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...
Consequences (Playroom)
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...
Conjurer
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...
The Commune
This screener came with one of the most complete press packages I’ve seen yet: articles on the film and the director (including an awful blogspasm by Ellen Snortland), related news stories that served as inspiration for the picture, photos and benefit information (see...
Cold Storage
No one said making a movie was easy, even when it comes to the horror genre. No independent filmmaker can go wrong making a horror film. Almost any large or small distribution company will pick it up and throw it onto video store shelves; thus the thousands of horror...
