Crazy Eights
A group of six former childhood friends whose lives have taken wildly varying paths - including a teacher and a priest - reunite for the first time in 20 years at a mutual friend’s funeral, from which they are inspired to retrieve a long buried time capsule at the...
The Crazies
George A. Romero’s 1973 film, The Crazies is a horror film that many don’t really know about, and those who do really don’t perceive it as a great film. I, for one, could not get through the film the first time I tried to watch it. The second time around, I did get...
The Crazies
The only horror movie he made between the more overtly horrific NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and MARTIN, George A Romero’s THE CRAZIES is a flawed picture but an important contribution to the wave of paranoid, authority-baiting, subversive, bitterly ironic 70’s American...
The Crazies
The Crazies is George Romero’s most frequently overlooked and under-appreciated film. Though it does not merit ranking alongside Night of the Living Dead or Dawn of the Dead, upon closer examination, the production’s seemingly straightforward, simplistic plot reveals...
The Cradle
Yeah sure, by all means; send the guy who has the four month old baby this movie to review. I don't get it, in the past month I've been reviewing movie and reading books that all have to do with babies or children in the mix of all the terror. On top of that I find...
The Cottage
Writer-director Paul Andrew Williams follows his much admired debut LONDON TO BRIGHTON with an agreeably silly slapstick horror picture that comes complete with the age old standing-on-a-rake gag and a key character who suffers cruelly funny start-to-finish physical...
The Corpse Vanishes
What do you get if you cross a poor man’s Katharine Hepburn and a beggar’s rendition of Clark Gable with a very, very small midget, a drag king, and Bela Lugosi on a bender, all within the confines of a comedic hard-boiled sci-fi horror mystery? Quentin Tarantino’s...
Corpses Are Forever
When I first popped the VHS copy of "Corpses are Forever" into my VCR, and saw the first scene was shot in black and white, I was like great another shot on video movie where they want me to believe it's on film, Then I realized that the scene was just a dream...
Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride
I’ve always been a huge fan of Tim Burton. His films (with the exception of “Planet of the Apes”) have consistently pleased me, especially “Ed Wood” and “Edward Scissorhands.” I guess Burton’s twisted, semi-Gothic sensibilities just click with my own aesthetics. So,...
Cornered
My part time management night job requires me to do a lot of things that deal with loss prevention, money and the security of the store(s) that I work in. When I count the money at the end of the night, there are three doors locked behind me when I do a drop. There...
The Cook
If I said it before, I'll say it again, Not only are independent horror films becoming on half dozen of the other, but so are horror comedies. It's become a genre where you really need to make something original and great to really be noticed. Unfortunately for this...
Contact
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...
Consumption
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...
Constantine
Can anyone seriously posit a complaint about a film whose titular character was originally based upon the pop music icon Sting? Would such a grievance even take itself seriously? After a career of making music videos, Francis Lawrence offers his feature-length debut,...
Constantine
At first glance of the trailer I was not sure if I was going to like "Constantine" that much. I figured at best it would be a two and a half star film, however I found myself taking a real interest in the story and the character of Constantine. John Constantine is a...
