Skin Crawl
Skin Crawl is a film that's right up your ally if your a fan of the television series Dark Shadows. Unfortunately for this film, I could never stand the look of the show, nonetheless the stories that used to bore me so much as child. And they still do. Honestly the...
The Skeleton Key
Meh. That simple, single-syllable word repeated itself at least a hundred times during my viewing of “The Skeleton Key,” the latest in Hollywood’s line of PG-13 “atmosphere-over-gore” horror (or “psychological thriller”) films. “Key” has three good things going for...
The Skeleton Key
If Rob Reiner’s Misery where to have a one-night stand with Iain Softley’s The Wings of a Dove, the coupling would more than likely produce the latter’s own The Skeleton Key. The British director’s gothic thriller is a meditation upon observer expectation and bias...
Skeleton Crew
Mental institutions are inherently creepy (have you seen SESSION 9? Enough said.), but I’d been burned with a good trailer and an interesting premise before by Lightning Media with THE DEVIL’S GROUND. SKELETON CREW is a whole new ballgame, and despite a few glitches,...
Skeeter
Clark Brandon issues a refreshing flashback to yesteryear B-movie goodness with a monster invasion involving giant mosquitoes as they prey upon a town filled with enough local color to suffocate a David Lynch production. Given the over-the-top premise, Skeeter...
Sisters
Brian DePalma’s 1973 movie SISTERS set the trend for the early part of his career, in which he successfully dressed up old Hitchcockian tropes with contemporary stylistic showiness and exploitation movie goodies. Although it is the work of a former short film...
Sisters
Sisters is Brian De Palma’s first in a career of homages to his idol, Alfred Hitchcock. However, though thematically and cinematically similar to the master of suspense, the work exhibits what would be later dubbed as signature De Palma. Perhaps ironic in relation to...
Simple Revenge
Talk about a surprise film! When I first saw the cover I was like: Oh great another film with a great looking girl on the cover that's most likely going to suck. I was wrong. "Simple Revenge" has one hell of a great story with more plot twists and straight up killing....
Simon Says
A film that has some good reviews from some notable sites, but had a negative one from one of my writers kind of left me thinking who was really in the minority here. After SIMON SAYS, right from the get go had a lot of positive things about it. Crispin Glover as the...
Simon Says
A lot of low budget indie American horror films show up on the UK’s “Zone Horror” satellite TV channel (formerly “The Horror Channel”) before their DVD premieres in either the UK or the US. Most of these are bland at best, home movie-level at worst, but occasionally...
Sinful
Sinful is a film that takes an odd approach to how some women who can't conceive, actually go crazy. The director takes an artistic approach here, with a very dark atmosphere and the use of a very smooth yet frightful soundtrack. Sinful is a dark tale, a very dark...
Sin City
Finally a fresh breath of air out of the big budget guys, well not really but it sure seems that way. I have major respect for Robert Rodriguez, he's one of the only guys in Hollywood that shoots HD, You won't find him holding a film camera anymore. The man is an...
Silver Night
"Silver Night" was a film that was written by a native Long Islander, So like every horror film that's shot in my own backyard, I'll always take the time to review them. Sadly enough though, I have a problem with Low budget vampire films. For some reason they never...
Silent Scream (The Retreat)
A class of psychology students venture out to their ambitious professor’s winter retreat for a weekend in “Bumfuck, Michigan” as part of a mysterious experiment. A subjective camera prowls around the woods while a killer in a parka and gloves garrottes, beheads and...
The Silent Scream
"SILENT SCREAM" had an infamous tag line, which read "When the terror is so sudden there is no time to scream." The trailer was a little longer then a minute and conjured up images of demons or ghouls in the mind of anyone that saw the trailer and it was disappointing...
