Evan Romero

Evan Romero has been a horror fan since watching “Leprechaun” at the age of five. Aside from watching and writing about horror flicks, he delights in torturing friends with Z-grade movies. He’s also an unabashed Andy Milligan fan, God help him.

Review – LEATHERFACE (2017)

Of all the horror franchises, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre has been one of the most execrable. Starting at a very high point in 1974, the series has done absolutely nothing but go straight down the shitter like a mushy turd (aside from a stubborn floater here and there). When it …

Book Review – ‘A Life Removed’ by Jason Parent (2017)

(Note: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.) After reading the pile of hogwash detailed in my last review, even an average book would have looked like a masterpiece in comparison. However, if you’d told me I would enjoy Jason Parent’s A Life Removed as …

BB (2016) – Movie Review

Going into BB, I expected little more than some indie dross cobbled together by a no-talent hack whose abilities were far below those of a troglodyte. But writer/director C.J. Wallis, here making his feature film directorial debut, proved me wrong. Way wrong.  Leah Lamont (Jennifer Mae) needs some money to …

Left Bank (2009) Movie Review

Take elements of Rosemary’s Baby and Fulci’s Gates of Hell trilogy, mix in lots of female nudity, toss in one cup of a where-did-so-and-so-disappear-to plot and then put them in a blender at high-speed. What do you get? A far more interesting movie than Left Bank.  Marie (Eline Kuppens) is …

The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016) – Movie Review

We all know we got excited over the trailer of The Autopsy of Jane Doe, no doubt gracing it with reverence like it was the Second Coming. I can’t blame you: the trailer is a masterpiece in and of itself. But does the film live up to expectations?  A bizarre …

Retro Review – IN A GLASS CAGE (1985)

The atrocities of the Nazi regime have been prime fodder for horror and exploitation films since 1969 when director Lee Frost unleashed Love Camp 7. On the one hand, you have trashy “Nazisploitation” films such as Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS and Gestapo’s Last Orgy, which focus on sexual …

Review – TOKYO GORE POLICE (2008)

“Why do they bleed so much?” was the question my brother asked when I subjected him to Tokyo Gore Police. Indeed, why do they bleed so much? Because this is prime Japanese splatter, courtesy of filmmaker Yoshihiro Nishimura. That’s why!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFKP9lB_F7s In the future, the Japanese police force has been …
