A psycho killer, the boogeyman, and a ghost
It’s the battle of the bad boys! I take a quick look at The Basement, Boogeyman, and The Summoning. THE BASEMENT (2011) This indie film wastes no time in getting to the action—and then becomes kind of actionless for quite … Continue reading

Oh granny, what a big axe you have!
Kill, Granny, Kill! is how you do an indie backwoods Bible-thumping killer granny movie! Don’t take it seriously, but don’t make it all-out comedy. Just make everything that happens so wrong it’s right…and kind of funny. Out at her old … Continue reading

Debbie Rochon has an axe to grind…into the boobs of other b-movie babes!
Axe to Grind is pretty much a love letter to Debbie Rochon. She plays an actress who finds her scream queen status drying up because her producer/lover has moved on to a new b-movie babe. There’s only one way to … Continue reading

I visited Girl House…and I liked it!
Sometimes I need a break from all the insanity modern horror brings these days. Girl House came along at just the right time. This babe gets back to basics. The stylish intro synth music makes it sound like this is … Continue reading

Early 90s horror vs. late 90s horror!
In this look at 90s horror, I take on a little of everything—killer baboon, The Warrens before The Conjuring, killer lizards, serial killer tutor, and computer time travel. SHAKMA (1990) Shakma is a perfect 80s to 90s transition movie. It … Continue reading

This is no throwback slasher
A while back I blogged about totally whacked grindhouse Halloween slasher flick Splash Area by director George Clarke (blog here). So how to follow up such a twisted indie horror? Make another one just as out there. Actually, I think … Continue reading

You’ve seen it all before, but is it worth seeing again?
Familiar fear can be comforting. So I take on 2:13, Almost Human, and The Canal! 2:13 (2009) In the tradition of Seven, the Hannibal films, and every other serial killer profiling movie you’ve ever seen, star and screenplay writer Mark … Continue reading
So what exactly are the Rites of Spring?
Rites of Spring is another in a growing trend of movies that begin with a bunch of bad guys committing a crime and ending up in a horror scenario (From Dusk Till Dawn, The Cottage, Malevolence, Dead Birds, etc.). Such … Continue reading
Tooth Fairy double feature!
Two witchy old ladies that exchange teeth for gifts, have hideous faces and wear black cloaks, and just love to kill children. Fun, fun, fun! It’s Darkness Falls vs. The Tooth Fairy. DARKNESS FALLS (2003) Darkness Falls came out at … Continue reading
