A so-so foursome: ghosts, vampires, a dead killer, and a spreading infection
You know how it is when you watch a horror film that doesn’t quite grab you, yet doesn’t actually suck. Well, I just struck a wave of four of them. DEAD STILL (2014) If the video game Fatal Frame were … Continue reading

Sometimes, predictable is better
Once in a while, if a film tries to do something different and fails miserably, you realize you really just need a good old derivative hack ‘n’ slash to make things better. Which is why I followed up Cassadaga with … Continue reading
Weekend viewings: the good outweighed the bad!
For a change, I watched a half-dozen films during the weekend and came out with more winners than losers. So let’s get to them. MODEL HUNGER (2016) B-movie queen Debbie Rochon gets behind the camera for her directorial debut, and … Continue reading

Ron Jeremy…scream king?
Without missing a beat, Ron Jeremy wormed his way from porn films to horror. And he has racked up appearances in dozens of horror flicks in the last decade. So naturally, I hunted down as many of them as I … Continue reading

Cleaning out the DVR 2
This trio depletes my current stash of recorded movies. That’s the good news. Bad news is, only one of them was worth my personal time and taste. ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE (2013) Only Lovers Left Alive, about a vampire couple … Continue reading
Christmas just isn’t the same anymore
Forget a good old-fashioned horror holiday killer, like Krampus or an evil Santa Claus. ATM and Knifepoint invite violent killers to the Christmas festivities…. ATM (2012) It’s P2 meets 247 F with an Urban Legend killer when a creep in … Continue reading

Not one, but THREE exploitation flicks about unwanted babies. And I have to confess…I actually liked one of them. DUMPSTER BABY (2000) Dumpster Baby is one of those movies I read really bad reviews about, and yet I still got … Continue reading
