Bastard (2015) Horrorfest Review

After Dark Horrorfest has produced quite a few decent flicks for those of us in the horror community. The Final (2010), Lake Dead (2007), Tooth and Nail (2007), Autopsy (2008), and Perkins 14 (2009) are just a few of them. As a horror fan, I look forward to each batch of films in …

Hong Kong cinema you say? Count me right in. If you haven’t yet introduced yourself to this territory’s cinema, you need to do so immediately. However, don’t let that introduction come in the form of Rigor Mortis. Chin Siu-Ho (Chin Siu-ho) is a washed up movie actor whose just moved …

Unearthed Horror: ANGST (1983)

In 1983, Austrian director Gerald Kargl unleashed his first (and, to date, only) feature-length film. The film shocked Austrian moviegoers. A scandal followed.
