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...

In order to appreciate the ALIEN VS PREDATOR movies for the spirited fan boy monster movies they are, you have to put aside the undeniable greatness and intelligence of the earlier ALIEN films (that’s excluding ALIEN RESURRECTION and remembering that the PREDATOR...

Alien vs. Predator was a film that had to explain more than the nit really did, if you were not a fan of both the Alien and Predator series you might have a hard time understanding the whole history of both film series. So I strongly recommend picking up the Alien...

You all know, I love a good bad movie. I mean, seriously, I buy those Elvira Double Feature DVDs that have two awesomely bad films all in one box and I LOVE it. That being said, ALIEN UPRISING is one of the absolute worst films I’ve ever seen for SO many reasons....

Here’s a modest but satisfying old-school B movie from Warner’s erratic but sometimes impressive “Raw Feed” strand. Unoriginal but tidy and efficiently done, it does almost everything right, making inventive use of a confined backdrop and garnering suspense out of a...

THE ALPHABET KILLER is director Rob Schmidt's first feature length film since WRONG TURN ( Unless you count his Master of Horror television episode RIGHT TO DIE). This film is different from directing a cannibal in the woods film, this time we get a whole serial...

A zombie movie with a pedigree? The biographical notes on the cast and crew for this one go on for three pages of credits, and the film boasts a lead role by Adrienne Barbeau no less. Let’s see what that’s all about… Opening with a pan across the Bay and the ruins of...

I like to believe I am hard to impress given my experience and background in film and doubly so in respect to the genre of vampire cinema (not being a fan considering the field’s artistic limitations). Moreover, when regarding short works by unestablished filmmakers,...

I have not watched many good horror films this year. You can tell by the reviews I have posted on the site in the past nine months. It was not until last week that I actually saw a film that I found to be worthy of the best film of the year in Bereavement. However, a...

Let’s face it. Death itself is a terrifying thing. We don’t know when or how we are going to die, only that we will someday. We may live until we are in our 90s or we can die suddenly at a young age without any fulfillment of what we could achieve, whether it be a...

[Segments of the following review have previously appeared, in varied form, in City Slab Magazine #10.] There exist very few truly existential works of cinema. Martin Scorsese’s After Hours and Taxi Driver, Harold Ramis’s Groundhog Day, Vincenzo Natali’s Cube, Hiroshi...

One of my best friends from when I was younger, always wanted to be a Navy Seal. He trained hard everyday and had the drive to join the navy, get into the seals and become one. He is still one, and although I rarely see and talk to him. I know that what he is doing...
