Retro Reviews

Guillermo Del Toro is one of my favorite directors, and Crimson Peak is one of my all time favorite movies. I’ve watched it countless times over the years. It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years this month since Crimson Peak was released to the world. Read on for why …

Motel Hell first came into my life when I was about 6 years old. I actually arrived late to the party, considering the movies I had seen before it.  Motel Hell gave the aura of all those silly slasher sequels and ran with it, calling it a parody of slasher …

As mentioned many times previously, most remakes are unnecessary or worse. Then you have ones that were actually good such as The Thing and Ocean’s 11. There was another one that many felt was just as good as the original, and that was the 2000 comedy BEDAZZLED.  To understand BEDAZZLED …

I remember the first time I saw George A. Romero’s iconic film. Even people who are not into horror know Night Of The Living Dead. It is playing in any horror movie while the babysitter watches over the kids, and this film changed a lot of lives. Those who weren’t …

Stephen King’s Silver Bullet may have been one of the first horror movies I’ve ever seen, and I fell in love with it. As a young child, there was nothing scarier—or cooler—to me than werewolves. Vampires were scary, yes, but you could speak to them and possibly barter with them. …

Brian Trenchard-Smith’s Leprechaun 3 is, well, let’s just say it’s interesting. For some reason, I never really cared for the Leprechaun series; this was no different. But I am committed to writing a very neutral opinion here. What is it I don’t like? I don’t even really know why. Back …

Remember when everyone was super excited about all the possible horror movie crossovers after Freddy vs Jason came out? I remember hearing that there was going to be a Pinhead vs Michael Myers movie, one featuring Ash taking on both Jason and Freddy (which actually became a reality in the …

When you mention Joe Chappelle’s Halloween: The Curse Of Michael Myers, be wary; some people hate this movie with a passion and will berate you. I don’t think that is very fair. I enjoy this movie for what it is. Was it silly? Of course it was. In the 1990s, Horror …

Roger Corman’s Little Shop of Horrors (1960) is the kind of movie that proves how far ingenuity can stretch a dollar. Shot in just two days and one night on leftover sets from Corman’s earlier film A Bucket of Blood, this scrappy black comedy has grown into one of cinema’s …
