-shit in a hunky bare-chested kind of way in a family park, just so he can be incarcerated at the local nut-hatch. It’s all part of a bid to free his asylum-bound sis, who tried to kill herself back in the day after some family tragedy, and...

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...
