With films there are surprises, and then there are surprises. With some films you get exactly what you think you’re going to get. In fact, after watching a trailer or two, one can usually gauge how much they’ll like a film pretty closely. Every once and a while, the gauging system fails and you either [...]

Here is the R-Rated first three minutes of the new horror film, Mirrors.

Juicy.
Directed and written by Alexandre Aja (High tension, The Hills Have Eyes), the man many (me) call the savior of modern horror. I have high hopes for this film. Mirrors stars Kiefer Sutherland, a man whose family is being terrorized by an [...]

The Ghost Galleon is the third film in the Blind Dead series written and directed by Amando de Ossorio, and is different from the first two films in just about every way except the Blind Dead’s importance and some beautiful cinematography. Where Tombs of the Blind Dead was an exercise in tension and Return [...]

The Lair of the White Worm is an incredibly hard film to classify. It covers just about every genre as it slithers to an incredibly tongue-in-cheek climax. I would place The Lair of the White Worm into the horror genre, because that seems to be the overlying theme, but that doesn’t mean there’s not [...]

It’s nothing new for musical acts to get themselves into the film game. With films like KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park, Cool as Ice, and the most horrific of them all, Spice World, history has proven that this is generally not a good idea. Once in a great while however, it works, [...]

After the experimental but ultimately disappointing Loft (review), Kiyoshi Kurosawa is back with Retribution, a crime thriller with ghostly elements akin to Cure and Kairo. While I won’t tout this as Kurosawa’s return to form, it is a culmination of many of his films previous styles, and once again has a lot to say [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
