More than enough reasons to avoid isolated roads in Texas…
I’m not even going to talk about the original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre other than to say it took me years to get up the nerve to watch it, and it is a film that still disturbs me today. So … Continue reading

Here are 2 backwoods horror flix that are pretty derivative. So naturally, I’m a fan of both. THE COTTAGE In the tradition of movies like From Dusk Till Dawn, Dead Birds, and Malevolence, the premise of 2008’s The Cottage is … Continue reading
Just when you thought it wasn’t safe to go in the woods…
If you love backwoods horror like Texas Chainsaw, Wrong Turn, Monster Man, 2000 Maniacs, then you will fully appreciate Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, a horror comedy satire that is absolutely in no way a horror film. But it is … Continue reading
