Retro Reviews

With the zombie horror genre pretty much have taking over the last few years, it’s been awhile since we’ve had a great vampire horror movie. So, I was thinking maybe we should revisit one of the great cult classic vampire movies of all time and celebrate it’s 20th year anniversary. …

Although I’m not big on romance stories, it really just depends on the film. I do sometimes like them with a little horror in the mix… if it’s done right. Often, the best way to go about this is a horror comedy – an unlikely pair fall in love with tons …

Have you ever wanted to go to summer camp as a kid? Well, thanks to movies like Friday the 13th, Cannibal Campout, and Sleepaway Camp, my mother thought I was going to get sliced and diced during my summer camping retreat. I can’t really blame her for thinking that I was going …

On June 20th, we celebrated a special day. Not only was it the first day of Summer, it was also the anniversary of the widely popular thriller, Jaws (1975). It’s been over 45 years and we still don’t have another shark movie that lives up to this fantastic film. Don’t …

On July 18, 2016, the sci-fi classic Aliens turned 30. Thirty years old! That’s as old as “Party All The Time” by Eddie Murphy! It sounds like a big number, but despite being made nearly three decades ago, Aliens has withstood the test of time to become one of the …

Out of all horror movies that have been released over the years, I’m still a sucker for  anything ‘80s. 1987 specifically was a great year; not only was it the year I was born, but it was also the year that a ton of scary flicks came out. For me, …

Ten years ago this month, a new horror movie monster was born. In a world of found footage, zombies, and demonic possessions, deformed hunchback Victor Crowley lumbered out onto the screen at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 27, 2006 in Adam Green’s Hatchet. Green both wrote and directed the film, his …
