The Brain That Wouldn’t Die
Whooooo! What a stinker. In 1959, Joseph Green, who made nothing else you’ve ever heard of, filmed The Brain that Wouldn’t Die. The picture wasn’t released until three years later, supposedly due to censorship difficulties, but I’d guess that was a mere alibi in a...
The X-Files: I Want To Believe
The long-time-coming second X FILES movie will most likely represent the end of the X FILES universe, at least in cinematic terms, given the film’s under-achievement at the U.S. box office in the same summer that hits were made of other long-dead TV shows (SEX AND THE...
Young Frankenstein
Mel Brooks (The Producers) hit his cinematic peak in 1974, making Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles. As an homage, not only to the legacy of Frankenstein but also to the Golden Age of Hollywood, the former stands as one of the greatest horror comedies of all time...
Brainiac
(WARNING: If my review seems erratic, let's just say I was 'inspired' by this film) The problem with horror films today is that they spend too much time and money on F/X and gore. Now, assuming you have a low/no budget and are out to make a horror flick, shouldn't you...
Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key.
Your Vice Is A Locked Room and Only I Have the Key is another film from the legendary Italian director Sergio Martino that has just been released in a beautiful DVD edition by NoShame Films. The film is essentially Martino’s version of Edgar Allen Poe’s story “The...
Brain Damage
Cult horror director Frank Henenlotter has been called many things over the course of his all-too-brief career but unimaginative is not one of them. Not only does Henenlotter provide his audience with another instance of his trademark quirkiness which--like David...
Zombies, Zombies, Zombies
“Super soldiers? They’re more like genetically altered super zombies!” notes an over-acting character in a fake zombie-film-within-the-film at the outset, featuring a machete-wielding Tiffany Shepis and deliberately goofy and / or self mocking dialogue (“Zombies?! Who...
Zombie Strippers
The title says it all; ZOMBIE STRIPPERS. It's obviously a B-movie filled with porn stars who wish to become real actresses, but don't realize the only work they will ever get is in horror film such as this one. However, this is a one of those b-movies that actually...
Zombies of Mass Destruction
I am one of those horror fans that have completely lost faith in the zombie film; especially over the past year or two. If I need to think back over the past two years I can’t say that I have even seen a zombie film worth mentioning. My feeling toward the genre is...
Zombieland
In a movie that also features “Dueling Banjos”, Van Halen, Velvet Underground and Blue Oyster Cult, the stand-out musical moment is an opening title sequence full of uber slo-mo bloody zombie action (in fact, the bloodiest stuff in the whole movie is here) set to...
Brain Blockers
Here's the thing; for some reason my mailing address ended up in a database where anyone with a movie can send me a film for review. It never used to be like that with this particular company, which shall remain nameless, it used to have to be that the filmmakers...
Boy Eats Girl
With its modest UK backdrop and amusing interplay between ordinary, dim characters in the face of a zombie onslaught, BOY EATS GIRL inevitably echoes SHAUN OF THE DEAD, though it avoids the self-conscious genre-referencing that has become an increasingly wearying part...
The Box
When I first read the press release for "The Box" It sounded like a good enough thriller that it could pass on the border line of horror, well I was wrong, it was more of a crime/thriller. However I'd figure I'd give it a shot, and watch it. Well I found "The Box" to...
Boxed In
WARNING: The following review is not pretty. I’m going to be frank: when I received the Boxed In DVD in the mail, one look at the cover instantly induced a groan from me. I’ve seen enough no budget college-kids-trying-to-be-artistic films to piss me off (and I don’t...
Bottom Feeder
I'm very happy that I one of the first web critic to review this movie, I am a big fan of "Shooting Sizemore" the realty based Television show that documents the life of actor Tom Sizemore, and his struggle with addiction. In a way you can say that this film helped...
