After serving as first assistant director on such projects as Erin Brockovich, Traffic, Solaris, The Good German, and Ocean’s Eleven-Thirteen, Gregory Jacobs was finally handed the directorial reigns by his mentor, Steven Soderbergh. The young filmmaker’s rookie...

They don't make movies like they used to. It is a phrase that I often use when discussing many of today’s horror films. I have always been a fan of horror films that were made prior to 1968. The classics are the films that always got it right. One of the most...

Writer/producer Glen Morgan issues us his Big Screen debut with Willard, a remake of the surprise 1971 hit by the same name directed by Daniel Mann based upon the novel Ratman’s Notebooks by Gilbert Ralston, writing under the nom de plume Stephen Gilbert. Gilbert...

British Director Michael J Bassett’s previous foray into horror was with DEATHWATCH, a disappointing contribution to a mini-sub genre of UK supernatural chillers set in wartime. His follow-up, the more confident and satisfying WILDERNESS, is a rare British entry in...

WIDE AWAKE is one of those films that I honestly thought was going to be a some what decent Asian film. For a while now I have been avoiding most Asian films because it seems that the American market is becoming flooded with Asian horror films as of late, and frankly...

A young woman (Min-seo Chae) battling leukemia - and also dealing with personal bereavement - emerges from hospital with a nihilistic outlook. She is cared for by her devoted sister, whose gift of a long black wig transforms her appearance, both their fortunes and,...

Victor Halperin only directed four films, three of which were irrefutably cinematic disasters while the fourth, White Zombie, is the source of much critical polarity. Screenwriter Garnett Weston (It’s a Gift) issues a scathing criticism of marriage and tyrannical...

A Whisper in the Dark is another new DVD release from NoShame films, and while the film itself looks absolutely stunning, less can be said about the film’s plot contents. It all starts with a family--particularly the family’s young son, Martino. He has an imaginary...

This supernaturally enhanced variant on THE BAD SEED offers a nice twist on the traditional kidnap scenario : here, the kidnappers need to be scared of the kid rather than vice versa. It also generates an eerie ambience of brooding dread in the early going, helped in...

Women in horror cinema usually consist of an actress that knows the genre well and has been in more than a half a dozen of them, mainly B-movies. So who's to say that an academy award winning actress can't play the role of a heroine (or in this case victim) who...

Now this is a great little short zombie film that combines reality TV with Zombies. In a nut shell It's COPS with Zombies involved. We a group of cops that are part of a zombie unit and go around like in the TV show COPS and go to people houses and catch or kill...
