A friend once told me that they consider The Sentinel to be the scariest movie they’ve ever seen. Of course I have to check it out to see how wimpy my friends are and to, hopefully, make myself feel better about my answer to “What’s the scariest movie you’ve ever …

Blind buys are always the most dangerous, yet the most fun. On the one hand, you could wind-up with some piece of toilet fodder that you can’t even give to your dog as a Frisbee because you’ll be charged with animal cruelty. On the other hand, blind buys can yield …

This past Friday, I was desperate for entertainment and began perusing Netflix. Now, let me state that perusing Netflix with high levels of Entertainment Deprivation is never a good idea. Why? Because it’ll lead you to making choices like The Pack.  The Wilson family have it rough: their livestock keep …

The directorial career of Ulli Lommel has been a strange one. In the late-sixties/early-seventies, he was part of the acting troupe centered around Geran filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder. In 1973, he directed  Tenderness of the Wolves, a solid film about serial killer Fritz Haarmann. In the eighties, he gave us …

Rob Zombie’s Halloween 2 is tied with Halloween 3: Season of the Witch as the most reviled entry amongst fans of the Halloween franchise. While Season of the Witch has undergone a bit of critical revaluation as of late, both it and Zombie’s sequel still reside near the bottom of …

I never bothered seeing the first Ouija. Honestly, why would I wanna waste my time watching a movie about a board game? Besides, the trailer looked like a typical horror film filled with ineffective jump scares and dumber-than-dirt teen protagonists. But when my sister and her friend wanted to see …

Zombie movies and “found footage” have overrun the horror genre like a bad case of herpes. It seems like one film from each of these sub-genres is popping out from Mother Horror every day. Most of them are rubbish. But once in a blue moon you’ll stumble upon one that’s …

I’m a sucker for any kind of horror movie taking place in a cabin in the woods. Add snow and I’m guaranteed to give it a watch no matter how asinine the film looks. The trailer for Barricade certainly made it look good. But that just goes to show that …
