One of many genre influences prevalent throughout OUTLANDER is John McTiernan’s peerless 80’s jungle action-horror fest PREDATOR, a fact that is immediately apparent from the very first scene of Howard McCain’s movie. The Moorwen, a dragon-ish creature designed by...

WOW! This has got to be one one of the best independent efforts I have ever seen. A film like this is the reason why I will never be easy on independent filmmakers, mainly because the budget for this movie was only fifteen thousand dollars, but looked like it was made...

You know that creepy guy in high school who's about the same age as you, but is very overweight, balding and looks like he's forty. You know, that guy, he wears flannel shirts, tries to act real smart, and smells like beer nuts and ass. That's who Otis the main...

Executive produced by Guillermo Del Toro, THE ORPHANAGE (EL ORFANATO) is a beautifully crafted, frightening and ultimately moving ghost story in which restless spirits provoke fear and solace in equal measures for the grieving members of the waking world. Punctuated...

So, when I saw the commercials and trailers for ORPHAN, I was pretty much already writing it off as another predictable “cute kid is evil” kind of thing. I mean really—how many different ways can movieland show us kids that start off all nicey-nice but, as time moves...

Based upon Ed Wood’s novel by the same name, Stephen C. Apostolof’s Orgy of the Dead is the director’s first film in a career of porn flicks. Though part of the Woodian canon, the work is sub par for even Ed in that it is almost utterly devoid of the inane dialogue...

With Opera, Dario Argento creates a psychosexual thriller which hosts one of the most memorable sequences of his career as well as issuing his trademark auteur use of color atop providing the viewer with a multitude of ideas upon sexuality and psychology as he...

Hans Horn sequel to Chris Kentis’s sleeper hit, Open Water, is a film which battles with itself, positing diametrically-opposed scenarios and sentiments while doing so in an equally perplexing technical manner. What remains is a cinematic dilution which leaves its...

Well first I'd like to go on the record as saying that "Open Water" is nothing like Jaws. In Jaws we have one big ass shark that's just a killing machine. In "Open Water" it's no just the sharks that are the killers it's the ocean, and everything in it. So if your...

For fear of committing horror sacrilege, Chris Kentis’s Open Water is more terrorizing than Steven Spielberg’s Jaws. This isn’t to say that the former is the better film for it lacks the aesthetic quality of Spielberg’s early masterpiece, but on a psychological level,...

Open House is the Directorial debut of Andrew Paquin, the older brother of actress Anna Paquin, who has a small role in the film. I usually get hesitant about the direct-to-DVD horror films that Lion Gates put out, mainly because the majority are usually not that...

Producers outnumber cast members in the opening titles of this lamer than lame remake of the 2003 Takashi Miike RINGU-variation - itself based on a novel and sequelised in its native Japan. You expect a movie like this to be peopled with wasted veterans (like Ray...

In the closing chapter of The Omen Trilogy, director Graham Baker brings the figure of Damien back into politics as his ascent to the Throne of Evil draws nearer. However, the film serves as a disappointing conclusion to a potentially thrilling premise atop numerous...
