Night of the Living Dead is the cult classic that to this day still manages to scare the audience.  It was followed by two sequels that were loaded with gore, but neither one of them can really compare to the original.  We all know one of the previous DVD releases gave us a horrible job [...]

As I finished watching what many people claim to be the most distressing movie ever made I had to ponder, why in the name of god did anyone want to turn out a reel like this?  Now I have seen some real messed up movies e . g. “men behind sun”, “necromantic”, “I spit on [...]

Two friends, David and Jack, go to London.  Jack is attacked and killed by a werewolf and David gets attacked, but survives.  After that he spends time in the hospital recovering, where he meets Alex (Jenny Agutter.)  He ends up staying at her place for a while, when he sees his friend Jack again, except [...]

Once, directors like Tobe Hooper understood something: Gore does not equal fear. No, fear equals fear. The bottom line that directors like Hooper understood came down to a simple matter: to scare the hell out of the viewer, let them scare the hell out of themselves. This, it seems, is a lost understanding. Which has [...]

Dawn of the Dead is a favorite in the zombie sub genre, as well as a favorite in the horror genre of many fans.  For years, we’ve only had flimsy little bare bones DVD’s of this film, and fans have been waiting for the Ultimate Edition that was announced a few years back.  Then, in [...]

My first question about half an hour into this movie was, why? I’d already known it would be a rather dismal feature from an overzealous and somewhat predictable production company (Ghost House Pictures), and as such, I didn’t bother to see the movie in the theater. I thought perhaps it would be worth a rental [...]

For a few years now, back in 2004 I think, I had been paying close attention to a film called SKIN CRAWL. I had seen the trailer for it when I bought a copy of SUBURBAN NIGHTMARE. [...]
