Underworld: Evolution
I typically get bored with action vampire films after the first time I watch them. Mainly because after the first viewing I find the second go around to be quite boring. I typically feel this way with the Blade films, Van Helsing, and the first Underworld. However...
Underworld
"Underworld" was a film that pits Vampires against Werewolf's (Know as Lycans in the film). The visual effects were really cool, and the art direction was brilliant. Costume Designs were also really cool. As far as acting goes it was not really that bad, Most of the...
Under Surveillance
I think it's safe to say that Independent films are really outdoing Hollywood films this year. And on top of that, being a native Long Islander myself I can honestly say that we have some dam good filmmakers making films here. Long Island's own Dave Campfield whom...
Underground Vampires
Well as many of you know I hate getting home video footage, and that's pretty much the way this film starts out. At first I thought their might of been a mix-up between the DVD's and that the producer of this film might of sent me his own home video's by mistake. Well...
Undead
"Undead" is a zombie film from Down Under from The Spierig Brothers. It's great fun and the closest thing to a summer popcorn movie you're likely to get from a zombie film. In the film a shower of meteors bombard a small town and an alien infection turns the citizens...
The Children
Tom Shankland, who made an intelligent if flawed torture-movie in last year’s WAZ, does a terrific job with this startlingly effective Christmas-set horror - a microcosm of apocalypse revolving around an unforeseen, mysterious threat and a small scale siege scenario a...
Uncle Sam
Larry Cohen has made his name as writer and director of some of the sharpest horror satire in modern times. Beginning with It’s Alive and continuing with The Stuff, Body Snatchers (with Stuart Gordon), and Manic Cop (with director William Lustig), Cohen penned a few...
Children of the Corn
I often say that many horror films are a dime a dozen. I say it with vampire, zombie and werewolf films. I should add remake to that mix. I never have been one of those people who bitch at the sight of every film that is remade. I know business is business, which is...
Children of the Corn
Stephen King always will be considered the “king” of horror fiction. From the late 70s until today, more than fifty of Kings novels and short stories have been made into a motion picture. Children of the Corn was the second film based on one of King's short stories,...
Chicago Massacre: Richard Speak
The only thing I knew about Richard Speak was that he killed a lot of women. That's really all I knew about the man. That is until I saw this film. Now I'm usually one that really gets into any film that's based on a real serial killer. Being someone who's into law...
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Let me begin this review of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” by stating that I don’t really care for the first film adaptation of Roald Dahl’s book, titled “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” (the film, not the book; the book shares its title with the newer...
The Changeling
By shifting the subgenre’s focus ever so discreetly, Director Peter Medak creates one of the most famous haunted house films, comparable in its atmosphere to Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining and Robert Wise’s The Haunting. Stridently, George C. Scott carries the tale of...
Chaos
My god, with this film I don't know where to begin, nor do I know where I stand on my views of it. Chaos has become one of those films that is now surrendering itself in controversy, based not only on it's content, but by the way the film has an effect on people. It's...
Chaos
First things first, obviously by my rating, the reader is aware of which side of David DeFalco’s Chaos fence I reside. Though I try not to validate a work of art in the wake of criticism--allowing those who condemn to do so upon their own volition as is their right as...
Unborn But Forgotten
Well before I viewed this film, I read on The Internet Movie Database a review of the film in which the reviewer said that this film was the Korean version of "FearDotCom". Right there and then it had a strike against it with me as I was no fan of "FearDotCom" at all....
