Norwegian horror COLD PREY was a nice surprise a few years back : nothing original or remarkable about its script, but its execution made for a genuinely tense and involving throwback slasher pic. This sequel duplicates its predecessor’s virtues : sometimes routine in...

Premiered in England at London’s Frightfest weekend where I first saw this film., Roar Uthaug’s COLD PREY was a substantial hit in his native Norway, and deservedly so. It isn’t the first slasher film with a skiing backdrop (let’s spare a moment to remember ICED,...

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...

J.J. Abrams the creator of the television series Lost, hit us hard with a mysterious, title less trailer last year. Not much was known about the film other than the fact it seemed some kind of monster attacks New York City and tears the head off the Statue of Liberty....

A kind of different approach in movies then the usual fair of Mondo releases. A straight forward serious dive into Sci-Fi terror, and I mean quite real if you ask me. Something so crazy that it could actually happen. Peter Graves (Mission Impossible, Airplane) is...

After weeks of passing this by on video shelves in my local video store, and my sister and brother in law telling me I have to see this film, I finally decided to pick it up. As I've learned a great box cover can get any movie rented so I don't usually go by the box...

There is no one more dangerous to deal with than a woman who has had her child taken from her. Disagree with me all you want, but unless you’re a parent, it’s something you can never understand. The bond between mother and baby is something that is hard to separate....

The Tooth Fairy as we all know is a legend will tell little kids about when they lose their teeth, usually the tooth fairy brings them money for their baby teeth. However over the past few years there have been plenty of horror films that depict the tooth fairy as an...

The eponymous Tony (an astonishingly good Peter Ferdinando) lives in a depressing old bloke’s flat in an equally depressing London suburb. He looks like somebody’s downbeat, if basically harmless, dad. He has been unemployed for 20 odd years, and the most...

Amando de Ossorio, with his fresh, apocalyptic vision of the undead nihilistically portrayed in an uncompromising manner in which death languorously creeps upon humanity, created one of the most devastating zombie tales ever set to celluloid. In so doing, he...

There are a lot of ghost stories that plague the horror scene; some are good, while others fail to get their point across. The problems with most films that involve haunting and ghost are the stories usually have a hard time keeping the audience entertained,...

This nifty, quirky little Spanish thriller starts out as a deft Hitchcockian thriller, complete with voyeuristic Everyman (a nicely understated performance by Karra Elejalde, making for a pleasingly unfashionable middle aged hero), an imperiled - and stripped - pretty...
