In the world of low budget horror and subversive cinema, there are many, many “WTF?” moments. One of these was when I heard of the title Orgy of the Dead 2, and looked up the original film. Imagine the WTF-ness of the moment when I learned that the OG Orgy …

My introduction to director Rolf Kanefsky was 1990’s brilliant There’s Nothing Out There, but my introduction (apart from a fleeting Tromatic glance)  to horror film goddess Tiffany Shepis (Victor Crowley) was Kanefsky’s equally brilliant The Hazing. Having only seen it on bootlegs of dubious quality and streaming, I jumped into …

Rockstar biographies run the gamut. Often they’re sordid tell-alls, or they’re fictionalized fluff pieces, glamorizing a destructive lifestyle and elevating very flawed people to deity status. With Di’Anno: Iron Maiden’s Lost Singer, director Wes Orshoski (Lemmy), no stranger to metal biopics, leaves it to the viewer to decide, for the …

Natasha Tonisis film Bloodline of Bathory gave me an experience that felt alive in the current horror universe. With current and age-old kill scenes, the genre would be run by artistic abominations.

As a child of the early 1980’s, few films sparked my imagination the way Clash of the Titans (1981) did. Even though it followed visual FX extravaganzas like Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Superman, Ray Harryhausen’s painstaking stop motion work was still more than capable of inciting wonder …

I have always loved sharks, and as such have been a sucker for shark movies for as long as I can remember. I have seen a ton of killer shark movies in my day, and while some of them are awesome there are also a lot of them that are …

I happen to enjoy found footage a lot, especially when it’s ghosts or killer grandmas and so on. Kathleen Buhen’s 21 Days is a staple in my life that always keeps me loyal, so much so that it is number 4 in my top 10 movies I love. There is …

Upon reading the synopsis of The Girl in Green by Staci Layne Wilson, I was intrigued and decided to read it. It is a tough topic to write about, a child out there killing others. Oddly it is also a compelling topic that you can’t help to be curious about. …
