Theater geek outcasts face some serious Drac drama
Richard Griffin’s indie flix celebrate the sex, gore, and campy goodness of 70s and 80s horror, exploitation, and grindhouse movies (I blog about most of them here) so I’m always psyched when a new one comes around. This time he … 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

Battle of the indie slashers: Gore, Quebec vs. Sledge!
I love me some backwoods slasher indies with that 80s throwback feel. So I had to make Gore, Quebec and Sledge a double feature based on the titles alone! But they’re two very different experiences. GORE, QUEBEC (2014) Gore, Quebec … Continue reading
