It’s been quite a long time since a quality slasher film has come down the horror pipeline. There have indeed been a few of note, but there really haven’t been any that captured the spirit of the genres 80’s heyday. Slasher fans can finally rejoice however, as right from the awesome opening title card, [...]

Tombs of the Blind Dead is one of only a few movies to ever make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up (others being The Exorcist, The Omen, The Changeling, just to name a few).  For the uninitiated Tombs of the Blind Dead is the first in four films about Satan-worshipping Templars [...]

Right back atcha Rob.
A few months ago, I was on Amazon and came across a German 3-disc limited edition of Rob Zombie’s Halloween, with both the director’s cut (which I hear is pretty similar to the work print, though I’m no glutton for punishment; I won’t be finding out for myself anytime soon) and theatrical, [...]

Simon, King of the Witches is kind of like that friend that is so ridiculous that you keep him around just to see what stupid shenanigans he’ll try next.  The plot boils down to a warlock wants to use his powers to join the gods he worships so he can watch over the planet.  That’s [...]

Hearing a lot about Paul Naschy, Vengeance of the Zombies felt like a good place to start checking out his films. Zombies. Vengeance. Beautiful. Maybe not. Naschy’s career spans almost 50 years, and he’s well known amongst the Spanish horror crowd. The driving force behind seeing this film, [...]

While I may be in the minority on this, I thought Open Water was a pretty effective little film. It was far from perfect, but it captured a raw feeling of danger and dread, one where you were always on edge for an eventual shark attack. The film must have made some fans other [...]

Leave it to Yûdai Yamaguchi, director of such cult craziness as Battlefield Baseball, Cromartie High: The Movie, and Meatball Machine (read Morbid’s review here), to realize that J-horror is quickly growing stale and direct one that appears to be completely tongue-in-cheek. Based on the manga “Akanbo Shoujo” from horror legend Kazuo Umezu (whose work Yamaguchi [...]

Ahhhh….summer. Tis the season of popsicles, slip and slides, camping, fishing, hiking, and B-grade campfire slasher flicks. I love my summer slashers. Nothing like a good heat wave to get me to retreat inside and snuggle up to some degraded filth. Big tits, dumb broads, blue balls, and deformed mongoloids eeking out revenge with [...]

I’m an admitted Kiyoshi Kurosawa fanboy. Cure and Kairo are masterpieces of modern Japanese cinema as far as I’m concerned, and his films are generally wildly unique and visionary. He cut his teeth in the horror genre, and I was definitely looking forward to him revisiting the realm of the macabre with Loft, his [...]
