If you’re a lucky member of Generation X you grew up with some pretty keen “gateway horror movies.” Classics such as Teen Wolf (1985), where a young Michael J. Fox shows just how harrowing it can be to go through the inevitable “changes” teenage boys like him face. Then there was …

Genre blending. You know, a “quasi-slasher/thriller with a rom-com twist”, or something. Some films manage to get the amalgamation of horror sub-genres right, and some fail miserably. More often than not, The Dead Girl In Apartment 03 works, but there are moments of schizophrenia in its 72 minute runtime. Synopsis …

I never thought I would see a horror comedy inspired by the music of Jimmy Buffet, but here we are. Murdaritaville is a film following a group of friends being killed off by a half-bird creature who kills people who aren’t big enough fans of Jimmy Buffet. Synopsis A group …

The new science fiction thriller I.S.S. (2024) hits theaters this week and I got the pleasure of an advance screening. Should you head to the movies this weekend and check it out? I guess you will have to keep reading to see my thoughts.  Synopsis The crew aboard the International …

Remakes of ’70s and ’80s horror films were all the rage in the 2000s. The box office success of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre remake in 2003 started a bit of a renaissance. What followed was a hodgepodge of mostly watered down studio fluff, including The Fog, The Wicker Man, and When A Stranger …

When it comes to your standard movie monsters like zombies werewolves and vampires, its hard to find an original idea, as they’ve been used so much. It is a rare treat when you find a film that manages to tell a different kind of story than usual, and that’s exactly …

I’ve always been intrigued by the idea of witchcraft, but too scared to pursue it in real life. I prefer to watch it safely from the comfort of my living room, which I did with Lust, Magic, and the Witches’ Sabbath. After watching the film, I think I made the …

Last month I reviewed Survive! (see the review here). That film was an exploitative depiction of the Miracle in the Andes, the harrowing plight of a rugby team that was stranded in the Andes after a plane crash in which 29 out of the 45 passengers survived. The next 72 …

Growing up as a teenager in the late ’80s was a blast — especially if you were a sci-fi/horror fan! While the ’80s ushered in the golden era of slashers, genre films like The Terminator, Aliens, and The Fly blended sci-fi and horror seamlessly. Video stores ruled the home entertainment …
