Boys battling beasts from beyond
Here are two very different types of indie horror comedies about goofy guys thrust into otherworldly situations. So did they charm the pants off me? ORCS! (2011) I have to admit, despite being a horror diehard, I loathe any sci-fi … Continue reading

Hey. When horror keeps coming at you in a never-ending stream, you’ll watch anything. Maybe that’s dulled my senses, but I didn’t hate either of these films. SUPER HYBRID (2010) The director of the U.S. version of One Missed Call … Continue reading

Back to the 90s with monsters, a killer clown…and the cannibal dead?
This trio isn’t exactly the cream of the 90s crop (very few films were), but it sure did keep me entertained with a mix of creature feature cheese, slasher slop, and backwoods bizarreness. THE TERROR WITHIN II (1991) A while … Continue reading

Blood, brutality, and sick sex in the 21st century
This was a rather perverse triple feature for a 3-day holiday weekend. I sure know how to pick ‘em. All three films are from the first decade of the new millennium, and interestingly, they decrease in shock value as time … Continue reading
Makeup man making movies in the new millennium
With a massive horror makeup effects career dating all the way back to 80s classics like Night of the Creeps, Evil Dead II, The Hidden, Phantasm II, 976-EVIL, Halloween 5, Bride of Re-Animator, and A Nightmare on Elm Street 5, … Continue reading
Head splitting headbangers and paranormal punk rockers
The guts, guitars, ghosts, and even gays in this trio of indie films deliver a variety of subgenres, yet all three films offer a touch of nostalgia for the days of high hair and mosh pits. HEAVY MENTAL (2009) … Continue reading

TRIPLE FEATURE TIME: torture porn, creature feature comedy, and backwoods slasher
This trio from 2006-2007 gives us a low budget yet hardcore gore porn experience, some cheesy SyFy slime creature fun, and a crazy backwoods family terrorizing kids at a cabin in the woods. These are probably not movies you’d seek … Continue reading

Beware Jerusalem, the Grand Canyon, and Holland Road
It’s a world of flying demons, angry ghost tribes, and pigheaded killers out there, which is why I choose to just stay home and watch bad horror movies. So how bad are these three? JERUZALEM (2015) Jeruzalem is everything I … Continue reading
STREAM QUEEN: undeniably compelling haunted attraction double feature
As bad as they can be, I’m a total sucker for low budget horror that pretty much looks like it was filmed over a weekend at some haunting attraction in the director’s hometown during the month of October. So I … Continue reading
Men, monsters, mutants, and music
It’s modern horror time! So which film from this eclectic trio was my favorite? Let’s take a look. BANG BANG BABY (2014) A sci-fi musical about 1960s rock ‘n’ roll and a chemical leak that turns people in a small … Continue reading
