Grindhouse Films is a fine German purveyor of only the filthiest underground horror around. With numerous notorious titles under their belts, they have now completed their latest work. Lo Specchio Di Colore Giallo Dell’Anima, which means “Yellow Mirror Of The Soul,” is Grindhouse Films offering to the giallo gods. What I …

God bless the coked out ’80s. In a decade where anything and everything went, Night Train to Terror had it all. The best part is, it’s not just a single movie but three films crammed into one. The film is similar to Creepshow, Tales From the Hood and Terror Tract. However, rather …

Back in the late eighties and into the early nineties, loner Joel Rifkin killed at least seventeen prostitutes. He is New York’s most infamous serial killer. I found out quite a bit about him recently when I watched John R. Hand’s upcoming film Joel. I do have an interest in …

Slasher films of the 70’s and 80’s typically revolve around deranged mask donning knife-wielding monstrosities that often defy death. However, a new type of slasher emerged in the 90’s with films such as Urban Legend, Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. With motive driven mortal killers who …

From Chile comes Trauma, one of the most controversial films I’ve had the pleasure of viewing, although not everyone will share this opinion, I’m sure. Right up there with A Serbian Film, Trauma breeds the same kind of discontent for the country’s political regime.  Straight out of The Optical Theater Festival, Trauma …

Lately, I have been in the mood for nothing but reading. Last week I signed up for NetGalley, a site that gives reviewers free e-books for review purposes. I stumbled across a book called Mean Little People from writer Paige Dearth, which I saw talked about awhile back on Goodreads. …

It’s always fascinating to me to see what actors do in the latter parts of their careers, after they’ve made those two or three movies that cemented them as legends; do they go for the quick-and-dirty cash grab that they know will probably help pay for the next couple years’ …
