Bite Me
Here's another film from Shock-O-Rama/ EI Cinema, yeah it's low budget, and stars their usual girls and guy actors, and it's got all the cheese of a B-movie. But I liked this one for some reason, It had bad special effects and layers upon layers of images that just...

Bite Me
The first thing that comes to mind when thinking of a Brett Piper film is that we are going to divulge the next hour or so into a stop motion monster fest. You like what Ray Harryhausen did for the genre back in the KONG KONG and CLASH OF THE TITAN days? Then I think...
City Slab #8 – Magazine Review
After seeing just one issue, City Slab Magazine has quickly become one of my favorite small press magazines. It has a professional, polished look with full color covers as well as a color section in the interior and combines some outstanding short fiction with a...

Birth Rite
The overall concept behind this film is pretty good for a low budget horror film, the acting is not all that bad and the production value is very good. The script however did not work well for me as I really would have liked to get to know some of the characters...
The Big Alligator River
NoShame Films have just released The Big Alligator River, a 1979 Sergio Martino “animal revenge” film, on a beautiful digitally remastered DVD. While Alligator River can best be described as “Jaws in the jungle” (with, obviously, an alligator in the shark’s place), it...

Tabard Inn #1 – Magazine Review
Tabard Inn #1 is a new, non-paying zine, tangibly horror but that runs the gamut from hard-boiled gay fiction to speculative work. As Editor/Publisher John Bruni states in the issue’s introduction, the fiction in Tabard Inn is extreme, yet thought-provoking. He...

Hack/Slash (Evil Ernie)
Hack/Slash started off as an outstandingly original one-shot adventure that really put a spin on the slasher genre. The comic focused on Cassie Hack, a troubled girl who was forced to slay her own mother after she became a rage-infested, maniacal murderer....
The Beyond (E tu vivrai nel terrore – L’aldilà)
“No, my idea was to make an absolute film, with all the horrors of our world,” so says the Italian maestro of gore, Lucio Fulci, when questioned about his masterpiece, E tu vivrai nel terrore - L'aldilà (literally, “And you will live in the terror - the afterlife”),...
Bereavement
On Long Island, we have our fair share of great horror filmmakers. Most make just one decent film and then disappear or move to Los Angeles to pursue their dreams. However, Stevan Mena is proof that one can make good films outside the Hollywood system and there is no...
