The Victim (2011)
THE VICTIM is the solo directorial debut from genre actor, Michael Biehn (in 2010 he co-directed THE BLOOD BOND with Anthony Szeto). I’ve posted a few articles about the progress of this film over the last year, and then suddenly it went silent. So I was pretty happy that THE VICTIM was being screened at … Read more
Huff (2012)
Here’s one that really surprised me. I hadn’t heard anything about this one until the final screening schedule came out for the 2012 Texas Frightmare Weekend line up. Besides the basic plot, HUFF was described as a modern day retelling of the Three Little Pigs. Hhmmm. Okay. Sounds gimmicky; very gimmicky. Boy was I wrong. … Read more
Nina: Crazy Suicide Girl (2012)
NINA: CRAZY SUICIDE GIRL gets an early vote as being the best titled film of 2012 (so far). When I first came across this one I assumed it was an Asian import. You know; the crazy, over-the-top Asian films that are full of comic book-like violence and gore? Well I was wrong. This is actually … Read more
Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies (2012)
If your first thought here is, “I think the title is actually ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER,” well you’re wrong. If you’re now thinking, “Aahhh; it’s a mockbuster … we must be dealing with The Asylum,” well then you hit the nail square on the head. ABRAHAM LINCOLN VS. ZOMBIES is indeed a ‘mockbuster’ (a lower-budgeted … Read more
Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead (2011)
Aahhh yes … just read that title again!! The Texas Frightmare Weekend 2012 dug deep for this one (hee hee)!! This was listed on the program as a “Secret Screening” due to it not being picked up yet for North American distribution. The title, ZOMBIE ASS: TOILET OF THE DEAD, captures exactly what this film … Read more
Texas Frightmare Weekend 2012: Q & A with The Italian Masters, Deodato, Bava, & Stivaletti
If nothing else occurred at this year’s Texas Frightmare Weekend except this Q & A, I would’ve been extremely satisfied and fulfilled. I’m talking about the Q & A with three of the Masters of Italian Horror Movies: Ruggero Deodato, Lamberto Bava, and Sergio Stivaletti. The only thing that could’ve made this panel better is … Read more
It’s in the Blood (2012)
The first film I watched at this year’s Texas Frightmare Weekend 2012 was one I heard absolutely nothing about: IT’S IN THE BLOOD. The film has a very small main cast, is filmed in isolated and remote areas, and often times has a very hallucinatory feel to it. IT’S IN THE BLOOD is an indie … Read more
Texas Frightmare Weekend 2012: Hanging with Don Myers & T-Shirt Bordello
Don Myers of T-Shirt Bordello has been a big champion of anythinghorror.com. He contacted me last year and asked if I’d be interested in reviewing some of the items he sells. Soon afterwards we became friends and have even helped each other out. He’s sponsored two contests on anythinghorror.com and I’ve written him some content … Read more
Texas Frightmare Weekend 2012: Friday Night with Gaylen Ross, Barbara Crampton, and Bloody Bill Pon
Well another Texas Frightmare Weekend has come and gone and right now it’s Sunday night around 11pm and I’m fighting off sleep and the lull I always feel after the big weekend is over. I eagerly await the Texas Frightmare Weekend all year and then it’s over in a short but very busy two days. … Read more
