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...

Cat People
The RKO team comprised of director Jacques Tournear (Night of the Demon, I Walked with a Zombie), screenwriter DeWitt Bodeen (his first script), and producer Val Lewton created with Cat People what is considered by many to be the epitome of understatement in cinema....
Virus X
If I’ve said once I must have said it a thousand times; Direct to DVD horror films are a dime a dozen. The market is full of them; some are real gems while the majorities are duds There is a market for them; a lot of people will enjoy anything that has a decent...
Catharsis
If anyone says that David Stagnari film Catharsis is not some of the best film making they have ever seen, then they should go get themselves a better education in film. I'll be the first person to admit that I'm not one for films that have a unique art house vision...
Virus (Fukkatsu no hi)
Kinji Fukasaku’s attempt at making a masterpiece which the entire world could relate--a post-apocalyptic narrative involving an international cast set throughout the globe--unfortunately suffered a fate not unlike most of humanity during the film. After almost an hour...
