Lionsgate Home Entertainment is set to release their box set (and individual releases) for After Dark Horrorfest II tomorrow, which features “Eight Films to Die For” all on DVD for the first time ever. One of our […]

The world as we know it has ended, not with a bang but a whimper. And in the post-Apocalyptic U.S. Midwest, a bitter and crazy former fashion model, Amber (Beverly Hynds), has assumed the title of Queen of the […]

Desecrated cemeteries, missing bodies, a decaying and reportedly haunted mansion, disembodied voices, embalming fluid found in places its not meant to be. Poor Jim Polk (Joe O’Rourke) thought he was getting away […]

“Slash” is one of those little direct-to-DVD horror films I would have paid no attention to but for the fact that Steve Railsback is the star. I have seen nearly everything the man has been in, interviewed him […]

When “Sleepaway Camp” was released in 1983, it was immediately attacked as merely being another “Friday the 13th” rip-off. But people need to be reminded that “Friday the 13th” is a MAJOR rip-off of Mario Bava’s […]

This disturbing, unnerving and little-seen Italian horror film is not your typical Giallo/slasher. Opening with a graphic depiction of a bound man being stabbed to death by unseen figures while a voice hisses “My […]

First, I have to qualify this review with the statement that I, as a rule, HATE funny horror (with the exception of Peter Jackson’s “Dead Alive”). The filmmakers either go too far with the comedic aspects and […]

I think most of us hardcore horror fans would agree that the state of most of the horror film industry lately…well, blows. Whether it’s a studio film (and those are the worst offenders) or the indies, there is […]

Dreams and nightmares. Reality or fairytales. Loss and lost. Welcome to Dante Tomaselli’s “playground” and abandon hope all ye who enter there. In Tomaselli’s current film, “Satan’s Playground”, a horrifically […]

This was an unexpected little surprise in a batch of screeners I recently received to review. On the surface, it seems simple enough – a betrayed husband, J.M. (Barnes Walker III) kills his wife, Andrea (Laurence […]

“I don’t believe in ghosts”, a skeptical brother tells his sister after he finds her hiding in an abandoned hospital where she had gone with some friends a few days earlier. “Oh, you will”, replies his […]

“Shutter”, the low-budget chiller, shot on video in Mississippi and Tennessee, is an interesting take on Tobe Hooper’s “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”. In fact, aside from a few minor differences, the film could […]

Obviously hoping to cash in on the infamy of Wes Craven’s “The Last House on the Left”(1972), in 1973, director Guerdon Trueblood and writer Bryan Gindoff set out to make their own off-kilter version of a young […]

Cookers screens at Screamfest LA on October 16th, 2005.

The winner of four awards at the Milan International Film Festival – Best Film, Best Editing, Best Cinematography and Best Music, “Cookers” has to be one […]

Edgar Allen Poe once wrote, “All that we see or seem, is but a dream within a dream”. And that is exactly what writer/director Dante Tomaselli is giving the viewers of his second feature, “Horror”. Whether it’s […]

“Carrie” meets “I Spit on Your Grave” in first-time feature director Jim Hemphill’s homage to the notorious rape/revenge films of the mid 70′s as well as his favorite films, “Carrie” and “Terror Train”. Having […]

Until I was assigned this film to review, I was completely unaware that the recent and much-maligned movie “Boogeyman”(2005) was a remake of an earlier film. But after seeing that earlier film, I have to say I […]

I should first state for the record that I have been to Waverly Hills Sanitarium, the setting for Philip Adrian Booth’s frightening film, “Death Tunnel”, and it is every bit as creepy and unnerving as the film […]

Set during the winter in Old Orchard Beach, Maine (and filmed there as well), “The Off Season”, from Larry Fessenden’s Scare Flix division of GlassEyePix, is an eerie ghost story about loneliness and abandonment. […]

“Neighborhood Watch” is as disturbing and scary a tale of suburbia gone mad as anything I have ever seen. The first feature film for former video director Graeme Whifler, the bare bones of the plot are of a young […]
