We’re almost 2 years into the US response to the coronavirus pandemic. Early on, I tweeted jokingly that we may as well get back to our blogs since, at the time, we were being asked to stay in our homes. We all had a good laugh about that (zero engagement/likes/retweets) and went back to doing … More Malignant (2021) – Review
Cold Hell (2018) If you’re anything like me, you have probably heard some positive buzz about the Austrian (German?) cat-and-mouse film, Cold Hell. It made some waves on the festival circuit before being added as an exclusive to Shudder’s streaming features lineup. So, if you want to stream this one (legally of course) you … More Cold Hell (2017) – REVIEW
If you’re like me, you’ve probably heard some good things about Joe Lynch’s latest feature, Mayhem. If you’re not like me and don’t feel the constant drive to find and watch new horror, spending hours reading about upcoming genre films, and stalking horror writers and creators on Twitter, then good for you. Your hobby-life balance … More Mayhem (2017) – REVIEW
Next up in my Fantasia Int’l Film Festival 2017 coverage lineup is Replace from German-born director, Norbert Keil. (i know “German-born” doesn’t really convey any relevant info, but it beefs this intro up a bit) Kira spends the night at her new boyfriend’s place and wakes up alone. She takes the less-than-subtle hint and … More Replace (2017) – REVIEW
I saw The Mummy. Maybe that’s doesn’t seem remarkable, but it is for me. As a child of the 80s, I am not of the “monster kid” generation that feels a particular nostalgia for classic Universal horror. Nor am I of the generation who rediscovered those films when they made their way onto early consumer … More The Mummy (2017) – REVIEW
Zombies and zombie movies are ubiquitous. Over the past decade we’ve seen an explosion of zombie imagery and references in popular culture. It’s understandable then that the theme is wearing thin with a lot of horror fans (and probably normal people too, but i can’t speak for those weirdos). As such (and this is revealing … More The Girl with All the Gifts (2016) – REVIEW
As is often the case here at NRD, it all started with a trailer. I saw the trailer for the Ben Wheatley-produced Tank 432 (aka: Belly of the Bulldog) way back in May. I’m a fan of Wheatley’s brand of indie art house horror/weirdness for the most part (as you may have read), and … More Tank 432 (2016) – REVIEW
I had an opportunity to see an advanced screening of Green Room from Blue Ruin director, Jeremy Saulnier, last night. So, obviously, I went. (obvious because you saw the title of this review. and because what else am i going to do on a thursday night?) Blue Ruin was great. It was a tense revenge thriller … More REVIEW – Green Room (2016)
I didn’t see The Purge. (just thought I’d get that out of the way) I saw the trailer(s) and figured that I’d see it eventually when/if it hit Netflix. I never expected much from it (and i still don’t, i suppose) but it looked like it might be an interesting premise. Then The Purge: … More Review: The Purge: Anarchy (2014)
I got a press e-mail (yes, some people consider me ‘press’) about Camino just a few hours before I got a regular people e-mail from the illustrious (and unofficial producer/mentor/guru at NoRealDanger) Wolfman (of The Wolfman Cometh fame) telling me that I should review Camino. Now, that guy’s opinion is always at the top of my … More REVIEW – Camino (2016)
