I was going to begin this review with a haughty diatribe about the whirlwind of media frenzy which is Lindsay Lohan, and her continual issues with drugs/alcohol/DUI’s/rehab/on-set bitchiness, but frankly, that’s a […]

Let me save you some time, money and sanity by directing you to the only worthwhile moment in this film. Simply fast-forward to 40:35, watch for about two minutes and voila!

Otherwise, I am sincerely pressed […]

“Why does the wind blow? To cover our tracks, so no one knows we’re still alive…”

In the lore of Day Watch it is prophesied that when night is longer than day, a new ‘Great Other’ will come and sink the […]

At first glance, I admit to be absolutely befuddled with the phrase “SL8N8.” How in sam hill does this translate into Slaughter Night?
By being Dutch, you dork.
Right. What it actually means phonetically in […]

If the phrase, “from the director of Children of the Corn” doesn’t get your juices flowin’ and your loins a-stirrin’, by Christ I don’t know what would! I jest, of course, but it was this exact statement that […]

What a strange, twisted and thoroughly intricate film this is. Well, at least the plethora of minor details and trivial plot points would have me believe, anyway. On the outside it is a simple slasher film – and […]

Have you ever had a vivid or shocking dream, one that makes you toss and turn and wake up in cold sweats, only to quickly forget the entire episode? You know for sure there was a dream, but no matter how hard you […]

There was a spring to my step and a twinkle in my eye as I exited the theatre after viewing The Pang Brothers’ newest effort, The Messengers. I pulled a heaping gulp of crisp winter air into my lungs and a giddy […]

Art of the Devil 2, a sequel in name only, was subject to an intriguing experiment. The film was presided over by no fewer that 7 Thai directors (calling themselves `The Ronin Team’) – all assuming various roles […]

What flailed about in it’s infancy as a short film project quickly matured into a feature-length spawn for first time writer/director Paul Stanley-Ward’s Small Town Folk. His story is one we’re familiar with – […]

There is a warm spot deep in this cold heart of mine for those ‘lost’ films, the ones you hear constant whispers about, the films forever relegated to scratchy VHS bootlegs. But every once in a while the DVD gods […]

Think about it: Your young daughter is gang-raped and killed. Your grandmother is violently beaten. Your son is kidnapped and tortured. All taken advantage of for their inability to defend themselves, and for […]

Tobe, Tobe, Tobe. Wherefore art thou Tobe? I have seen some doozies by the man behind the classic Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but this one really takes the cake. I had figured maybe redemption was forthcoming […]

You know, there once was a time when a fella could get himself a cheap bottle of hooch with nary a care in the world. You scrounge up that last five bucks, head down to the corner store, grab yourself a pint of […]

A product of the living dead craze which saturated horror cinema in the 1970’s, Let Sleeping Corpses Lie (AKA The Living Dead At The Manchester Morgue) stands as one of the superior, and disappointingly lesser […]

Castle Freak. Let’s just muse on that title for a second. Doesn’t leave much to the imagination now does it? Honestly, this is the best they could come up with? OK, so let’s make a movie about a freak…in a […]

So where the heck has Bernard Rose been hiding? You would have thought that the guy responsible for the seminal classic, Candyman (and his collaboration with Clive Barker), would have had a much higher-profile […]

Nacho Cerda’s short film, Aftermath, is definitely one of the most controversial films of the last couple of decades. Its ruthless and realistic depiction of grisly autopsies and a sinister surgeon with an […]

Where else but in the underground independent scene would you find a splatterific gold nugget like this one? Apparently the director, Leif Jonker, and some of his crew sold their blood to partially finance the […]

This entry into the Guinea Pig series was the first film to be shot after Japan Home Video controversially took over the franchise. It signaled an interesting departure from the past format of the films, moving […]
