Review: Drag Me To Hell

2009-10-20T05:32:00.002-04:00

Being a fan of Sam Raimi from the first time I watched Evil Dead I was very excited to find out that he was finally making another horror film. I imagine most of today’s generation know Raimi for his Spiderman films and little else. Of course he started in horror and became a very well known director for his wicked sense of humor and visual style. When Drag Me to Hell hit theatres I quickly

Trick R' Treat - DVD REVIEW

Everything you've heard is true! Michael Dougherty's long awaited, studio mishandled Trick R' Treat is the best Halloween Movie to come out in 30 years! How this movie went direct to DVD and is not in theatres right now scaring the crap out of huge audiences is still a mystery. Did the studio really not no how to market this Halloween gem or was there another reason? I doubt we'll find out

Check it out below:After watching it a couple times I must say this film looks slick, atmospheric and does a pretty good job of making Freddy Scary again. I had my doubts but this looks to be at

2009-07-13T09:14:00.008-04:00

Back in 1996 a TV show called Millennium shocked American Audiences with its dark take on crime in our society and where it might be leading us as we neared the Year 2000. Retired FBI profiler, Frank Black, tracked down the darkest and most terrifying killers each and every week. He worked with a mysterious consulting firm call The Millennium Group who weren't content to "Sit back and hope for

Halloween 2 New Poster puts Family first

2009-06-19T15:00:00.004-04:00

In case you haven’t already found it elsewhere you should check out the new Halloween 2 poster, which isn’t titled H2 in this one, on the left. The general consensus seems to be that this is a pretty badass poster but I have to disagree. I’m not loving it at all. Brutality alone does not a good poster make and the very photoshopped sky and rain the background is pretty dull.

Review: Marilyn Manson's High End of the Low

2009-06-09T00:07:00.004-04:00

The old saying, "You can't go home again" has always held true. Many have tried, college drop outs, artists, teeny bopper parents and even presidents but none have succeeded. Sometimes it is a catastrophe like Spielberg's excrutiatingly mediocre sequel Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Other times it can be not a little less painful like Marilyn Manson's latest record, The

Madballs Are Back

2009-04-29T15:54:00.002-04:00

If your a child of the 80's then you already know what Madballs are and no doubt have warm and fuzzy memories of using them to frighten your parents or siblings. When I was a kid I made a big effort to get every single mad ball that was released. These things were so popular they even had cheap knock-off's you could find at dollar stores released by rival companies. As a kid who ate, slept

H2 Trailer Now Online

2009-04-24T15:21:00.002-04:00

The New trailer for Rob Zombie's Sequel to his much maligned remake of Halloween is now online. I have to say its a slick trailer and its filling me with questions about the storyline. It looks like we'll be giving a lot of information as to why Michael is doing what he's doing. Taken on its own it might be interesting but I think Hardcore Halloween Fans are going to be pissed. Check out the

2009-04-21T00:58:00.003-04:00

Trick or Treat is one of those movies that has all this positive buzz behind it but has been treated like a red-headed step child by its studio. Its been in the can now for about 2 years and lot of reviewers have been calling it a great Halloween movie that is destined to become a cult classic. I'm dying to see it so I'm happy to hear that it will be getting put on DVD and Blu-Ray this October.

2009-04-16T12:05:00.002-04:00

One of the best things about the GrindHouse double feature last year was the fake movie trailers in between. One of the best was Thanksgiving by Eli Roth (director of Hostel). Roth has announced he's finishing up a script for a big Sci-Fi Extravaganza and wants to immediately follow that up with Thanksgiving Full Length feature! MTV quotes him as saying: “The plan is this: I want to do a huge

Last week Director Rob Zombie showed off a music video for a fictional band that will apparently appear in the film at some point. Click here to view that.

Quarantine Horror Movie Review

2009-03-31T14:06:00.005-04:00

If you've been reading reviews on this site for long you know we're not exactly fans of the shaky cam or first person films such as Cloverfield. Skaky cam horror films to me just seem lazy. It feels like these are directors that don't know how to tell an effective and scary horror story without putting the camera in the action as one of the characters. Quarantine is a film that manages to be

Japanese Trailer for Blood: The Last Vampire

2009-03-23T16:11:00.002-04:00

The more I see of this movie the more I like it. Its fantastic that a mainstream horror flick is getting a Asian female lead for once. We usually see Asian characters become White Americans, most recently with Street Fighter where a Chinese character was played by a White American girl. This new Trailer for Blood: The Last Vampire comes from Japan and features a bad rock band in the second

The Winchester Mystery House

2009-03-22T21:27:00.003-04:00

The Winchester Mystery Houseby Angela SargentiThe Winchester Mystery House, located in San Jose, California is haunted.Maybe not in the traditional sense; you won’t find any ghosts popping out at you, and you’ll have a pretty uneventful tour, but it’s haunted all the same. Haunted by Sarah Winchester’s madness.Once you get a good look around, you realize just how insane poor Sarah really was. As

Review: RED

2009-03-22T21:15:00.003-04:00

You should watch this DVD, even though you may never have heard of it; even if you have, you should watch it, even if you love animals and you think it’ll make you bawl like a baby (it will.) Those of you who have heard of it probably already know the plot by now, know about the three teenagers who come to rob the old guy at gunpoint while he’s just sitting at the lake fishing, know that they

REVIEW: Let the Right One In

2009-03-22T21:04:00.003-04:00

I'm not a big fan of Vampire movies or Vampire culture. They are the most overused monsters in cinema history, Even more so than the zombie. The vast majority of Vampire films paint the creature as an outcast, misunderstood, depressed, and alone. Its not surprising that vampire culture has such a large audience of preteens and teenagers alike. Even when I was in High school I was reading

Trailer for Park Chan-Wook's 'Thirst'

2009-03-16T14:25:00.002-04:00

Park Chan-Wook has made some very interesting and creative movies. He helped to usher in the Korean Film industry's renaissance with His best film 'OldBoy' which blew my mind when I first watched it. Now He's moved on to Horror with his new vampire film 'Thirst'. The trailer is embedded below.I think Vampire stories are the most overused and poorly done movie monsters in horror history. So

The House of the Devil Official website and Trailer debut!

2009-03-16T14:11:00.002-04:00

After seeing the trailer for Ti West's latest indie horror film, The House of the Devil, I'm really psyched about it! Ti West has been one of the most interesting independent filmmakers working today. His horror film The Roost was a throw back to 80's era movies and Trigger Man was a very well paced and suspenseful survival story. The House of the Devil is set in the 1980's as a College Student

Halloween 2 News Round Up

For a movie that seems to be hated by most film critics and horror fans there sure is a lot of Coverage going around for Rob Zombie's Halloween 2.

Given her

The Last House on the Left

2009-03-10T15:55:00.002-04:00

I was never really a fan of the original Last House from 1972 but I appreciated it for what it was. The original was very graphic and disturbing for its time, by today's standards it seems pretty tame to me. The Buzz surrounding the remake of Last House is pretty good. This one is supposedly going further with the rape scenes and gore than the previous one even though its mustered a "R" rating

Trailer for Blood: The Last Vampire

2009-03-08T18:33:00.003-04:00

Based on the the popular Anime of the same name, Blood: The Last Vampire is about a hot Asian school girl who kills vampires based on the trailer. I haven't seen the anime so I may be off a bit on story details. Either way if your into Asian school girls kicking vampire ass, and who isn't, then this movie is for you. Its directed by Chris (Kiss of the Dragon) Nahon and stars Gianna Jun. Its
