GUT

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

“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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

A young blonde is disturbed, during the night, by loud knocking at her door.  She assumes it’s someone she knows (John, she says) doing something unwelcome he’s done before—perhaps playing a practical joke, or worse, being an ex-boyfriend stalker.  Who knows? Continue reading

TRESPASSER

Gallery

As Trespasser begins, an alarm clock wakes a man in bed. He could be any man, but soon we feel and see that he is not; quickly he becomes not only a stranger but something far worse. Flashbacks and scenes from the moment tell a grim tale of something terribly wrong—of something getting even worse. Continue reading

MAMA

Gallery

This gallery contains 4 photos.

Short horror films have the extra difficult job of becoming horrific within a much smaller amount of time, without seeming contrived, forced, or hurried. On top of all else, to be really good, they must develop the characters and make them believable; they must also establish, if not a full plot, at least something that makes the short experience still worth the viewer’s time. Continue reading

EASY PREY

Amidst candlelit ambiance with wine and ice cream, an elderly man sits across a table from a younger woman—a beautiful blonde with bright eyes, luscious lips, a slender body, and…well…you get the idea—she’s enough to make men of all ages take notice. Continue reading

THE GUEST

More and more often, I find short films that truly deserve a full review, alongside any of the most mainstream movies out there. The Guest is just such a movie that deserves its very own cinema showcase here on Space Jockey Reviews… Continue reading

ORAL FIXATION

Gallery

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

GRAVE ENCOUNTERS

DARK HOUSE

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
