Gay horror with a lot less camp and a lot more terror!

Posted on January 20, 2014 by Daniel

Beware the slasher with a little Latin flavor!

Posted on January 10, 2014 by Daniel

As with every unheard of slasher I see on cable, I expected nothing from Beware. Kids on a road trip, a crazy hick trying to warn them away, legend of an abused boy, etc. But when you start off a … Continue reading →

Yay! More derivative 1980s backwoods slashers!!!

Posted on December 20, 2013 by Daniel

If the title Inbred isn’t a dead giveaway, think See No Evil meets 2000 Maniacs….

Posted on October 11, 2013 by Daniel

While not a particularly frightening experience, Inbred should satisfy fans of the backwoods inbreed genre and splatter gore. It’s a smorgasbord of dark humor, torture, and siege film, all delivered in a kindler, gentler way. Two youth workers take a … Continue reading →

Where’s the darkness in Lord of Darkness?

Posted on September 25, 2013 by Daniel

Horror Humor! Monster Man in a Killer Pad

Posted on August 20, 2013 by Daniel

I love goofy comic actor Eric Jungmann. He has appeared on numerous TV shows and in teen flicks like Varsity Blues and Not Another Teen Movie. But I’m more a fan because of his horror resume! He was a background … Continue reading →

Posted on June 26, 2013 by Daniel

I finally got the “unseen edition” of Shrooms on Blu-ray…which has something like 1 minute more of footage. Whatever. Here goes. What could possibly go wrong when a bunch of kids heads into the Ireland wilderness in search of drugs, … Continue reading →

Things are getting scary at The Gay Bed and Breakfast of Terror

Posted on June 15, 2013 by Daniel

Gay horror films are few and far between, and they always seem to get a bad rap. Despite seeing The Gay Bed and Breakfast of Terror trashed online, turns out it’s one of my favorite gay slashers (of about 2 … Continue reading →

Severance – when good backwoods slashers take a wrong turn

Posted on April 8, 2013 by Daniel

The premise of the 2006 horror comedy Severance is pretty straightforward; a busload of employees from a huge weapons company head into the mountains on a business retreat and are then picked off in brutal and gory ways. The quirky humor … Continue reading →
