I’ll be honest, I was a late Cronenberg fan. I didn’t start watching his films until I saw him in Nightbreed, playing Dr. Decker, that I learned he was a director. Cronenberg films are an acquired taste. They are very strange, weird, creepy, and unique. They are in no way considered typical Hollywood faire, even […]
I decided to give The Collection, released in 2012, a watch because the concept behind it sounded both interesting and different. While most horror films feature people desperately trying to escape the bad guy, this film focuses on someone going back to confront him. Original, right? Unfortunately, in many ways, the concept of the film […]
It seems that every few years, some new incarnation of an old favorite of our beloved genre fills the cinemas and VOD queues. Be it some new twist on the tale of Frankenstein or a remake of The Wolf Man, to a reimagining of such films as Psycho, The Haunting, or even more recent works […]
Every once in a while I’ll sit down and watch a movie, a random movie that looks fun. A piece of entertainment that I can just shut off the ol’ noggin’ for 90 minutes and just enjoy, without having to think too hard, put pieces of a story together, and relieve some stress. A film […]
I’m a big fan of the Halloween tradition of “haunted houses”; attractions put on each year by civic groups, fire departments, and even private individuals seeking to let you pay for the privilege of having the shit scared out of you. When I was younger, it was mostly the local Jaycees or Lion’s Club that […]
The Devil Incarnate was surprisingly a pleasant film for me to watch. The film consists of blended hand held and standard type shooting and brings the viewers elements of exorcism, supernatural events and the standard pregnant woman that goes crazy vibe. The film begins with an excellent Game Of Thrones type music- think Red Wedding. […]
Hey y’all, I have a little word of advice…if you are a recovering alcoholic who is suffering from nightmares and strange visions, the best place to go is prob not a cabin in the woods. With no cell reception. Alone. Unfortunately, no one gave this advice to Emma, who decided that was a great idea. […]
Horror flicks, as we all know, are never all things to all people; some of you Fellow Fans are drawn to an atmospheric flick that relentlessly builds suspense and keeps you on the edge of your seat; others prefer that glorious splatter of blood, brains, and entrails. Of course, most fright flicks run the range […]
Like I’m sure many of you Fellow Fans are, I’m one o’ those that’s a fan of anthology films. Trick ‘r Treat, Campfire Tales, V/H/S; even oldies but goodies like the original Amicus productions of Tales From The Crypt and Vault Of Horror; I simply love ‘em. It’s like getting several horror flicks in one; three […]
Each of us horror freaks have those one or two flicks that we remember from childhood that had two profound effects on us; one, they scared the hell out of us, and two, they played a big part in making us horror fans for life. Those particular ones we can see a thousand times, but […]
Sometimes, horror is more effective when its implied rather than expositional. Now I realize that statement seems to somewhat fly in the face of what we all love about horror films, but you and I, Fellow Fans, are both completely aware of how sometimes the “less is more” approach can be very effective; when done well, it can […]
Like most of you out there, I’ve had my share of disappointments when it comes to horror movies. You hear the hype, see the trailer, read about the care that’s gone into a film, and then finally, you see it…and it sucks. Other times, you get drawn in by a fantastic poster or cool DVD […]
Excision is definitely one of the weirdest horror movies I’ve seen lately. It is about Pauline, a high school student who is… troubled, to put it mildly. She dreams of becoming a surgeon. She is constantly at odds with her uber-controlling Stepford Wife of a mother who will not stop trying to push Pauline into […]
OK, here’s a question for you Fellow Fans out there; it may be better suited for those born before 1975, but I have the utmost faith that all of you guys and gals can play along: Name a “ghost movie” from the 1980s…first one that pops into your head. All done? OK, pencils down, I’m taking up your answers. […]
