So, on Saturday, my movie-watching friend and I embarked on a monumental task—five horror films in one day. It was spectacular. Our selections ranged from singing horror (SWEENEY TODD) to Elvira horror (MANEATER OF HYDRA and THE HOUSE THAT SCREAMED) to horror for...

Backwoods is typically one of those films that I would normally turn down. If it was not for the boys over at Deadpit.com, I probably would of. However Backwoods, has actually received some praise on the web, despite it's flaws. Let's face it folks, the days of the...

Every once in a while we manage to get a film that was made in another country that gets a direct to DVD release here in the United States that is well worth the time to watch. While I'm not going on record as saying Backwoods is a superior direct to DVD film it is...

David DeFalco’s directorial debut is a 21st century attempt to satirize the horror genre. Granted, after Wes Craven’s Scream, meeting said agenda with any amount of success is a hefty task to say the least, though The Back Lot Murders tends to rely upon Craven’s...

There’s so much crap out there - and this film’s UK distributor Lionsgate is as guilty as purveyor of it as anyone - that it’s still something of a revelation when a straight to DVD horror movie turns out to be a whole better than crap. This directorial debut for...

Based on the book BABYLON BABIES by author Maurice G. Dantec; BABYLON A.D. is a movie that it's own director was very unhappy with the final cut of the film that the studio released. It's said that the studio cut up to seventy minutes of director Mathieu Kassovitz cut...

In the success of Masters of Horror, ABC will be debuting a new series on August 4th at 10:00 PM. This series however will have nothing to do with horror. Masters of Science Fiction opens each episode up with a message from world renowned physicist Stephen Hawking....

Despite all the bad reviews I read for this film when it was in theaters; I find myself once again in the minority. Awake is a very well written smart film that takes an easy plot and adds a twisty concept to a a disturbing phenomena known as anesthetic awareness. At...

I first saw Avatar in theaters a few weeks after its release. I thought I avoided the crowds seeing it six weeks past its release date, but to my surprise I was in a packed out theater late at night with a bunch of people who probably were thinking the same thing I...

Married co-screenwriters Jace Anderson and Adam Gierasch (working here with E.L. Katz) earned a decidedly mixed reaction as co-scribes of Tobe Hooper’s decent TOOLBOX MURDERS remake and Argento’s dodgy but oddly likeable MOTHER OF TEARS. They team up again for this...

For the past few years the zombie film has quickly crept into the genre and taken over. You can even now consider it it's own sub-genre right next to the vampire and ghost films. However I find that no matter how many different twist and turns you try to put on the...

James Tucker issues us a gang of thugs who terrorize an innocent family. That’s it. There’s nothing here that hasn’t been done before, and on the same budget nonetheless (thus we aren’t even granted better photography or special effects this go around), i.e. Wes...
