Familiar fear can be comforting. So I take on 2:13, Almost Human, and The Canal! 2:13 (2009) In the tradition of Seven, the Hannibal films, and every other serial killer profiling movie you’ve ever seen, star and screenplay writer Mark … Continue reading
Horror house cleaning: 90s trash
Ah. The nostalgia of all the shitty horror that pretty much went straight to video or straight to cable in the 90s. But out of the six films I look at here, one actually breaks the mold and hints at … Continue reading

Quick looks at modern horror time killers 5
Executed killer’s soul lives on. Ghosts/aliens. Something’s in the water (maybe). A horny psychic possessed chick. I take on four more modern films. HOLD YOUR BREATH (2012) Hold Your Breath is pretty much your typical slasher, with a group of … Continue reading
