After a documentary porno called Together, Sean Cunningham and Wes Craven perked up enough ears to garner an invitation to make a horror movie. In order to appease their financiers and move that much closer to a budget in which they could professionally operate, the...

It's good to see that there are some independent film makers out there, that can come up with good original ideas. The Last Horror Movie is fresh, and takes a different approach to horror with a documentary feel to it. Now it's not The Blair Witch style of filmmaking...

Julian Richards’s The Last Horror Movie is a poignant, postmodern psychological parable, wryly disguised as a black comedy. And, not to beat around the proverbial bush, is perhaps one of the greatest works of horror ever made. Max (Kevin Howarth, mixing the best of...

Originally released in 1982, THE LAST HORROR FILM is a movie that reunited Caroline Munro and Joe Spinell who were the leads in another cult horror flick called MANIAC which was produced in 1980. THE LAST HORROR FILM's original title was FANATIC and was actually shot...

The Exorcist is considered by many to be one of the scariest films of all time. It was a box office hit that eventually led to the question of whether demons really exist, and if so, can they possess the living? The film brought all of these questions to light, so...

I knew right from the beginning that "Last Exit" was in fact "not my kind of film". In fact the poor use of shots and shaky cam look got on my nerves from the get go. Maybe it's just me, but some of these indie films from overseas are really slow. I mean this felt...

"The Last Broadcast" was supposed to be the Blair Witch film that never made it to the screen. The fact of the matter was, that this film; The Last Broadcast was actually made before The Blair Witch Project. Blair Witch got lucky when it got picked up by Artisan. Last...

George Romero is already a legend to fans of his "Dead Trilogy". Often called "The Master" by the genre's faithful, he is an iconic figure. His newest addition is "Land of the Dead" and with it Romero has raised the bar so high that it almost seems silly for anybody...

The only thing the advance screener package for The Landlord told me about the project was that this is a blend of genres: “Horror/Comedy/Drama.” But seeing as how most of us can relate to a landlord in one way or another, the subject matter is certainly ripe for...

From the box art and trailer to LAKEVIEW TERRACE you might just push it off as another bad cop, psycho neighbor movie similar to all the other ones that came before it. Sure, the premise of the film comes off that way in it's promotions and trailers, but LAKEVIEW...

I can remember going to the movies in 1999 by myself and seeing Lake Placid in theaters. I remember it being one of the shortest feature films I've ever seen. The film was only eighty two minutes long. It was short, but it was straight to the point and for the most...

After cutting his teeth on the second and third installments of the Friday the 13th saga before rightfully descending into the depths of television direction, Steve Miner resurfaced (sorry) to make Lake Placid, a wry B-movie, replete with a 30-foot crocodile, cozily...

LAKE MUNGO, though a rare Antipodean entry into the canon, is the latest genre film to explore the notion of “found footage” horror. It would appear a mere coincidence that, in release terms, it emerges so soon after the thematically very similar PARANORMAL ACTIVITY :...

“Blood is thicker than water, and ours is thicker than most…” notes a demented Granma at one point in After Dark’s LAKE DEAD, this year’s thirtieth (is anyone counting?) variation on the HILLS HAVE EYES / WRONG TURN / TEXAS CHAINSAW theme. Like the recent, equally...

Ken Russell, famed British director responsible for such works as The Devils, Altered States, and Women in Love, for whatever reason, decided to drop this bomb based on Bram Stoker’s last novel by the same name. Now, it is common knowledge that H. P. Lovecraft was...
