No prizes for guessing the key inspirations for the most intelligent horror movie of the summer. The prominent use of character names Elsa & Clive, the contemporary mad-science that dominates the story and the moment in which leading lady Sarah Polley utters the...

A likeable 80’s slasher pastiche that’s not broad enough to be an outright horror spoof but has an affectionately jaunty tone similar to the low-budget CAMP SLAUGHTER from a few years ago. It’s nicely acted and easy to watch, though the narrative peters out with an...

Donnie Darko was the first film that director Richard Kelly made. The film was not really a big hit in it's limited theatrical release, but became an instant cult classic on DVD among moviegoers, film makers and your normal teenage and college kid. The movie was such...

Director Brad Anderson has quickly made a name for himself. His films The Machinist and Session 9 have been hits with not only horror fans but with critics and moviegoers as well. Sounds Like is Anderson's contribution to the Masters of Horror series, and to be honest...

Call it celluloid martyrdom if you will, but just remember kids, we do it so you don’t have to . . . As a film critic, one accepts the fact that cinematic torture is an occasional occupational hazard. One can only hope that such instances will be brief and fleeting...

In all due respect, "Sorum" is a very well made film. The filmmaking is brilliant, the acting is great and everything about the film is good. It's top notch filmmaking in all it's glory and I'm sure anyone who has a deep apperception for Asian cinema will really fall...

Mark Rosman’s THE HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW was a very decent 1983 slasher movie : gruesome in the right places, with a strong final girl, efficient suspense scenes and a pleasingly surrealistic finale. It’s not a classic, nor (until later this year) has it ever had a...

Clayton Boone: What were some of your movies? James Whale: This and that. The only ones you maybe have heard of are the “Frankenstein” pictures. Boon: Really? “Frankenstein” and “Bride of” and “Son of” and all the rest? Whale: I made only the first two. The others...

Director Robert Siodmak and his brother, Curt, come together to create a highly imaginative retelling of Dracula as they issue a protagonist with ulterior motives which catches even the famed Count off guard. However, the film suffers due to a dose of nationalism, too...

For horror film convention fans Tempe here presents a DVD that brings a little slice of that scene right to you – conversations with nine “Scream Queens” from horror and B-movies stretching as far back as Night Of the Living Dead, loaded with dozens of film clips to...

Here is another sci-fi channel original movie that yet again stars Kevin Sorbo. SOMETHING BENEATH borrows it's plot from films such as THE BLOB, DEEP RISINGS and ALIEN. Some may even say it has the plot of other horror films, and in truth it's something that takes...

When I received an e-mail from one of the directors Jessica Baxter about reviewing her film, "Snow Day, Bloody Snow Day" I was a bit thrown off by the title. That is until I visited the Tangen Productions Website and watch the trailer to this zombie masterpiece. "Snow...

After giving the world one of the greatest automotive pileups in all of cinematic history with Final Destination 2, who better than director David Ellis to make a piece of pure escapist B-movie schlock? Sadly, it seems as if not everyone completed all their coursework...

Various cast and crew members from the set of Slither, when speaking about the film, alluded to the film being a throwback to 1980s horror. However, if you take Don Siegel’s Invasion of the Body Snatchers, implement the antagonists from David Cronenberg’s Shivers, and...

Ok so, let me get this straight, so nerdy ass guy, moves into a new apartment. He meets this punk rock dude, who invites him over to eat green pudding and drink some weird green liquor. He then bangs a hot chick with 80's metal hair, and then goes to bed a happy man....
