2 Zombie Shorts: Day 9 (2013) & Flesh Eaters: A Love Story (2012)
This past Saturday was a rare occasion for me. My wife is out of town for work and my kids were sleeping over their friends’ houses. I was all alone and have the TV all to myself. Then I realized it’s been a really long time since I watched any horror shorts and it just … Read more
Dario Argento’s Dracula 3-D (2012)
My earliest memory of Dario Argento came not from seeing a movie, but seeing a commercial for one of his movies: SUSPIRIA. I was eleven, and there was this television ad with a woman (seen from behind) brushing her hair and putting a flower in it while singing, “Roses are red, violets are blue, the … Read more
Sloppy the Psychotic (2012)
Let me echo the opening line of Deggsy’s review of STITCHES (see his review here): Clowns, clowns clowns. Those horrifying little slices of Hell in anthropomorphic form never fail to raise the hair on my arms. I’m not clown-phobic (or, coulrophobia), but I don’t particularly like them either. Whose Idea was it to have these … Read more
Zombie Walks: A Sign of the Times?
Have you been on a zombie walk, or watched one? Last October I was lucky to have witnessed what is now an annual event, the Manchester Zombie Walk, where a thousand people assembled to shamble and moan and rattle chains through the city centre, and all to help raise money for a number of charities … Read more
The Possession (2012)
Now here’s yet another reminder not to judge a movie by its reviews. Unless it’s an Asylum film, of course, but that’s a stinking inbred horse of a different colour. The critics have not been kind to Danish director Ole Bornedal’s supernatural exorcism movie THE POSSESSION, calling it derivative, old-fashioned, hackneyed. I was prepared to … Read more
Stitches (2012)
Clowns. You don’t really need me to tell you about their scare potential, do I? Those pasty faces and red noses and garish clothes and how they all fit into those tiny cars. In my last clown-themed KLOWN KAMP MASSACRE, I already went into detail about how there are no nice clowns out there (a … Read more
Cool as Hell (2013)
James Balsamo is back and brings with him his no-holds-barred style of guerrilla-filmmaking that reminds me a lot of the old school Troma flicks from Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz (you know, before they had budgets). COOL AS HELL marks Balsamo’s third feature length film and he’s showing no signs of slowing down (he’s already … Read more
Videodrome (1983)
I’m reposting my review of VIDEODROME due to it being one of my all time favorite genre flicks and because when I originally posted this, back in January of 2010, it was the early days of this website when I didn’t have many visitors. This way everyone can know experience the love I have for … Read more
Warm Bodies (2013)
TWILIGHT. The books. The movies. The lunchboxes. The phenomenon. Like the bubonic plague, Stalin and Rob Schneider, they have a lot to answer for, and none of it is pretty. I remain gobsmacked that a dimwit like Stephanie Meyer, whose writing style suggests the squirrel working the controls in her head is a meth addict, … Read more
The ABC’s of Death (2013)
Usually when I get my hands on a new horror anthology I’m excited and eager to see it. But of late the horror anthology has taken a turn for the worse. Yes, I’m referring to the boring and extremely overrated V/H/S (my review). That film was enough to get me off of horror anthologies forever. … Read more
