Quick looks at modern horror time killers 13
Fairy tale horror, torture porn, a creature feature, a home invasion, and demons. I blast through five flicks that all have something going for them. BLACK FOREST (2012) Black Forest is like a horror/fantasy film, so don’t expect a scary … Continue reading
Deadly Dourif, a Jack Black clone vs. zombies, and another crawly demon girl
And here goes another mish-mosh of movies. And they weren’t so bad this time. DEATH AND CREMATION (2010) Death and Cremation reminded me of Stephen King’s The Apt Pupil, only without all the Nazi stuff. The old man this time … Continue reading
The creatures from the WB
Back in the late 90s, as the post-Scream horror era was beginning, a new television network called The WB (channel 11 here in New York) was just starting to find its ground, thanks to a bunch of shows aimed at … Continue reading
Mixing things up with 5 films loaded with evil forces, cannibals, and found footage
It was time to knock a bunch of films off my “need-to-see” list. Turns out several of them were definitely on the wrong list…. BANSHEE CHAPTER (2013) You can just move on from this one if you’ve seen dozens of … Continue reading
The horror of a 1990s trashy double feature
Having run out of frightening ideas, much of the early 1990s horror turned to campy, crappy, and crude horror and exploitation comedy. And nobody did it better than Fred Olen Ray and Troma! EVIL TOONS (1992) Fred Olen Ray … Continue reading

Heartless – it really is what’s on the inside that counts…
I should have no interest in a movie like Heartless. It’s deep. It’s meaningful. It has spiritual—and anti-spiritual—themes. It makes you think. And it’s nearly two hours long. In fact, the first time I tried to watch it, I turned … Continue reading

Quick looks at modern horror time killers part 9
This trio of films has its flaws, but I would definitely not pass up any of them. Each one has its own very distinct personality for sure. HELLBENDERS (2012) Hellbenders is a pretty fun premise—a bunch of deadbeat messes join … Continue reading

Gnarly 90s Nostalgia
Just like we get those DVD collections of old 80s VHS horror movies, it’s about time that obscure flix from the 90s VHS days start getting slapped together at a reasonable price. “The Gnarly 90s Nostalgia Collection” would be a … Continue reading

Quick looks at modern horror part 6
THE POSSESSION OF MICHAEL KING (2014) The Possession of Michael King is definitely out to grab the Paranormal Activity and The Last Exorcism crowd—but it’s kind of better than both. It’s much darker and more sadistic. And while it’s sort … Continue reading
