It’s been awhile (like that song!) since I’ve done one of these “video nasties” posts. Now’s as good a time as any, I suppose. And what better film to cover than The Burning? I’ve seen The Burning several times both on the small screen and the big. That’s not gauche braggery, I’m just establishing … More The Burning (1981) – VIDEO NASTIES REVIEW
Possession movies aren’t necessarily my favorite types of movies. I admit that The Exorcist is a damn fine film that is shocking and terrifying at times, but I think it’s pacing is a bit slow for my tastes. (i repeat: it’s a damn fine movie. don’t run me out of town on a rail) … More Ava’s Possessions (2016) – REVIEW
Joe Hill’s “NOS4A2” was on my ‘to read’ list for a long time, but I’m not sure why. I’d only read “Heart-Shaped Box” previously and it didn’t necessarily leave me breathlessly excited to read more by Hill. (thougth it was a decent story) I think it may have been because I subconsciously assumed that … More BOOK – NOS4A2 by Joe Hill
When I saw the trailer for Digging Up the Marrow (a lot of my intros start like that, huh?), I thought it looked like an interesting story. Director Adam Green’s Hatchet was pretty good (though I didn’t stick with the franchise after Hatchet II) and Frozen looked decent and I’ve been meaning to check … More Digging Up the Marrow (2014) – REVIEW
I liked the advertising for The Witch (i’m not going to write “The VVitch”, though i do think that bit of typographical flair is pretty awesome) quite a bit. The posters look rad. The trailer was rad. I was sold. But I didn’t get a chance to see it for a few days after … More The Witch (2015) – REVIEW
Remember when we were all super-stoked on those guys from the Stan Winston effects studio making a practical effects-heavy creature feature called Harbinger Down. And they asked us super-stoked dudes and… (shit – dudettes sounds stupid, but i don’t know what female dudes are. just know, you’re included too, ladies) to pay for it? … More REVEIW – Harbinger Down (2015)
Looks like it’s about time for another book review from the ol’ Danger. Chuck Palahniuk’s “Haunted” has been on my radar for a while now. I’d been meaning to get around to it, but I put it off and forgot about it until I found it at a rad non-profit bookshop in Chicago (Open … More Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk – BOOK
I’m not a huge fan of scary kids movies. (i don’t mean movies for kids that are scary. i like those) I’ve just never really found a 50 pound kid very menacing. Sure, there are a few exceptions, but overall, they’re not my thing. So, when I heard about Hellions, I wasn’t super … More Hellions (2015) – REVIEW
To give you some context for my Red State review, I should first talk a little about my feelings on Kevin Smith’s films. I guess that’s a short discussion, because it could be summed up with, ‘I don’t like them.’ Ok, that’s over-simplified. I admit that I thought Clerks was fairly funny when … More REVIEW – Red State (2011)
I knew almost zero about Spring when I went into it. I’d read tweets admonishing horror fans to check it out and be patient with it. From that bit of advice, I assumed that it would be a slow build with maybe some good violence at the climax. Which sounded fine to me. Because, honestly, I … More Spring (2014) – REVIEW
