It’s all but impossible not to become a bit jaded when you’re a horror fan. Let’s be honest; there’s not a hell of a lot that we haven’t seen flash across the screen, be it transformations, decapitations, mutilations, creative kills, ghostly apparitions, or horrible monsters. All of us Fellow Fans worth our salt have seen […]
It’s a bit of a task to classify What We Do In The Shadows from writer/directors (and stars) Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi…it’s not “underground” or “independent”; hell, it’s not really horror — more of a comedy/mockumentary, with a fair amount of blood, a couple run ins with werewolves, witches, zombies, and a vampire hunter. […]
Die Die Delta Pi is one of the movies brought to us by Gatorblade films, directed by Sean Donohue and starring Krystal Pixie Adams. It’s also from The Sleazebox, who brought us Amerikan Holokaust and Skumbagz. This, unlike the aforementioned above 2 movies, is a straight up ’80s style slasher movie in the vein of […]
I seem to have been on a zombie kick lately; well, let me clarify: fate seems to have me on a zombie kick lately, as the lion’s share of the last few flicks I’ve had come across my desk have been of the lumbering undead variety. Not that that’s a bad thing; as I’ve said […]
I knew that this film would deal with something along the lines of creating life outside of the will of Divine Providence. It is about exactly that, but it’s a bit of a standout anomaly in the way it goes about it. I’m not going to take the road most travelled, and call it a […]
Sweden’s answer to Evil Dead? Well, its pretty close, and uses a lot of the elements, but was a lot more impressive than the recent remake of said movie .. SPOILER ALERT… The movie opens with an older guy calling his wife/daughters name (Lisa) to whom we find eating another person like she’s been infected/transformed […]
Last night I watched another directorial debut (well, kinda, as you wouldn’t class a short as a feature) from Spanish director Juanra Fernandez: Para Elisa or For Elisa as it states on the DVD case. Being rated as a 15, it is quite creepy and gory; for a first effort in the genre it is […]
Star Vehicle AKA Bleading Lady Ryan Nicholson 2010 .. Spoiler Alert . The skinny, aging, retiring, movie buff and driver for the Stars, Don (Dan Ellis), is looking to make one last horror movie. He’s a man on the edge and when his buttons are pressed heads roll, well get slashed, gutted, stabbed many a […]
A true classic in our beloved genre, Steven Spielberg’s Jaws first frightened a generation away from the water on this date, forty years ago. For such a landmark, I thought I’d dust off this review I did a while back and run it again for the occasion. If you’re old enough to recall the summer of 1975, […]
A group of young people out for a night on the town find more than they bargained for when an infectious outbreak occurs, turning normal people into flesh-hungry, violent monsters. Meeting up with some friends, they barricade themselves into a building where they feel safe, enlisting the aid of some military-types who were also trapped […]

The message warns of imminent danger and a curse that has afflicted his family for generations. Having lost his parents as a child, Shawn doesn’t believe this unsettling revelation of his past….until strange things […]
Exorcisms; prime real estate for the found-footage genre, wouldn’t you say? Filmmakers sure as hell think so, from Hollywood all the way down through the indie folks; and why not? I can think of few other scenarios that lend themselves so well to the POV concept (we’ve been watching documentaries for years that supposedly show […]
