In any horror movie where you have a couple going camping, you can pretty much guarantee that things are not going to turn out as planned. This is certainly the case for Eden Lake, a UK horror film that goes above and beyond the call of duty in showcasing the sheer depravity that people, youths [...]

Whenever there’s a movie set in New York City, wondering if there might be rats is just part of the game plan. In Mulberry Street, we get to have a dose of rats in a whole new way that is a shining part of what separates this film from a host of other horror films [...]

Are you familiar with the first Hellraiser movie? That’s probably the finest level of atmosphere captured on film that translates some of what Clive Barker (the creative horror genius behind both Midnight Meat Train and Hellraiser) offers in his fiction. In recent memory, no other film has gone to quite the same lengths to display [...]

When it comes to low budget films, there are those that follow the Blair Witch type, such as Paranormal Activity – films which really do have a higher budget than some might believe – and there are those films which genuinely are made on next to nothing but passion. The 3rd floor is of this [...]

As far as really slick and highly entertaining darker films go, the Underworld might not be considered traditional horror in the minds of some fans, but when you’ve got vampires and werewolves in a movie then it’s horror as far as this reviewer is concerned. That goes for Twilight, as well, since it has definitely [...]

Unless movie fans have been living in a cave for the past 2 years, they already know more than enough about blushing, flustered knee knocker Bella Swan and her desperately loved chunk of sparkling vampiric marble, Edward Cullen. When Stephenie Meyer first graced the world with her dream inspired vampire romance novel now known as [...]

With a title like The House of the Devil you know you are getting into satanic waters and that whatever goes on is bound to be evil on some level or other. In this particular instance, we’re looking at a film that is not a grind ‘em up splatter fest filled with laughing diabolicals, but [...]
