"Candy Stripers" is about a group of hostel aliens who land in a small California town, however these aliens are not who they seem to be, and are on a mission to take over the earth. However the aliens in their quest take over the bodies of some candy stripers at the...

In a very similar vein to the CG-enhanced comic splatter shenanigans of the recent MACHINE GIRL and TOKYO GORE POLICE (co-director Yoshihiro Nishimura worked on both in either a directing or special effects capacity while Naoyuki Tomomatsu directed the stylistically...

Ok so maybe sometimes I fool for foreign films, I sometimes find them to always be a lot better than the films that studios here in America put out. My thing however with Calvaire is that it's more or less a horror film that we've all seen before, but the entire film...

Based on a story by Clive Barker, Valerie on the Stairs is story that is one to warp the mind of any fan of Barkers work. As a fan of Barkers early work, I can say that the man has never lost his feel when it comes to developing dark stories filled with lust and...

Enough cannot be said about The H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society’s adaptation of the gothic American writer’s short story, “The Call of Cthulhu.” Put simply, the just sentiment for the masterpiece would have been the Oscar for Best Short Film. Given my proclivity...

Every story has a beginning, but I never thought that Sony Pictures would really green light a prequel to a thriller film that didn't even break even on it's opening day in theaters. Sure it had decent DVD sales and rentals, which is probably the reason why this movie...

I was a little hesitant to check this one out when I got this screener in the mail, I saw the original so long ago and although I can't say I remember it shot for shot, I know that it was a film I really enjoyed. The original Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is a cult hit from...

A non-gory, suspense-based, pared-down thriller in the Hitchcock mould, VACANCY riffs on the HOSTEL premise of sicko middle-aged thrill-seekers exploiting / torturing / killing unsuspecting tourists and stranded urbanites. Although it has the added kink that, this...

A little over half of the critics who have commented on Nimród Antal’s English-language debut, Vacancy, gave the film a positive review. (cough) I wish I was getting paid what they were under the table (cough) James Berardinelli states that the work is “not...

Arguably, Robert Wiene (The Hands of Orlac) created the first significant horror film in cinema history. Irrefutably, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari was the first psychological horror flick. Interestingly, most every element of horror can be found in Wiene’s highly...

Earnest performances, good pacing and a surprisingly impressive central creature all help make WYVERN one of the very best Sci-Fi Channel-originated CG monster movies. That may be damning it with the faintest of faint praise, but it really is a decent movie in its own...

OK! Maybe I’m being a bit premature being that I am only about ten minutes into the film, and yes, I’m here with laptop in hand with a handful of complaints already. So far I have been treated to the Geigo cavemen taking over an mental hospital. They then begin...

I am just going to come right out and say it. 2012 has been a shit year for horror films. Seriously folks! There is a reason for the lack of horror movie reviews on the site and more book reviews. Well, one of the reasons at least. I have seen a number of horror films...

Some films really do not deserve sequels. Of course, if the box office and DVD sales are above par for the studios, any film, no matter how good or bad, somehow will manage to get a continuing story, as is the case with most horror films. As a result, the Wrong Turn...

I first saw the original Wrong Turn in theaters the day it came out back in 2003. While I didn't find it to be the best cannibal slasher film I have ever seen, I did respect the suspense it bought to the screen and the great and original special effects provided by...
