The Ruins
Two years ago I was sent Scott Smith's novel The Ruins to review, I also ran a giveaway on the site and gave away a few copies to readers from the site. I loved the book and praised the hell out of it. (Review Here). When I heard that the best selling novel was going...
Rubber
The high concept premise makes RUBBER sound like a uniquely pared-down variation on supernaturally hostile car movies like THE CAR and CHRISTINE. The range of juicy (and wonderful) exploding heads suggest an 80’s-infused splatter comedy. Truth is, this distinctive,...
Manhunt (Rovdyr)
Four attractive young people pick the wrong wooded area and time period (it’s the summer of 1974 - just don’t go out at all, guys!) to go hiking and wind up sadistically tormented and murdered by an anonymous, silent group of local lunatics in this commendable,...
Rottweiler
Take one rottweiler, beat it into a bloody pulp, resurrect it with mechanical parts, and what do you get? A dose of awesomeness, for sure—but more specifically, Brain Yuzna’s (he of Bride of Re-Animator, Beyond Re-Animator, Return of the Living Dead 3, and The Dentist...
Rotten Shaolin Zombies
This over the top short film pokes fun at horror and kung-fu films. I loved every second of it. On a low budget scale it's pretty good, the gore and effects are not that bad, but they are very over the top. It's hard to explain how funny the film is, some people might...
R.O.T. (Reunion of Terror)
According to the Production Notes included on the DVD for ROT: REUNION OF TERROR, this film took six years of blood, sweat, and weather-related mishaps to come to fruition. Also, the Making Of featurette actually shows some of the movie’s many roadblocks—engine fires,...
Rosemary’s Baby
Roman Polanski’s first American film (the second part of his apartment trilogy, including Repulsion and The Tenant), Rosemary’s Baby, is arguably one of three (George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead and Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho being the others), cinematic works of...
Room 6
I have only one thing to say, thank god I watched this film after I got surgery on my back. Because I hate going to the doctor as it is, and this film is all about hospitals and evil doctors and nurses. Probably not the best film to watch if your going to be spending...
Roman
Every review that I have read from other web critics is that they all had very good things to say about Roman. Roman is the brain child of a fancy little duo that has worked together all to well in the past; Luck McKee and Angela Bettis. This time however the roles...
Roman
Much like Tim Burton and Danny Elfman, Matt Damon and Ben Afflack, Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro, David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti, the name of Lucky McKee is synonymous with Angela Bettis (and vice versa). In 2002 the duo sent shockwaves through, not only...
Rogue
When I first got the press release for ROGUE, the first thought that came to my mind was "Great! Another killer crocodile movie". There are so many of them out there, and lets face it folks, the majority of them are terrible. But then I saw that it was from director...
Rogue
Writer / producer / director McLean confirms himself as an intelligent genre filmmaker with his second feature - following WOLF CREEK - ROGUE, a believable, heart-pounding tense and unusually well crafted nature-amok flick that would have made a great big-screen genre...
Roger Corman Collection: Vampires, Mummies & Monsters
Roger Corman is said never to have made a film that did not make money. He is considered by some to be the most successful filmmaker of all time. He is mainly known for directing and producing low-budget B-movies, horror and sci-fi. The newest DVD from Shout Factory...
The Rockville Slayer
I will say one good positive thing about this film. It was marketed so well, that I thought I was in for a real independent treat. However when I popped this bad boy into my DVD player I found myself more interested in playing with my surround sound system thinking...
Robot Monster
Like a Shakespearian fool, Phil Tucker’s B-movie masterpiece mumbles hard truths at every turn, the foremost of which is . . . to put it bluntly . . . humanity’s doomed. “Yikes” indeed! But hey, the good news is the ride there is a helluva lotta fun! A German doctor,...
