While Space Jockey Reviews planned to spread more bloody-good news about Rabid (2019), we now have some not-so-good news.  Recently, Twisted Twins Jen & Sylvia Soska were suspended from Twitter for simply posting images from their upcoming film. Continue reading

The Eagle Huntress

Gallery

This gallery contains 10 photos.

Almost as a rule, I review only films in the genres of horror, science fiction and fantasy, as well as what we deem, with our discretion, real-world horror.  The Eagle Huntress (2016, directed by Otto Bell) is none of those genres, not in the very least.  It is, however… Continue reading

Hailing all explorers of out-of-this-world cinema!  Space Jockey Reviews’ radar recently picked up transmissions hot off the intergalactic presses.  Shooting to top priority here at mission control is a new film in the works by director/writer Steve Squall, from Louisville, Kentucky… Continue reading

JULIA 17

Gallery

This gallery contains 25 photos.

Just as incest, abuse and abandonment are real-world horrors, so is Julia 17–a surreal, stream-of-consciousness mind trip, where images and events flow as dreams, or sometimes as nightmares.  But, Julia’s nightmares… 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

Gallery

This gallery contains 7 photos.

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

Seize the Night

This gallery contains 8 photos.

A blurr of lights focus to a cityscape, a black-gloved hand slides across a metal railing, and a wanted poster features a sketch and photo of a dark-haired beauty.  Emerging from the night is the female of fatal pulchritude herself–a sleek, ivory-skinned siren, in a floor-length trench coat and skin-tight leather.

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

VooDoo

Gallery

This gallery contains 14 photos.

I’ve always liked that quote from Dante Alighieri’s epic poem, The Divine Comedy.  I’ve always wanted to use it as the prelude to a movie review.  However, previously, I hadn’t found just the right movie deserving of it’s message.  Finally, VooDoo is that movie. Continue reading

The Dark Tapes

Gallery

This gallery contains 8 photos.

I always love a good found-footage horror film.  However, finding a good one is not so easy these days.  Since the first mainstream example in the genre–The Blair Witch Project in 1999–such a film with anything original and different to offer is about as easy as finding a new way to spell horror. Continue reading

The Devil’s Rock

The Devil’s Rock begins at night, June 5th 1944, as the camera pans down from a moonlit sky, to the waters of the English Channel.  Two men are paddling, in their kayak, to the shore of Forau Island, five miles Northeast of Guernsey.  It’s the eve of D-Day, and Allied commandos Captain Ben Grogan (Craig Hall) and Sergeant Joseph Tane (Karlos Drinkwater) have orders to destroy… Continue reading

Enter Nowhere (the supernatural thriller/mystery from director Jack Heller) is the story of three people who find themselves lost in the same unknown place, in a wooded area, near a ramshackle cabin in the woods.  Every attempt to escape the cabin, trekking in a seemingly straight line away from it, only leads back to it again… Continue reading
