Just when you thought it wasn’t safe to go in the woods…

A fistful of reasons Bruce Campbell should have just made Evil Dead 4…

Direct to DVD: Kevin Tenney and the Night of the Brain Dead Demons

Dark Rising: When you need a mindless sci-fi/horror fix (and a hottie fix)
I caught this 2007 film Dark Rising: Bring Your Battle Axe on Showtime Beyond, a very cool channel that programs mostly cheesy or direct-to-DVD horror/sci-fi titles like the ones you’d see on SyFy, only without commercials and without any censorship. … Continue reading
