I recently stated in a recent review how much all of these Asian horror films that have been unleashed on the American market have really not been living up to my standards as good films. I now seem to stand corrected, as I have found a diamond in the ruff. Alright,...

John Carpenter’s impetus for wanting to become a filmmaker was Jack Arnold’s It Came from Outer Space atop the famed Westerns of the era. As a result, many of his works reflect his infatuation with both genres in that many of his lone protagonists come to find...

Considering I am critiquing a film where the main character kills off his critics after they issued him poor reviews, I must confess I loved the film. (No, seriously, I did, and here’s why.) The work presents Shakespeare in a modern, however Gothic, light while...

For some reason when I first heard of a prequel to the remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I said to myself that now this remake thing is going way to far. I mean really a prequel to a remake of one of the most brutal films ever made. I mean the remake that came out in...

On the position that the remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is more violent and gory than the original, and the fact that there was not one once of comedy like there was in the original, I seriously have no choice but to give this film it's well deserved **1/2...

Tobe Hooper’s (Poltergeist, Lifeforce, The Funhouse) directorial debut, The Texas Chain Saw Masscare (TCM), stands alongside William Friedkin’s The Exorcist as the godfather of Grand Guignol in modern horror. The irony in this is that Hooper uses suggestion to its...

"Tetsuo: The Iron Man" is one hell of a strange film. Produced in 1988 in Japan, The film is directed and constructed from the imagination of Shinya Tsukamoto the director of such bizarre films such as "A Snake of June" and "Vital". Tetsuo: The Iron Man" can best be...

Shinya Tsukamoto created the legendary Tetsuo: The Iron Man. Many critics cited Eraserhead by comparison on two counts: the absurdist theme atop the black and white photography. However, I would add Darren Aronofsky’s Pi to the mix to give the reader a better sense of...

Roger Corman is said to be the world’s most successful director. It is said that he never has made a movie from which he did not profit. Almost everything with which he has been involved has made money and been a success. In realty, he is probably the most successful...

Terror at the Haunted House, a.k.a. My World Dies Screaming, is a film which had a good premise but suffers from three things: A distracting, inappropriate title, excessive verbosity, and “Psycho-Rama.” Either title, Terror at the Haunted House or My World Dies...

Ok some of you who might of seen this film are probably wondering why I gave this film a good rating, well "Terminal Error" despite it's video game effects and low production value became a guilty pleasure film of mine. As I watched this film it reminded me of one of...

"What can I say folks, Keene has done it again, and I'm beginning to believe that their is no story big or small that he can't write. "Terminal" is probably one of the best, well developed book's I've ever read. As I'm writing this review right now, I myself am sick...

It's pretty well know that I've never really been a big fan of anything that Brain Damage Films puts out with the exception of the film "Goth" (On which I thought was a pretty decent film.) Recently I've been finding myself being critical on Independent films that are...

TENEBRE is a film that really shows how Dario Argento earned the title "The Italian Hitchcock". It's to bad Hitchcock himself died two years before TENEBRE went into production as I'm sure the master would of dubbed the above title to Argento himself. However unlike...
