I can’t believe the holidays are just around the corner… 2017 went by way too fast! The plus side is that Halloween is this month. Thanksgiving soon follows and then there’s Christmas, the most “wonderful” time of year. One of my favorite things about the upcoming cooler weather is that I …

(Note: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.)  Vampire novels are not something I enjoy reading. Most of the time, they’re about nothing other than good-looking men sitting around half-naked and bemoaning eternity; and chasing after some well-endowed woman, having sex with her, …

It is the year of the King and it just keeps getting better! Directed by Mike Flanagan with a screenplay by Jeff Howard, Gerald’s Game is the latest adaptation of one of Stephen King’s novels. Gerald, played by Bruce Greenwood, takes his wife, Jessie (Carla Gugino), to a secluded cabin so …

“Fight against the aliens.” I’m an huge fan of Japanese cinema, and the film Gantz (2010) is at the top of my list. If you thought that Hollywood was the only one tapping into comic books to gather their inspiration and material for films, you’re highly mistaken. Japan has a rich culture …

The blend of mechanics, twisted dreamscapes, obsession and psychological flaws that we, as humans, all have, combine in a symphony of delicious horror with an obvious creep factor on many levels in a glorious Steampunk style.

When I watched the trailer for Jackals, it seemed to me that this film was going to be The Strangers with the volume nob turned up 1,000 notches. Everything about it intrigued me. I have a bit of an obsession with cult-related things, and I could not wait to be able …

When you think of Friday the 13th, you immediately label it as Jason’s Day. When I was asked to review The 13th Friday, I assumed because of the inclusion of Friday and 13, that this film was going to have some kind of slasher aspect, but alas, I was wrong. I admit, …

Ghost and possession films aren’t really my cup of tea, mainly because I find them fairly derivative. With few exceptions, you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. I wasn’t expecting much from The Forlorned, but I must say, I was pleasantly surprised with the film. Read on for my thoughts. …

When I wrote the announcement of Clowntergeist, I stated that this was only the beginning of the slew of clown movies that will inevitably come out this year. Due to the highly anticipated release of the newest adaptation of Stephen King’s novel IT (read our review here), it was inevitable …
