There are certain films that just seem to slip though the cracks, either because either the studios have no faith in the picture or they do not think the film can be marketed to a mass audience. Such is the case with this piece of noir cinema, which resembles elements...

Night of the Werewolf is one of those films that has a lot going on. The plot has a lot of character and little side plots that all twist together to make an action packed entertaining horror film. One thing I really appreciate about this DVD is the high quality...

Like I have said a few times before. It is hard to initially get into a vampire flick. Sure there is usually seductive woman exercising their bodacious bodies but that isn’t enough for me. I threw this in just to check out the first few minutes and whacked are we....

Dear North American Motion Pictures, Whatever deal or contract you have with director Ulli Lommel, please do us a favor and burn it. Seriously, when you give someone money to invest in one of your scripts, use the money to make a good movie that at least gives the...

Warning: The following is a literal “review” of George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead in that it contains spoilers. Issued during a time when the horrors of war were being broadcast live into our homes, confirming for American audiences for the first time since the...

Before Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!, and even a few scant years before Monty Python’s killer bunny that only a Holy Hand Grenade could stop, television Western director William Claxton gave us the furry monster to end all furry monsters with his adaptation of...

It's good to live in the past sometimes, really good. When I look back at all the direct to video horror films of my youth and teen years; and then look at all the shit that comes out on DVD now. I realize that I didn't have it so bad when it came to renting such...

A remake of Kevin S Tenney’s very likeable 80’s EVIL DEAD-riffing horror comedy that sticks to the basic format of the original and steals some key scenes. In the words of director Adam Gierasch (who last year gave us another New Orleans-set retro gore movie,...

Rachel Talalay (Tank Girl, Ghost in the Machine), production manager of A Nightmare on Elm Street (NOES) and its sequel, and producer of parts 3 and 4, makes her directorial debut with the closing chapter in the A Nightmare on Elm Street saga. The garbled work, much...

Prefatory note: Rumor has it that only half of Leslie Bohem’s (Dante’s Peak) script for A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child was retained and that William Wisher (The Terminator, The 13th Warrior, Exorcist: The Beginning) and David Schow (The Crow) did rewrites...

Co-screenwriters Brian Helgeland (L.A. Confidential, Mystic River Conspiracy Theory, The Order) and Jim Wheat (Pitch Black, The Fly II) got together and penned A Nightmare on Elm Street 5 (NOES 5). The film became the highest-grossing entry in the series, not because...

Director Chuck Russell (The Mask, The Blob) shares co-writing credits with Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, Frankenstein, The Blob, The Fly II) and series originator Wes Craven in an attempt to correct Jack Sholder’s cinematic atrocity known...

Director Jack Sholder and screenwriter David Chaskin create a flaccid, homoerotic horror sequel to Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street. Though conceptually intriguing, the work lacks focus and merely served as an excuse for the filmmakers to establish themselves as...

The latest Platinum Dunes remake, a year on from FRIDAY THE 13TH, is their weakest. It displays mild promise at the outset via an effectively eerie title sequence accompanied by Steve Jablosnky’s otherwise generic score offering a creepy appropriation of the...
