Urban Legend
The Slasher genre was irrefutably changed once Wes Craven’s Scream hit theaters in 1996, despite the fact that a handful of films had already prospected upon the, albeit soft, ground upon which the legend was later constructed. Inevitably, once a pivotal,...
Ultraviolet
Having just finished watching the uncut edition of Kurt Wimmer’s Ultraviolet, I followed up with the reading of a handful of reviews after being bombarded by the video store employees with claims that the film wasn’t worth the rental price. I will now stop and pause...
Masters of Horror: The V Word
I had no prior knowledge of what the last episode of Masters of Horror to hit DVD would be about. I don't have Showtime, so the only time I ever got to see these films was on DVD thanks to my friends at Anchor Bay Entertainment. When I sat down to watch The "V'" Word,...
Voodoun Blues
Misty is quite an actress, she even tries breaking into films, art films with this. Voodoun Blues is a 5 minute short about a little possessing, voodoo doll style. Some weird imagery and then falling flat. No emotion whatsoever. Another short involved is Sour Milk....
Voice of Reason
Voice of Reason is one of those films that I would of probably turned down reviewing had it not been for the trailer. However while the film has it high points I found that film has a high amount of amateur mistakes. Not so much in the style of filmmaking but more...
Chain Letter
Gore and bore, that’s what I would like to say about many of the horror films that need to rely on their gore elements to get their story across. However, what if the story does not get across? That is the problem with Chain Letter a film that showed so much promise...
Voices
As of late I really have found my taste for Asian horror films to be on a downturn. At the beginning of the century I was all about the Asian horror film, as it seemed that films like RINGU (The Ring), Gin gwai (THE EYE) and even the likes of OLDBOY and A TALE OF TWO...
Cemetery Man (Dellamorte Dellamore)
For a while now, I have heard about "Cemetery Man" (as Dellamorte Dellamore) but was never really able to get my hands on it. I had no clue that when Anchor Bay sent a copy my way, that it Cemetery Man, was in fact the same film, until I did my research. Well after...
Van Helsing Curse CD
"Van Helsing's Curse" is a great CD, the group is comprised of an eighteen piece orchestra, a Choir and blends rock music in to make this really cool style of music which in suitable for any Halloween or Horror type event. The CD is kind of told as a story, by none...
The Cellar Door
In the new trend of torture flicks like Hostel and Saw there are bound to be a slew of independent flicks that follow suit, some of them are good and some alright, the majority however are either a direct rip-off of the latter or just plan suck. The Cellar Door kind...
The Cell
. . . nothing short of a masterpiece. When the FBI, led by Peter Novak (Vince Vaughn), finally locate mass murderer Carl Stargher (Vincent D'Onofrio), they are met with a dilemma: One of his captives is still unaccounted for and Stargher has recently slipped into a...
VLOG
VLOG is a film that I normally would just shut off after the first five minutes. The film begins with a young, hot-looking girl on her web cam filming herself talking, when really, all the forty-year-old men still living in their mothers' basements spend their whole...
Caesar & Otto’s Summer Camp Massacre
The press kit to Caesar & Otto’s Summer Camp Massacre says in part that this film “Succeeds where Return to Sleepaway Camp failed.” Whereas the original Sleepaway Camp was even more disturbing than summer camp slashers such as The Burning, Return… was a dismal and...
The Cave
“Beneath heaven lies hell, beneath hell lies…” “The Cave,” a monster movie that doesn’t live up to that rather interesting tagline. I’m afraid I must report, dear reader, that “The Cave” is an incredibly formulaic, boring, completely non-scary creature feature....
Visitors
I though this film was going to be one of those boring foreign horror films I was going to hate. But Visitors was a pretty good flick with a good flowing story that kept my attention. This Australian thriller was about a Women (Georgia) played by Radha Mitchell (Pitch...
