Breeders

Breeders

It should be enough to merely state that Tim Kincaid’s Breeders is the progeny of an individual whose canon is largely comprised of direct-to-video productions. Sadly, this isn’t enough. What makes this particular film especially decrepit is that fact it holds the...

The Breed

The Breed

From executive producer Wes Craven (does he actually know his name is on all these movies?) comes an old school, straight-forward revenge-of-nature flick, much in the vein of Robert Clouse’s THE PACK (1976). If you were feeling uncharitably picky, you could use...

Watchmen

Watchmen

I never knew much about WATCHMEN until a few years ago when co-workers of mine introduced me to the story and talked about it being one of the best graphic novels they ever had read. A few months ago, one of my good friends let me borrow the graphic novel so I could...

Wasting Away

In a time when even the stand-out new zombie movies (like DIARY OF THE DEAD) are treading on familiar ground both stylistically and thematically, it’s rare to find an entry in the genre that demonstrates both originality and wit. WASTING AWAY does just that in its...
