[Remember This?] ‘Freddy Vs. Jason’ And Being Careful What You Wish For

Gremlins is being re-booted. Ghostbusters 3 is apparently being remade. I’m sure there’s a large audience for these somewhere out there, but after hearing from you guys it’s not necessarily people who make up the BD community. I think that’s a wise stance in some ways. I’m not saying these films can’t be good –… Read More

5 Horror Cereals From The Past!!!

I hate cereal.

The only person who got away with this was Quentin Tarantino, since he basically started it Pulp… Read More

5 Underrated Horror Movies!!!

Time heals all things. For me, this rings especially true of film criticism and the public’s assessment of a film’s quality. When John Carpenter’s The Thing was released in 1982, it was rejected by audiences and critics alike. Meanwhile, MGM’s remake of The Amityville Horror grossed well over $100M worldwide upon its release in 2005…. Read More

Theaters Blame “R-Rated” Movies For Lower Ticket Sales, I Beg To Differ

Take theater owners for example. Last weekend at the industry convention CinemaCon in Las Vegas many of them pleaded… Read More
