Movie Reviews

The Hand, directed by Oliver Stone, remains one of the strangest and most overlooked entries in both Stone’s filmography and Michael Caine’s long career. Often treated as a forgotten curiosity, the film arrived at an awkward point in Stone’s development as a filmmaker—years before he would gain major recognition with …

I’ll admit I am not into the whole Disney characters in Horror thing. It seems like a cash grab on something I grew up on. I was let down. Nothing interesting popped up. Until the vengeful spirit comes. Minnie’s Midnight Massacre. Let’s get into the review. Synopsis After being constantly …

It’s the weekend of April Fool’s Day, 1986 and your friend, Muffy, invites you to a party she’s throwing on a remote island along with a group of your closest college buddies. Aren’t you just dying to go? Such is the premise for the 1986 ‘slasher’ film April Fool’s Day. …

As a fan of low/no budget indie horror, I always look forward to seeing what these hometown auteurs come up with using their, often meager, means. When the studios start re-hashing literally everything, it’s usually in the indie folks that bring both the originality and the heat. I’m of the …

I remember hearing about Hatchet a few months before it came out and I thought that it sounded awesome. I couldn’t wait to see it because it sounded like it had some good old school 80s slasher flick vibes to it, so I went and bought a copy of it …

Anyone who intentionally chooses to watch CRACKCOON(2024) knows what to expect.  Luckily, the filmmakers embraced the schtick and has a blast with it.
