Yes, it’s another “It” movie! And it’s a welcome addition to the list of 50s sci-fi favorites! “It” comes from outer space, even before the opening titles, as a bullet-shaped fireball, with sparks flying, on a crash course for Earth. Continue reading

Rachel Marks is the type of girl who makes most men wish (just for a moment) that they had a psychopathic, sadomasochistic, knife-wielding femme fatale for a stalker. She’s beautiful, blond, buxom, vivacious, spunky, sexy, happy, and always smiling. Continue reading

Dark House begins with three young girls riding bikes down a street that could be anywhere, towards a house you wouldn’t find anywhere. The house is gaudy, Victorian, and more odd than scary, until we hear a scream from within! Inside the house… Continue reading

A voyeuristic journey into a house and through a hallway leads us closer to a female voice in the distance. The voice, we see, is from a barefoot girl talking on the phone and painting her toes. She’s happy, carefree, and relaxed, as if nothing but the next social event is on her mind. Continue reading

Primal opens 12,000 years in the past with an aboriginal Australian, painting unknown figures on the side of a mountain. We get no clue about who he is or why he’s there; we only know, from foreboding peeping-tom perspectives… Continue reading

If a man is scared to death of water, he should probably stay out of the ocean. If he’s scared to death of water, and he’s having an affair with a woman, he should probably not get on a boat with the woman and her husband… Continue reading

Imagine what you would do if someone offered to resurrect a loved one from the dead, even for a few days, to wrap up loose ends, and say goodbye one last time. I know you’re thinking, “Of course, that’s ridiculous!” or something very similar. However… Continue reading

If I had only watched the trailer for Left Bank, I would have thought it was a fast-paced, action-packed special-effects-laiden horror film, possibly like the critics’ blurbs written on the DVD cover. Combining the two together, I might have even imagined… Continue reading

The setting is a wooded area, with nothing out of the ordinary—that is, until something very out of the ordinary runs by. Even if we know nothing about the movie, we know it’s not human. Out of a van scramble three men looking to… Continue reading

I always give an extra rocket to any movie with a title that makes me curious enough to watch it, when I might not have otherwise. Farmhouse is just such a generic title that would offer almost too much to the imagination with most genres. Continue reading

Tokyo Gore Police is so graphic in so many ways that I at first edited my original review in order to make it decent for the general public. But then, after careful (or perhaps careless) consideration and unnecessary honesty, I decided to… Continue reading

The Bunker is about a group of WWII German soldiers who take refuge from advancing Allied troops in a bunker haunted by their own personal demons of war. It’s an ultimate example of bad karma, with victims of war crimes coming back around to victimize their killers… Continue reading

Frostbitten is a Swedish-made horror movie about vampires with a Nazi SS bloodline. Yes, you heard that right–Nazi SS vampires! What a combination of the most overdone villains in movie history, you think? Well, wait! This dynamic duo of darkness… Continue reading

Five Across the Eyes is a truly horrible movie. However, before you interpret that, stop and think. Shouldn’t all good horror movies be horrible? Continue reading

Scarce is the story of three guys, traveling across country, who get lost and wind up in hillbilly hell. You might already be saying, “Okay, I’ve seen this before.” But wait! This one… Continue reading

I have read reviews that praise Laid to Rest as one of the best movies of its kind, while I have also read those that condemn it as one of the worst. Ultimately, with this movie most especially, it’s all about what exactly one expects from a slasher film. Continue reading

After reading reviews of Eden Log, and after seeing the movie myself, I agree that you either love it or hate it. There is little room for a middle of the road reaction to this one. As with so many others, it’s all about what you expect and appreciate from movies that break the mold of formula and predictability. Continue reading

I will never forget seeing, for the first time, the Space Jockey, in his alien cockpit, fossilized on the big screen. Since then, back in 1979, I have, with each repeated viewing of the movie Alien, only imagined the mysteries behind this surreal specimen, preserved and painted permanently in my mind.
