Malevolence—a modern slasher made by a man who loves old school slashers of the 80s
With all the copycat films that came out in the wake of Scream (the ultimate homage to 80s slashers), it’s sad that Malevolence has gone mostly unnoticed, but also completely unappreciated by many who have seen it. It even got … Continue reading
Madman—not your ordinary early 80s Friday the 13th ripoff.
Only two years after the release of the original Friday the 13th, Madman was one of many that followed the same summer camp stalker format. But this is one really bizarre backwoods slasher. I instantly loved it because the opening … Continue reading

In the 1983 classic The House on Sorority Row, a bunch of sorority sisters unintentionally (sort of) kill their mean house mother and dump her body in a muck-filled pool in the backyard. Of course, you can’t keep a good … Continue reading
Rob Zombie’s Halloween II: Michael Myer’s White Trash Revenge
I’ve admitted that I don’t hate everything about Rob Zombie’s Halloween, which I blogged about here. I am so glad that I failed to make it to the theaters to see Halloween II…although even then I would have gotten a different experience … Continue reading
High Tension garners horror fan tension (SPOILERS!!!)
One of the most raved about films of this decade, the French horror film High Tension has just as many haters as it does lovers and generates huge arguments. And I’m not talking about the fact that it portrays a … Continue reading
What I don’t love about the Rob Zombie Halloween remake
And it has nothing to do with a Halloween 1978 purist attitude. The answers have come to me thanks to multiple viewings of the film. From the very start, I pretty much separated this film from the original (not surprisingly a … Continue reading
Brat Packer finally does a slasher
2000 slasher Cut is by director Kimble Rendall, who took a very long break before making the awesome shark movie Bait (my blog here). But Cut is a must see if you are one of those 80s whores like me. … Continue reading
