The true work of genius is the simultaneous creation of something that is both intellectually engaging as well as entertaining. However, if a filmmaker is attempting to do just this, or even the slightest portion of both, it is best to set one’s foundation with the...

Who would of thought that a film about a serial killer who not only is obsessed with Ronald Regan but dresses just like him would be so dam good. That's the case with The Tripper. Directed by actor David Arquette (Scream, Riding the Bullet) whom also co-wrote the film...

Here's a film where my explanation of why I liked this film and disliked it might confuse some people. TRILOQUIST is a film that at some points its good, other points it's really bad and then at some points it's so bad it's good. Does that make sense to you? Well if...

Dumped by its studio (Warner Bros) following an abandoned original release date of October 2007, this marvelously atmospheric old-school horror anthology from Bryan Singer collaborator Michael Dougherty (he wrote SUPERMAN RETURNS and X2 ; Singer is a producer here)...

While growing up, the dog days of summer brought most kids down as the new school year snuck up on our lazy days. Living in the Midwest, local mom & pop shops would start hanging skeletons and jack o’ lanterns in their windows just before labor day. A sense of...

Following the suitably grungy, nasty DEATHLINE homage CREEP and the witty SEVERANCE - reworking the dark 9-5 humour of THE OFFICE into a backwoods horror framework - writer/director Chris Smith continues to show his versatility while staying within the genre he loves....

Here's a film where I liked it and didn't like it, and then ended up liking it. I don't know, this is really going to be a weird review for me. First off the story was cheesy as hell, and seeing Michael Gross as a prissy rich man and not Burt Gummer, really killed me....

TRAUMA was the first mainstream Hollywood film that director Dario Argento took on. Dario before hand was very well known as a master of the Italian giallo films, a sub-genre to the horror film, that only a handful of great Italian directors could pull off. It was...

A flawed but interesting horror anthology written by Dennis Bartok and boasting what seems like as many (Japanese) producers as cast members. The delightfully old-school Amicus-style wraparound is directed by Dante and is perhaps the most pleasurable part of the...

Transit Angel is a short independent film that I received in the mail not to long ago, I decided to pop it into the DVD player and check it out. Needless to say what I first saw and heard for that matter made me want to shut the film off. It looked much like a student...

As a kid I was obsessed with Transformers, I had a lot of the action figures, and when I heard of a live action film I was very excited. I know most people are not big fans of Michael Bay, but I really thought if your going to make a TRANSFORMERS movie right, with...

Films such as Saw and Hostel became the focal point for the recent sub-genre that many have dubbed “torture porn.” Since the genre's inception, a ton of independent and studio-based direct-to-DVD films have been made that fall into this category. I, personally, am not...

Wearing its influences on its sleeve with overt references to John Waters (abundant pink flamingos), Herschell Gordon Lewis (vivid Southern monsters) and EC horror comics, this screen adaptation of the Imperium Comics franchise refreshingly comes up with an unusually...

Following the success of Creature from the Black Lagoon and Revenge of the Creature, Jack Arnold issued Tarantula, a film which, much like his previous films, retains a Universal Monster sensibility yet, in creating a cautionary tale involving scientifically-created...
