Vampire action horror double feature 2007
Sometimes, indie filmmakers can work magic out of next to no money. Other times, a budget really matters. Let’s look at Chasing Darkness and Rise: Blood Hunter. CHASING DARKNESS (2007) Chasing Darkness is micro-budget home-brewed stuff, the dead giveaway being the usual blaring … Continue reading

You never know what kind of creeps you’re renting to….
The Blood Let is one of those indie films that cares little about streamlining its horror plot, instead playing by its own quirky rules (or no rules). This makes for a film that delivers some pretty bizarre scenes and situations … Continue reading

A trio of supernatural fiends from the late 80s
VHS vamps and demons! I look at three cheesy films from 1988, 1989, and 1990. They would have made a semi-fulfilling triple feature rental back then, and they’d make a good bargain bin 3-on-1 DVD release today. All three suffer … Continue reading
Afflicted vs. A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night
If you have to watch one movie about creatures of the night, which of these two should it be? Depends on your tastes. A GIRL WALKS HOME ALONE AT NIGHT (2014) A Persian film by an Iranian director…filmed in California. … Continue reading

Demons, vampires, mining monsters, and automobiles
It’s time for another quickie smorgasbord. Are any of these films worth a watch? Depends on what you’re looking for. BLACK CADILLAC (2003) The Car. Joyride. The Hitcher. Road Games. If you’re into these kinds of terror on the road … Continue reading

Sodomite serial killer vs. the fierce and fabulous blood sucker
I look at two completely different movies with one thing in common. Beware the blood hungry monsters who also crave man ass in Someone’s Knocking at the Door and Vamperifica! SOMEONE’S KNOCKING AT THE DOOR (2009) Sex, sodomy, drug trips, and crass comedy. … Continue reading
The rest of Herschell GOREdon Lewis!
I’ve covered the Herschell Gordon Lewis Blood Trilogy here and here. After those films, Lewis continued grinding the meat…I mean, churning out the horror flicks. Things got campier, more disgusting, and more cheesy bad. The only reason to watch some … Continue reading

Summer of Blood – a vampire with a snarky attitude
If you’re a fan of the biting, sarcastic, and dry humor trends—think Curb Your Enthusiasm, Modern Family, The Office—then vampire comedy Summer of Blood is not to be missed. The story of a city dude who’s really bad at interpersonal … Continue reading

Triple bite from a decade of vampire comedies
The 1980s ushered in a new decade of horror spoofs, and one creature of the night that was often took the brunt of the joke was the vampire. Conveniently, three vampire comedies from that era have hit Blu-ray simultaneously, so … Continue reading

Teenage Space Vampires – when the alien vampires are scary but the movie isn’t
The 1999 film Teenage Space Vampires is a throwback to creature features of the 1950s and 1960s…right down to its rather “family fun” feel. I believe it was actually made for TV. It’s the kind of film you show to … Continue reading
