n respect to the horror genre, when Italy meets America, it seems as if only good things could come from the collaboration. As such, director Damiano Damiani’s follow-up to Stuart Rosenberg’s blockbuster, The Amityville Horror, Amityville II: The Possession, is a work...

I have lived on Long Island my whole life, I lived in four different towns throughout the island. If I were to go up the road, make a quick right, drive about 6 miles, make a quick left and I can be sitting in front of the Amityville Horror house in about ten minutes....

There is a reason that Andrew Douglas’s redux of Stuart Rosenberg’s The Amityville Horror was not screened for critics: It is sadly similar to Zack Snyder’s remake of George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead in that neither director understands the social allegory involved...

Twelve years after directing Cool Hand Luke, television-cum-Silver Screen director Stuart Rosenberg created what many label the iconographic haunted house narrative. In 1974, Ronald DeFeo killed his family with a shotgun before declaring that the estate’s voices were...

Zombie films are starting to litter video store shelves just as much as vampire films are and American Zombie is just another one to add to the fire. Seriously, ever since the rise of the zombie film in the past few years both on direct to DVD and in theaters the...

I grew up in Bakersfield, California, not exactly the forefront of the entertainment industry—but just around the corner (well, if the corner took two hours to get around) was Los Angeles, and from Los Angeles was KTLA Channel 5. That’s where I first encountered...

American Psycho is a film I like to use to test people with: Either someone likes it or they don’t. If they say they don’t care for the movie, they’re disqualified on general principle. However, if they give it a thumbs up, they still haven’t passed, they have to tell...

This is probably one of the best documentaries about horror films ever made. The Documentary talks includes interviews with horror directors such as George Romero, Tobe Hopper, John Landis, John Carpenter, Wes Craven, and David Cronenberg, plus interviews with college...

Director Bernard Vorhaus’s The Amazing Mr. X is an all-but-forgotten near-classic of noir cinema which I cannot say enough about. Aside from its mold-shattering cinematography by John Alton, Vorhaus blurs the line between fraudulent manipulation and the unknown as he...

Airplane flight is always a risk. They say flying in a plane is safer than driving your car. However, I think you have better odds of surviving a car crash. Lets face the facts, after the 9/11 tragedy, the fear of flying has increased. I know people who flat out...

Here's a little screen gem, that has made it's way though the major festival circuit, with a slight bit of star power and a few new faces, as well as a new, yet somewhat experienced crew of filmmakers. "Alone With Her" stars Colin Hanks (Tom Hanks son) in an...

Card-carrying B-movie fans get your name tags at the door, we have a one-man film festival going on as we speak . . . Having nothing whatsoever to do with Jack Sholder’s 1982 film by the same name (though it would have indubitably been better off if it had), modern...

Kenny Selko’s Alone posits a less-than-arresting plot as two-thirds of the characters are lethargically drug onto the screen before the director stumbles upon a haphazard moment of inspiration seconds before the film ends. What is left is the insinuation that the...

Mandy Lane is the hottest girl in school though she doesn’t seem to know it and still retains her virginity. She is played by Amber Heard with a remarkably assured blend of vulnerability, unobtainable gorgeousness and simmering ambiguity. The boys in Mandy’s school...

Alright, So I myself have finally realized that I watch way to many horror films. I got this DVD in the mail and knew the title sounded very familiar. But I figured there are probably a few films that are titled "All Souls Day" as it seems like just one of those...
