Now here is one grisly item. Saw is the perfect retaliation to the recent onslaught of PG-13 fluff horror flicks, and will probably amount to being the most sick and disturbing film of the year. The premise is simple, but effective. Two strangers, Dr. Lawrence Gordon (Elwes) and Adam (Whannell),… Continue reading
Anacondas, subtitled The Hunt For The Blood Orchid, is a cataclysmic miscalculation. One may have drawn that conclusion from the equally horrid trailers that have been surfacing, but no, I chose to give it a solid chance because I didn’t find its predecessor, 1997’s Anaconda, to be as bad as… Continue reading
At last, a horror remake worth the watch. Like the recent remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Dawn Of The Dead had hefty expectations to live up to. Unlike the recent Chainsaw Massacre, this film fulfills those expectations – for the most part. George A. Romero’s Dawn Of The Dead,… Continue reading
Broken Lizard’s Club Dread emerges as one of the better horror parodies, which if you ask me has been done to death. From Scream to Scary Movie to even last year’s bizarre Cabin Fever, the horror genre has gone from horror to horror-comedy in a matter of a few years.… Continue reading
The most glaring sign of how times have changed between the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre and this update is that we are given a back story to Leatherface’s (or his real name, Thomas Hewitt, as made apparent in this film) madness. No longer can we attend movies where there are… Continue reading
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Exhibit A in the evidence that no more video games, under any conditions, should be made into movies. We have Double Dragon, Super Mario Bros., Mortal Kombat, etc. Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse, this descent into hell arrives. The… Continue reading
It is in writing a review for this film that one realizes just how silly the whole premise is. Freddy Krueger just is not scary anymore. At least that’s the word on Elm Street. If people are not afraid of him, how is he supposed to enter their dreams and… Continue reading
Before you even start to read this review, take a gander at the talent that is listed to the left. Good director, good actors. So good, in fact, that I cannot recall a film with so much talent that falls apart as fast as Dreamcatcher does. The story starts out… Continue reading
“A carload of six teens find themselves trapped in the woods of West Virginia, hunted down by ‘cannibalistic mountain men grossly disfigured through generations of in-breeding.’” – IMDB plot synopsis I won’t lie to you; this plot synopsis definitely caught my eye. And strangely enough, that one sentence essentially sums… Continue reading
We can all relax now. House of 1000 Corpses has been released. To the vast majority of readers, that phrase will mean nothing. However, this is a film that I had actually been anticipating since I heard that Rob Zombie’s name was attached to it. After making rounds through the… Continue reading
