As the final credits of Christian James’s Freak Out started to roll, I was perplexed because I was sure I’d missed something, so I marched my little butt to the computer and proceeded to read what others thought about the film and this is what I have thus surmised:...

FREAKDOG, like jobbing director Paddy Breathnach’s last horror film, SHROOMS, is a competent, good-looking, slick product let down by mediocre material and all too obvious attempts to appeal to the worldwide (read : American) market. In this case, the latter is even...

When I got this DVD in the mail today I was actually shocked to see that the site was quoted on the front cover. I said to myself, I must be watching to many movie, cause I don't even remember seeing this one, maybe Steven reviewed it. So I checked the archives....

I've always been a fan of old school b-movie horror. "Frankenstein vs. The Creature from Blood Cove" is a homage to all those films from the 1940's and 50's. It's got that cheesy b-movie feel, ( with a few nude women) scene's on a beach that remind you of those great...

Of all horror films, the figurehead of the genre is James Whale’s Frankenstein. One of the greatest films of all time, the work has been written upon, critiqued, and analyzed frame-by-frame, thus, I will spend the this review highlighting the more interesting readings...

Mercy Falls Children’s Hospital, on the Isle of Wight, is about to close down for good. With a train crash filling up the intended transfer hospital, the remaining eight children and skeleton staff are forced to wait for a few days before they can leave. Barely...

Some films that we watch have an effect on us because, in some way, we relate to them. In other cases, we may not relate, but feel for the characters and their struggles. Most will dismiss these kinds of films as dramas, crime stories or thrillers, but some films go...

I always have had the hidden fear that one night I would wake up to find a group of small, grey aliens looking at me. These stories seem to be becoming common, especially with the UFO community, and there are so many theories being discussed from sleep paralysis to...

In the UK, THE FOURTH KIND was released just weeks before PARANORMAL ACTIVITY - and, like that movie, represents an inevitable 21st century post-BLAIR WITCH faux-reality take on a sub-genre that’s already full of conventionally shot movies purporting to be based on...

Back in the mid 1980's a slew of cheap horror films were shot on VHS or 3/4 inch tape. Recently a company called Camp Motion Pictures decided to release some of the better, more campy films on DVD. I enjoyed those films because next to film those formats were the next...

Need I comment on a film directed by, albeit an Oscar winner, nonetheless a makeup effects artist who gratuitously exploits, not only his production’s famed paterfamilias, David Cronenberg’s The Fly, but attempts to simultaneously remake the sequel to the original...

“To me, the mind is physical, the mind is the body. Without body there is no mind; there is nothing left of us when our bodies are dead, as far as I’m concerned. That’s it. So I’m a complete atheist for one thing and kind of an existentialist as well, so I don’t...

Based upon the debut screenwriting effort of famed author James Clavell of a story in Playboy Magazine a year prior by George Langelaan, Kurt Neumann’s The Fly is perhaps the perennial example of a subpar production whose premise nonetheless captured its audience’s...
