Remade in the 2000s: De Palma, Cohen, and Carpenter

Posted on August 30, 2018 by Daniel

They’re some of my faves—Sisters (1973), It’s Alive (1974), and The Fog (1980). In the new millennium they all got the remake treatment. So, were they treated well? You’ll need a working knowledge of the original films to get what … Continue reading →

50s creatures and 60s killers

Posted on August 12, 2018 by Daniel

Posted on August 10, 2018 by Daniel

They were each released between 4 – 6 years apart through the course of a decade. They feature a surprising number of familiar faces. You might not be able to remember which is which. Heck, you may not even realize … Continue reading →

Talk to the hand…and beg it not to kill you!

Posted on July 30, 2018 by Daniel

I love giving a good hand blog, so I wrap my fist around three spanning two decades in this one. THE HAND (1981) Hard to believe Oliver Stone directed this rather forgettable 1981 horror flick that feels more like a … Continue reading →
