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...

A cursory glance at this year’s horror movie release schedules could leave you thinking someone slipped something into your drink and caused you to travel back in time. Later in the year you’ll go back even further with the release of PIRANHA and LAST HOUSE ON THE...

The last time I saw the original My Bloody Valentine, I was a kid. To be honest, I barely remembered the film. I saw bits and pieces of it over the last few years on the now-defunct Monsters HD, but had yet to see the film in its entirety since the mid 1980s. I...

Holy shit man…………. I am not the same after this one. I went into it with an open mind (like the rest of the low budget genre) and came out confused and more tortured than ever before. Something of the magnitude should be more then just labeled with a warning. More a...

Directed by Nick Palumbo This is what it’s all about, right here. Anybody who’s ever haunted a video rental shop knows how disappointing it is to pick up some obscure horror flick that promises all the goods and only delivers 90 minutes of steaming boredom. And anyone...
