Will the Tales from the Dark anthology films get your ghost?

Think twice before visiting a woman at a cabin in the woods
Ghosts, demons, crazed killers…there’s no telling what you’re being lured toward when you go to visit a woman at a remote location in the woods, as demonstrated in The Sacred, Visible Scars, and Blood Lust. THE SACRED (2012) Director Brett … Continue reading

HP Lovecraft goes indie in a double feature
While I’ve never been an HP Lovecraft fan, I’ve always been a huge fan of schlocky 1980s movies loosely based on his works. So my feelings about this two films from the new millennium pretty much make total sense. THE … Continue reading

Don’t look in the basement at home because they’re watching
My latest streaming marathon—three very different subgenres of horror—left me wanting more, even if each movie had its moments. DON’T LOOK IN THE BASEMENT 2 (2015) This is pretty cool. This direct sequel to the 1973 film Don’t Look in … Continue reading

Observance and The Perfect Husband – it’s man vs. woman in these two from Artsploitation Films
One is sort of supernatural, the other sort of slasher, they’re both slow burners that see man pitted against woman, both feature characters dealing with the loss of a child, and they both deliver some thrills, chills, and twists. I … Continue reading
Ghosts in a train, ghosts in an apartment building. Boo.
There was a time when I loved ghost movies. But I’m no longer twelve, the days of Poltergeist and House are long gone, and bumps, creaks, fleeting apparitions, and slamming doors aren’t enough to keep me focused on a movie. … Continue reading

Stream Queen: ghosts gone wrong
Not your everyday haunted house movies…unfortunately. These three ghost movies are ultimately disappointing in their attempts to be unique rather than to just serve up some good old scares. ALTERGEIST (2014) When will I learn to just stop watching movies … Continue reading

IT HAPPENED AFTER SCREAM Part 9: the demise of the Urban Legend franchise
Urban Legend is pretty much a post-Scream slasher classic in my book, and also one of the major theatrical releases of the era. It has a great cast, suspense and scares, an awesome killer, chase scenes, and death scenes based … Continue reading
STREAM QUEEN: Looking for something other than the usual?
If you like independent film that doesn’t bother to follow mainstream protocol, here are six that don’t exactly give us the predictable, and cover various subgenres—but that doesn’t mean all of them were up my alley. THE SCENESTERS (2009) … Continue reading
