I took a chance on Nesting; in fact, from the opening scenes, I was not expecting much. I like the idea of this movie. While foreign films almost sell me, I have my favorites, unfortunately, Nesting is not one of them. I give everything a chance, and sometimes it’s undesirable; …

Wildeye Releasing’s Visual Vengeance series is really breathing new life into late 90s/early 00s shot-on-video stuff by doing deluxe collector’s edition type releases that are normally reserved for the more familiar genre films. Being from Northern Ohio, I’m pretty surprised I hadn’t heard of Cleveland based writer/director Les Sekely (Night …

A couple months ago Obsession wasn’t even on my radar. I found out about from a friend who was excited about it. I pretty much avoided trailers, wanting to be surprised as much as possible. I was a little worried I would be disappointed with Obsession, as the critical consensus …

New from the deranged folks at SRS Cinema, is a snazzy Blu ray release from The Sleaze Box: writer/director Chris Woods’ (Death-Scort Service 1-3) 2016 splatter/exploitation flick Chaos AD (no relation to Brazilian metal icons Sepultura). Naturally, being a fan of grimy indie sleaze, I dove right in! Synopsis On …

When it comes to ’80s Canadian slashers, Happy Birthday to Me is often overlooked by Bob Clark’s Black Christmas (1974) and My Bloody Valentine (1981). While Happy Birthday to Me isn’t as flawless, the film is a classic and deserves to be on the same level as those other Canadian gems. …

If you weren’t alive in the 1990’s, it was a VERY different time period. Kids today that go around saying “six seven” might run into one of their parents that lived in the 90’s that will stand up and shout “I AM THE GREAT CORNHOLIO, I NEED TP FOR MY …

Neighbor was handed down through our ranks and quickly became something I cherish for multiple reasons. From the aesthetic, down to the story, it all rocked. At first, I didn’t see the hype until I watched the film. This movie is for anyone who has had that one neighbor who …

I always have a spot in my heart for the OG’s, the ones who helped bring horror into the eighties with a whole new world. Everything coming out of the genre seems forced and has lost the magic of underground horror. All it did was get a younger viewpoint, maybe …

Historically slasher and monster movies work when you have a physically imposing antagonist. There are exceptions such as 3 foot 6 Warwick Davis as the Leprechaun or the 150 pound Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger. Then you have the big dudes such as the 6 foot 3 Kane Hodder as …

Much in the same way that Sean Cunningham ripped off John Carpenter’s Halloween, many filmmakers since have ripped off Friday The 13th (1980). In my opinion, one of the best F13 ripoffs is 1981’s The Burning. In just the past few years, The Burning has gained quite a cult following. …
