Gallery

It is almost amazing that a movie about warring conservatives and liberals would be made during such volatile political times.  Perhaps now, as things are worse than ever, such a movie wouldn’t be made; perhaps a bit earlier was just… Continue reading

DEAD MARY

Some of the best horror films are those in which the monsters are the people around us, our friends and family, and anyone but the obvious, overt physical monsters we expect.  These monsters look just like our friends, relatives… Continue reading

THE DEADLY SPAWN

Gallery

There’s nothing like a good B-grade sci-fi/horror flick from the 80s!  Yes!  From bygone times comes the best in practical monster effects, no-holds-barred guts and gore, and a charm to it all that never gets old… Continue reading

SARGAD (Wounded)

Gallery

I’ve often thought that revenge provides the best motives for the best horror movies.  Revenge can turn ordinary people into monsters, at least for the time needed to cut, hack, slash and torture their way to happiness… Continue reading

The Nightmare (Der Nachtmahr) 2015 – Film Review & ‘My Inner Demons’

Gallery

This gallery contains 11 photos.

I’m an avid believer in the endless possibilities that the horror genre is capable of, that it’s a far larger, more diverse genre than many give it credit for.  While I do appreciate how the genre can show the ugly, uncomfortable, and immense darkness present in our world… Continue reading

If you could have your choice of any birthday gift, what would it be?  A diamond ring, a pearl necklace, tickets to your favorite vacation spot, a car, or any of the other usual, popular choices?  Or, being honest, would it be something totally different!  Could it, perhaps, be… Continue reading

LANA: Folk Horror at Its Finest

Gallery

This gallery contains 19 photos.

I absolutely love a good horror film based on centuries-old folklore and superstition!  When done right, the richness of myth and legends become tangible realities–gritty, more than merely imagined.  When done well, they bring to life the passion of ancestors before us… Continue reading

SHADOW PUPPETS

Years ago, at a local Half Price bookstore, while looking through a vat of $2.00 DVDs (the ones they really want to get rid of), I happened upon a movie called Shadow Puppets.  From the title alone, I thought it… Continue reading

Thoughts and Theories I Had While Watching Stephen King’s IT (2017)

Gallery

This gallery contains 1 photo.

With earplugs in hand, I went to watch Stephen King’s It (2017’s remake of the original 1990 cult classic – a fact that surprisingly a lot of people around me do not know!). I had been traumatized by the movie once when I was a child (not remembering much except for the creepy clown sneaking children into underground pipes)… Continue reading

Uninvited

One of the most important elements any horror film can have is atmosphere–a dominant mood, emotional tone, or environment that surrounds and envelops us as viewers, making us feel that we are a part of it all as we watch. Continue reading

The Autopsy of Jane Doe

Gallery

This gallery contains 9 photos.

I have used the word “visceral” to describe many horror films fully deserving the term’s meanings: “1. felt in or as if in the internal organs of the body, 2. of, relating to, or located on or among the body organs.”  However, NEVER, before The Autopsy of Jane Doe, have I seen a movie so truly… Continue reading

Tony

Gallery

This gallery contains 8 photos.

Tony (written and directed by Gerard Johnson) is a movie exactly about what it is sometimes subtitled–a “London Serial Killer”–ironically, far from the banality implied.  As the tagline says, “It’s always the quiet ones.”  Yes!  If ever there was a misfit man who could be a killer, flaunting his psycho profile to the world, all the while looking utterly harmless, it would be a man like Tony… Continue reading

Bethany

I have never been abused.  Thank God and whoever else for that!  However, I have often wondered how my life might be different had I been so unfortunate.  I have wondered how horrors inflicted upon me by a monster (of the human kind) could have made a monster of me… Continue reading

Hellraiser vs. Event Horizon: Liberate Tutamet Ex Inferis

Gallery

This gallery contains 15 photos.

I have read articles and participated in discussions comparing Event Horizon (1997) to Hellraiser (1988) and vice versa, more than a few times.  The similarities are obvious, although some say it’s like comparing the proverbial apples and oranges.  Some say the fact that Hellraiser came first… Continue reading
