SARS, Sperm, zombies, horny babies, and ghosts. What the Wantha?
I was in Thai horror comedy heaven while watching wacky zombedy SARS Wars, so I immediately had to check imdb to see what else director Taweewat Wantha had done. The Sperm. THE SPERM??? You can guess what I consumed immediately … Continue reading

Evil skinheads, a killer croc, and a slasher anthology
I’m going to make this one a quickie about three recent films, because there simply isn’t much to say… GREEN ROOM (2015) This may be another case of me being around the horror block way too much in the past … Continue reading
Evil goes to camp, monsters prowl the woods, and Keanu gets invaded
Maybe it says something about me that the only movie in this trio that even halfway did it for me was the one that slapped a grindhouse filter over the film… CAMP HELL (2010) Horror never gets tired of bashing … Continue reading
2016 creatures and demons are no match for an indie horror anthology
October is a big month on SyFy, with premiere horror movies every week. Two of the newbies for this season were creature features, but neither got me in the Halloween spirit as much as a horror anthology I streamed on … Continue reading
A trio of new millennium monsters

2 out of 3 ain’t bad—actually, they’re both pretty damn good
