I reviewed Richard Tanner’s first film Room for Rent years ago and have been excited for his lastest Screw Year’s Eve since it was first announced. Recently I was given the chance to check it out. Read on for my thoughts. Synopsis A group of friends decide to ring in …

Ever since the advent of Cocaine Bear, we’ve seen the independent horror scene flooded with drug addled antagonists. But our latest fix comes from Fuzzy Monkey Films, where the addict isn’t an animal, but Dracula himself. Let’s sink our teeth into Cracula and see what it delivers. Cracula was written …

TRIGGER WARNING This review brings up the horror of non-consensual sex. Please read with caution. Also, remember, you don’t know your own strength. You survived, and that’s something to be thankful for. Keep on keeping on. Kevin Lewis’s Pig Hill left me wanting a bit more. Maybe I was just …

Roel Reinés  Savage Hunt turned out a bit wilder than I thought. Killer animals have always been cool with me. I enjoy watching humans meet their fate because of their ignorance. The film can be related to so many wildlife stories, amped all the way up to eleven. Though it …

Remington Smith’s LandLord took me on a ride that I was afraid of at first. Outside of Bela Lugosi in Dracula (1931), I don’t really dig too many vampire movies. This includes The Lost Boys and all other staples. The creep factor was not there because you could not relate …

Yes, I know Thanksgiving is traditionally reserved for turkey, Turkie and Thankskilling (see my Thanksgiving review from last year here). But why restrict yourself to only one type of homicidal bird to satisfy your holiday horror of thanks? This Thanksgiving, indulge yourself in another type of deadly bird by revisiting …

Paul Gandersmans’ Man Finds Tape had me a bit fooled. In the age of found footage, I didn’t get what I was expecting, and that’s not a bad thing at all. I love found footage, but it does get pretty redundant, because it’s such an easy storyline, and it hides …
