Most horror fans seem to think that horror is limited to the story of one central killer or killers that hunt down a group of unsuspecting people. Those films are fine if done right, however true horror is more than just blood and gore; it’s something that taps into...

The screener for Consumption arrived without any promotional information, so I wasn’t at all sure what to expect. However per the filmmakers’ Website, www.fatalpictures.com, the movie’s byline is, “The complex and tragic relationship between an eccentric professor and...

To the lay viewer, Consequences would at first appear to be a Johnny-Come-Lately rendition of Eli Roth’s Hostel. However, analogous to the similarities (as well as poignant differences) between David Fincher’s Se7en and James Wan’s Saw, Stephen Stahl’s directorial...

I haven't been much of a fan of some of the recent ghost movies that have been making their rounds as of late, especially all of the remakes of the Asian ghost films in recent years. However there is something about this low budget flick titled CONJURER that give it's...

I must admit I really thought that as a company Heretic Films was going to be another one of those direct to video labels that eventually everyone would avoid renting or buying their films. However unlike companies like Fullmoon and Brain Damage, Heretic Films picks...

"The Coast Guard" is by no means a horror film at all, in fact it maybe can be classified as a Thriller, but it's more of a war story than anything. I guess probably the best way to describe this film is that you can probably relate some of the characterization to...

Something has found us… Last summer, millions witnessed a clever teaser at the beginning of Transformers where low quality home video footage captured the head of the Statue of Liberty hurling towards the urban hipsters of New York. 1.18.08 flashed across the screen...
