From Chile comes Trauma, one of the most controversial films I’ve had the pleasure of viewing, although not everyone will share this opinion, I’m sure. Right up there with A Serbian Film, Trauma breeds the same kind of discontent for the country’s political regime.  Straight out of The Optical Theater Festival, Trauma …

Hailing from Finland, Euthanizer is nice and nasty original piece of indie gold is written and directed by Teemu Nikki. I first found out about this film from Finnish filmmaker Artturi Olavi Rostén, who has directed probably one of the best indie shorts I’ve had the pleasure of watching in …

Cold Ground is another selection that was brought to my attention by The Optical Theater Film Festival. This French film is a found footage offering, but it also mixes in the now popular retro aspect. Fabien Delage’s film is even getting a possible 2018 release from Redwood Creek Films and …

I reviewed the original Edmund Kemper film on another site previously and recently my gore buddy and creator of this series, Laurent Tissier, sent me part 2 and 3 in the trilogy, along …

It was way back in 1986 when the unsuspecting public saw the release of this iconic black and white horror comic. Published by Thomas Skulan of FantaCo Enterprises, Gore Shriek is one of the original and more visceral gore comics that found a cult following in that era three decades ago, …

Director/producer/cinematographer Italian maestro Domiziano Cristopharo is changing the face of modern horror and has his scope on the North American market by creating some of the more extreme horror movie titles to surface in recent memory. Christopharo’s involvement with the film Sacrifice, directed by Poison Rouge, has proved to be …
