Movie Reviews

Recently, I watched The original 1973 version of George A. Romero’s The Crazies with a group of friends. The Crazies is a film that has existed for a lot longer than people realize, having been remade by Breck Eisner (Sahara 2005) in 2010, and being one of the better remakes …

The Hellraiser franchise has been rife with some of the worst, most unwatchable films that have ever been made. The Weinsteins drug it out in the hopes for a reboot that never came, at least not under their supervision. This continued until there were more straight-to-video Hellraiser films than there …

Mister Sleep is a new horror film coming soon to streaming platforms from Gravitas Ventures, Beyond Casual Media, and director Robert Hollocks (Applewood). The folks behind the film are marketing it as the first installment in a new slasher franchise. That’s always music to my ears, because let’s face it, …

Grindhouse Releasing is amazing at cleaning up those old classics! Their stellar editions of The Beyond and Cannibal Holocaust are among my favorites. So, my curiosity was definitely piqued when I heard they were releasing Impulse, a seldom seen film from director William Grefe (Mako: The Jaws of Death) starring …

I’m really not a fan of most holidays, excluding Halloween. What I am a big fan is holiday themed horror films, especially ones with a comedic bent, which means Easter Bloody Easter is right up my alley. Did Easter Bloody Easter satisfy my holiday horror itch for blood and laughs? …

Infamous Euro-sleaze director Jess Franco (Vampyros Lesbos) tried to capture that luscious Technicolor magic of Hammer Studios’ gothic horror films of the 50s and 60s on several occasions. Most notably with Count Dracula (also 1970), and even managed to lure fright legend Christopher Lee away from the fabled studio for …

Sheep’s Clothing stars Aaron Pfifer as Mansa, Nick Heyman as Pastor, and Sean Heyman as Terry.  Synopsis A violent attack leaves high school principal Mansa Harper with a …

Blumhouse has done it again. From M3GAN to Five Nights at Freddy’s (our review), the LA-based production company has been dominating the PG-13 horror space over the past few years. And it’s newest addition to the family — Imaginary — is yet another eerie delight. A few days before the film’s official March 8 release, …

2015’s The Slashening was a solid, hilarious horror/comedy film filled with enough gags, gore and winks and nods to the audience to satisfy even the most ardent of Troma fans. Finally arriving on Blu-ray, writer/director Brandon Bassham’s (Shakespeare’s Shitstorm) 2021 gonzo, irreverent sequel, Slashening: The Final Beginning takes it up …

Blumhouse’s Imaginary (2024) hit big screens this weekend with tepid reviews due to the oversell/underdeliver factor that can come with taking on such a high concept with the intent to keep it sleek and simple. But if there’s one thing horror fans are good at, it’s finding potential scares in unlikely …
