I liked Wolf Creek just as much as the next guy. I liked Rogue even better. But those two flicks doesn’t mean that Australia is a new breeding ground for well-executed and all-round awesome horror-flicks. Quite […]

It’s no secret that I despise George A. Romero’s Survival of the Dead as I wrote this negative review way back in September. After the rash of screenings through TIFF and Fantastic Fest, I started to think I was […]

In a world were studios are more endowed towards spinning millions from TV, toys and films of the past, it’s bliss to discover that there’s a flipside to the trendy coin of retro. This year’s CPH:PIX Festival had […]

It’s been a month now since I caught Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani’s Amer at the EFM in Berlin and a lot of that time has been consumed by deciding whether I like the movie a little or a lot. It basically boils […]

Jumping of the nordic momentum raised by films like Let The Right One In, Antichrist and Cold Prey, swedish actor-turned-director Fredrik Hiller delivers his debut feature in a rather messy fashion. Psalm 21 is […]

Most of the time when people put the “European Arthouse” stamp of approval on a horror-film, it simply means that you have some European film crew trying to make a Hollywood horror, but without the budget needed. […]

Considering it’s only been a few days since it’s public premiere at Cannes, one could say that volumes have already been written about Lars Von Trier’s ANTICHRIST. Volumes containing everything from angry disgust, […]

If you have just a slight horror-fan in you, you will most likely have heard the name Aleister Crowley. A mystic, almost mythological person nowadays, Crowley is basically the father of modern occultism, satanism, […]

Crocodiles! I’ve always found them to be rather bad movie monsters. Same thing with snakes, you know the big, fat Anaconda-franchise-kinda snake. I know crocodiles and snakes are prehistoric super-killers with […]

Not really a horrorfilm, not really a crime thriller, but still standard in every way. The Alphabet Killer is on paper quite a different, reality-based serial killer thriller sporting emphasis on character and […]

Returning to feature directing after a decade and a half of absence, Frank Henenlotter is back to screw up whatever ideas you had about where horror could go. Mixing loads of gore, sexual allegories that would […]

To be honest, I’m having a hard time writing this review. Where does one begin with the Lordi Motion Picture? Going in to it I had no idea what to expect. Was it going to be serious, scary, funny, ridiculous? […]

Well, I’ll just do my part to kill the hype here. For quite some time people have been talking about this movie and I was pretty stoked to get to see it at The Berlin Film Festival – not least seeing as director […]

It’s been labelled as pretentious, slow and gay, but I find all that, except the gay part, to be untrue. In stark contrast to other poets on this site I found Otto both entertaining, funny and down-right […]
