Gallery

This gallery contains 1 photo.

Space Jockey Reviews has always been intrigued with the unsolved case of The Black Dahlia. So, of course, a movie titled The Black Dahlia Haunting is a no-brainer as an addition on the SJR watch list. What’s it about?  “While … Continue reading

Nicotine Stains

Gallery

This gallery contains 14 photos.

Can cigarettes be your god, your religion, or at least the little voice within you that is as powerful as a god anyway?  Even before seeing Nicotine Stains, I would have answered with an expected, resounding yes.  After seeing the movie… Continue reading

Evil Dead (2013)

Gallery

This gallery contains 18 photos.

When I first heard that Evil Dead was being done again, I thought, like so many others, “Not another unneeded remake of a movie that’s already a classic—and better yet, just fine as it is.”  However, with great skepticism and hope… Continue reading

GUT

Gallery

This gallery contains 8 photos.

How much (or how little) does it take to push you to the extremes of who you are? How many unknown places within yourself still exist? How much might you be deluding yourself answering those questions now, taking too much credit for being “normal”? Continue reading

With a distinct, most appropriate Rod Serling style he said, inflecting just the right words, in just the righ way: “Here’s a tale from beyond that Space Jockey Reviews has watched since it was…but a premonition, a mere mystery of … Continue reading

A Loving Memory

Gallery

“Heaven isn’t wide enough for both of us.”

Or, perhaps Hell isn’t wide enough for both of us! Yes, that’s the more likely, ironic thought you (or your other self) will have, after watching A Loving Memory–the first in the Tortured Girl Trilogy by Herbivore Productions. Continue reading

The Unknown Alter Ego

Gallery

This gallery contains 9 photos.

Alter egos can be the damndest things! The person (or, in this case, the thing) our subconscious secretly wants to be can be the most dangerous and self-destructive of things, as well–a mystery that pursues our dreams… Continue reading

PAST DUE

Gallery

This gallery contains 3 photos.

The most frightening monsters are those that are real and among us, every day, haunting us, stalking us (although we don’t know it), in the most common of places we do know—the parks we visit, the roads we travel… Continue reading

RAVEN’S HOLLOW

Gallery

This gallery contains 4 photos.

Raven’s Hollow is a great short film sent to me just in time for Halloween! Even though it’s animated, it loses none of the scary effects needed for the season. Everything about it makes it (rather than just memorable) something that could even become a Halloween tradition… Continue reading

FAMILIAR

Gallery

This gallery contains 7 photos.

Fighting your inner demons has never been more intense than it is in Familiar—the new short horror film written and directed by Richard Powell.  “After 45 years of existence, my life is about to begin,” is the quote that best sums up the plot, without giving away a story as unique as any I’ve seen in a long time. Continue reading

CAMERA PHONE – What happened on March 20, 2010?

Gallery

This gallery contains 2 photos.

I’ve always been a fan of found-footage movies. When done well, they assault our senses, unlike any subjective, staged narrative ever could. They create fear that is real, because it occurs in situations that could happen to any of us, … Continue reading

MAMA is coming!

Gallery

This gallery contains 5 photos.

Back in May, Space Jockey Reviews featured and reviewed a spectacular short horror film called Mama. At the time, the word was that Guillermo del Toro was in negotiations to produce a full-length horror feature for Universal Pictures, based on the same short film. I am happy to say that little more than three months later… Continue reading

The Mockingbird

Gallery

This gallery contains 7 photos.

If you suddenly needed to care, selflessly, for another—a family member, or perhaps even a sibling who had once cared for you—giving up most of your life in the process, could you do it? Could you return, repay, or at least, “mock” the kindness given to you? Before you say yes… Continue reading

ORPHAN

Gallery

This gallery contains 9 photos.

As I’ve said many times before, evil children scare the #&*% out of me!  There’s just something extra creepy about kids—having such innocent appearances—being the sources of malevolence, mayhem, and, in the worst cases, even murder.  Esther (Isabelle Fuhrman), in Orphan, is… Continue reading

ZOMBIE WHISPERER

Gallery

This gallery contains 3 photos.

You’ve heard of horse whisperers, dog whisperers, and I’m sure even a few others I haven’t heard of myself.  I once even consulted a snake whisperer, after some unruly behavior from a rather large pet snake I once owned.  Yes, and even I thought that was bizarre—just as you are, no doubt, thinking the same thing.  However, one thing I’m sure you’ve yet to hear about is a zombie whisperer.

Gallery

This gallery contains 2 photos.

By Chris Rennirt “The eyes were lifeless, and lustreless, and seemingly pupilless, and I shrank involuntarily from their glassy stare to the contemplation of the thin and shrunken lips. They parted; and in a smile of peculiar meaning, the teeth … Continue reading

The Uninvited Visitor

Gallery
