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...

Directed by Francis Xavier DeGennaro What do you get when a dyslexic musician with a heart condition who can’t write and has no film experience sets out on a path of artistic direction that spirals from creativity to insanity? A dicey proposition at best – all of the...

I witnessed a trailer for this on my horror ventures across the web. TORTURE ME NO MORE, sounds savage. Lets take a gander and see what we come up with. A music video first off for the movie itself. I guess he’s good at music direction and video work? Some scenes...

After watching THE TORTURED you’re inclined to think that they should add stickers to all the DVD sleeves right below the marketing strap line “from the producers of SAW” that say, simply, and sarcastically, “yeah, you don’t say”. Overwrought from the get-go, this is...

You wont find George A Romero’s name on this alleged “remake” of his same-titled 1985 modern masterpiece though, given the great man’s association-by-proxy to recent tripe like CREEPSHOW 3 and DAY OF THE DEAD II : CONTAGIUM, he’s probably grateful for this fact. In...

“There are those who you can’t get ’em away from the first one [Night of the Living Dead]. Then there’s those who celebrate and party with Dawn of the Dead. Then there’s those real trolls who like Day of the Dead,” so says Romero of his zombie fanbase. Yes, Night of...

It is no secret that I bitch a lot about all the unoriginal vampire films that litter the horror scene, both in theaters and on direct-to-video shelves. The sub-genre has been bled to death by unoriginal ideas since the advent of digital filmmaking. However, just when...

"The Day After Tomorrow" is one hell of a disaster film, however it's a film we've all seen before. It's from the director/writer of "Independence Day" and what we get the same format as "Independence Day" except our Huge UFO and Aliens are replaced by Massive Storms...

Roland Emmerich’s parable/escapist adventure based around the threat of global warming, The Day After Tomorrow, is the only initial throwaway feature which has become dangerously relevant with the passage of time. At the time of its release, it seemed as if only...

When I first told some of my friend and collogues that I just got a zombie film in the mail called Dawn of the Living Dead, all their reactions were the same. "Are you f&*king kidding me? Who has the balls to name their film that?" Well obviously that was not the real...
