I know everyone has their own opinions, and this isn’t really bagging on either style. I may not like elevated horror at all, like 0 percent; however, that’s just my taste. Some people enjoy the dramatic look at reality. For me, that just doesn’t work. I will always choose slashers, …

Anyone who reads my articles regularly knows how I feel about 80’s slashers. Maniac won me over a long time ago, in my childhood, even. Also, most of you also know, I started watching horror movies at way too young an age. It molded me into who I am today. …

If you aren’t aware of Lucio Fulci, I would take this time to suck in every movie you can. Envelop this genius of early 80’s gore. Folks rally around the “Fulci Lives!” slogan. There is a reason, and House by the Cemetery is one of them. I started on Fulci …

I have mentioned before that I am a big fan of found footage films. Jennifer Van Gesell’s Water Horse took me to another realm. A realm where found footage meets a dark back story. The style has been tried many times, but these movies are hit or miss. The style …

Kevin Lewis’s Misdirection lays down an obvious plot, or so you think. I don’t usually watch films with bank robbers or anything similar. If it isn’t horror or retro cartoons, I am not really tending to give it a chance. Misdirection has influenced me a bit to at least give …

Wetiko changed my whole perception of foreign films. I only recently gave them another try, and some were actually pretty enjoyable. Wetiko saved me from fear of subtitles.
