As a horror movie reviewer, when you get the chance to watch a young filmmaker’s first project, you think two things: either it’s going to be rough cut, overly long or chock full of bad acting, or it’s going to to be creative, innovative, and original. With no previous works …

I think everyone on the planet can probably relate to falling for a friend who doesn’t see them as anything but a friend. It fucking sucks. Most of the time this is resolved in 1 of 3 different ways. 1. They give you a chance. 2. You suck it up …

For month’s now I’ve been hearing ton of buzz about the indie horror adventure film Beyond the Gates, which has been billed as Jumanji for horror fans. Due to the trailer and the presence of several actors that I like, I have been dying to see it. Hell, I even …

Every decade spawns a new horror slasher icon. The 1970’s introduced us to Leatherface and Michael Myers. The 80’s brought upon Jason Vorhees, Freddy Kreuger, and the infamous Chucky doll.

Although the official release of Fright Night 2 in Spain took place in October of 1988, the United States welcomed the sequel on May 19th, 1989. We all know what …

When I was in still in school, I would frequently hit video stores and buy used VHS copies of any horror films I could find. This was how I was introduced to Frank Henenlotter’s Brain Damage, albeit in an edited form. I remember loving it, having never seen anything quite …

I’m just going to come out and say it: I’ve never seen any of the popular lesbian vampires films nor have I ever seen anything from Hammer. I’m in no way the target audience for the film. Had it not been for seeing the trailer for Blood of the Tribades …

After seeing the trailer for Michael Shumway’s Alienate, I was totally on board! It looked to be a cheesy, action-packed alien invasion film. I was all set to enjoy this on a “so bad it’s good” level. Did I get the experience I was hoping for? Read on to find …
