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...

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...

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 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...

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...

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,...

A beautifully understated and haunting adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s unforgettable novel from the director of THE PROPOSITION, here handling even grimmer material with just as much skill and maturity. By coincidence, this movie emerges in cinemas the same month as...

Usually when I hear a wrestler is going to be in a horror film the thought of it kind of irks my spirit. With the exception of Rowdy Piper who is good in any kind of horror film and Kane in See No Evil; most horror films pretty much go no where when a wrestler is...

THE RIVERMAN is a bland and lazy made for television movie that has all the appeal of a dramatization from "America's Most Wanted." The movie never makes a statement or reason for the viewer to become invested in the main characters, which are based on the intense...

NGM Films, a low-budget film company based in Liverpool, is working on a feature film called Rising Evil, and, in an attempt to raise money for their feature film, they created a short film called, strangely enough, Rising Evil. According to NGM Films’ website and a...

It is often said that human being should not mess with things they don’t know about. That a true God does exist and unlocking his secrets would bring dire consequences to those who do. Such is the subject matter with a film like Rise of the Planet of the Apes. It is a...

The worst movie to date to emerge from Ghost House Pictures (who barely released it in theatres), this ponderously paced, distressingly overlong misfire looks vaguely promising in the first few minutes. Playing a high class call girl, the hot chick from POINT PLEASANT...

In many respects, Norio Tsuruta’s prequel to Hideo Nakata’s Ringu films trumps his predecessor as he provides a very coherent, though complex, elucidation of the figure of Sadako, the evil menace of the previous entries in the franchise. However, unlike the previous...

In the course of his follow-up to the most successful film in Japanese history, Hideo Nakata attempts to continue his narrative while expanding upon the genesis and phenomena found within Ringu. During the process, unable to maintain the many irons in which he has...

Director Hideo Nakata single-handedly kicked started the J-horror movement after making the highest grossing film in Japanese history, Ringu. By merely revamping the traditional ghost story, he subtly posits a renunciation of technology while successfully pulling the...
