Webs is quite an anomaly. I received the screener in the mail and the first thing I noticed was the massive “SciFi Essentials” plastered across the top of the DVD case. Anyone that watches the SciFi channel knows that they usually put out dull, lifeless films that are chalk full of horrible CGI and acting [...]

Arriving a little over a f@#$ing year after the box office flop Grindhouse, Larry Bishop’s Hell Ride has the f@#$ing nerve to try and crash the homage party, with a clusterf@#$ of an end result. Desperately trying to be a f@#$ing exploitation film in the same vein as biker cult-favorites The Losers and The [...]

In  1970, Dick Cavett was interviewing Mick Jagger, front man for The Rolling Stones. He asks Mick “Can you see yourself doing the same thing when you’re 60?” to which Mick replies, without a blink, “Absolutely, easily.” If he believed it or not, he didn’t lie as he, and the rest of the band, [...]

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 [...]

After creeping me out with the dead-eyed characters of Polar Express, Robert Zemeckis takes another stab at a film populated entirely by CGI. This time, he tackles the Old English epic poem, Beowulf. While the film does contain fair amount of the source material, writers Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary made some changes to [...]

Well, as much as they tried, the sequel to Joel Schumacher’s 1987 hit, The Lost Boys, did not make it into theaters but ended up going direct to DVD. Not a big shocker to anyone, I’m sure, but I finally got a chance to watch the film. Check out the trailer and then after [...]

Sergio Martino has directed many, many giallo films, (Case of the Scorpion’s Tale, All the Colors of Dark, and Torso – which I love, to name a few)  but, everyone has to start somewhere, and one of his first films was The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh.  If you think the name’s strange well, the [...]

Today I will be taking look at the Spanish film, Who Can Kill A Child. A woefully, and criminally overlooked horror movie made in 1976 and filmed in various locations around the beautiful, Southern coast of Spain. Who Can Kill A Child is a terrific horror film that was ahead of it’s time and [...]

I’d like to start off my review of Stop-Loss and simply say, “this film exceeded my expectations.” I remember watching TV and constantly seeing a film being toted as a powerful, emotional film, and then flash-cutting through a series of Lifetime-resembling scenes, before getting to the point of the story: Stop-Loss. That may have [...]
