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...

I've learned a long time ago that you can never judge a film by it's trailer, simply because trailers consist of all the good parts of the film and never the bad. LAID TO REST had a great trailer, so I was a bit skeptical about how great of a film it was going to be....

When I was a child, I could not stand the film Labyrinth. Although my sisters loved it, and I tried a dozen or so times to watch it, I just could not get through the whole thing. Now, about twenty years later, not only did I watch the whole movie, but I found myself...

A few years ago the only reason why I would get up before nine thirty on on a Saturday morning was because at ten o'clock the Sci-fi channel would play an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000. As a young kid I used to watch it on channel 13, then it was suddenly...

I don't know what to say, I am simply blown away by all three films that indie film director Christopher Allan Broadstone send my way. You my friend are a fucking genius and should be making films for a studio. Some might say that I am a bit easy towards indie...

Bruce Campbell is a horror icon who won over horror fans as the coward turned hero Ash in the EVIL DEAD films. Recently he can be seen on the USA network in the series BURN NOTICE as well as in some Sci-fi channel original movies. Sure he had his cameo appearances in...
