Holiday Horrors: Bloody New Year (1987)
New Year’s Eve is one of those holidays that doesn’t get a lot of love from the horror genre. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I can only think of two full-length horror movies that use this holiday as either a back drop or as the theme of the film. One is 1980‘s NEW YEAR’S … Read more
1980‘s Classic Horror Flick: Re-Animator (1985)

Movie Review: Near Dark (1987)
Well this is embarrassing. I wrote this review back in early January 2010 and just realized now that I never posted it. Yeah I know; shut up!! So here it is: If you think the romanticized, faggy, androgynous vampires that Anne Rice and Stephenie Meyer’s write about are scary or “cool”, then you can probably … Read more
30 Second Review: Street Trash (1987)
Grindhouse Cinema. If you’re reading this blog then I bet you’ve heard of it. But for younger readers who think this is only the title of a joint venture between Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez then let me take a second and talk about this genre. Grindhouse flicks are, simply put, exploitation flicks that contain … Read more
Movie Review: Cannibal Ferox (1981)
I set out to write this as a “30 Second Review” but I just kept writing. Some people are softies for kittens whiles others are softies for orphans. Me; I’m a softie for Italian Cannibal flicks. I love ‘em (you could say I eat them up)!! What do you think about this sub-sub-genre? If you … Read more

30 Second Reviews: City of the Living Dead (1980)
Fulci’s classic City of the Living Dead. Its as gory as it is fun!!
Movie Review: Psychos in Love (1987)
I first saw this flick back in 1988 when I was around 17 or 18 years old, and to be honest I forgot all about it. The other week I stumbled upon it on Netflix and it brought back a whole lot of good memories. I remember it being very gory, pretty damn funny, and … Read more
Movie Review: Videodrome (1983)
I saw this movie for the first time in 1985 when I was 14. My buddy’s older brother gave me a really crappy, grainy VHS cassette with a horrible sound track; BUT it was the uncut version (and as it goes, watching this flick on a grainy VHS is pretty appropriate). Now it’s 2010 and … Read more
Movie Review: The Hidden (1987)
This is one of those really easy movies to review: If you haven’t seen The Hidden then what the fuck is wrong with you?? This is a kickass movie that effortlessly blends genres and does it beautifully. It’s a scifi-horror-action flick with moments of black comedy that works on every level. Writer Jim Kouf takes … Read more
