It may seem odd that I’m reviewing Rest Stop right now since it’s a decade old. Should it be in my “underappreciated” category? Maybe. But I hesitate to label it that because it’s not super great (that’s not the final cut by the way. keep reading please). I’m only reviewing it because it’s … More REVIEW – Rest Stop (2006)
I wasn’t planning on writing about Scott Schirmer’s Found. It’s been out for a while. It is a relatively unknown film. And, frankly, it’s not especially great. But, after watching it, I haven’t stopped thinking about it for the past few nights. What I keep coming back to are scenes or ideas in the film … More Found (2012) – REVIEW
A while back, I saw the trailer for Summer of Blood. It looked like a funny, goofy vampire movie. It seemed like director/writer/star, Onur Tukel, would be playing a parody of Tim Heidecker’s character from The Comedy – an unambitious New Yorker. And he would be a vampire. My interest was piqued. I put it … More REVIEW – Summer of Blood (2014)
Let’s get that question mark up there out of the way, shall we. IMDB, which I’ve long considered the film info bible, has two entries for The Houses October Built. One is listed as a 2011 film and one a 2014 film. Both have the same stars, director, writers, and whatnot. 2011 has an additional … More The Houses October Built (2014?)- REVIEW
After reading The Wolfman’s awesome list of Netflix horror picks, I decided to make a point of watching the two films that I hadn’t seen yet – Honeymoon and The Houses October Built. I may not trust him personally (why’s he always hiding his face?), but I do trust that guy’s film recs. I watched … More Honeymoon (2014) – REVIEW
The Rasmussen Brothers, Michael and Shawn, are best known for writing John Carpenter’s The Ward – a film that has been collecting virtual dust in my Netflix queue for a very long time. (I’ll get around to it…eventually.) Descriptions for The Ward mention a ghost. Apparently, ghost stories are the Rasmussen’s forte (which, I’m told … More REVIEW – The Inhabitants (2015)
Ritual is a relationship drama tucked into a occult sacrifice horror/thriller. Its director, Mickey Keating, has become something of a horror media darling (nailed it!) since the premiere of his film, Darling, at Fantastic Fest 2015. This earlier film offers a glimpse into the talent that would go on to make Darling (which, I have … More Ritual (2013) – REVIEW
Creep is a found footage film. I thought I should get that out of the way right off the bat. Love it or hate it, it seems like it’s here to stay. I could write a post or three just about found footage – why it’s used, when it’s done right, and how it goes … More Creep (2014) – REVIEW
Tobe Hooper followed up The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (and, yes, that is how you write that title) with the sleazy proto-slasher Eaten Alive (aka Death Trap/Starlight Slaughter/Horror Hotel). The film was written by Hooper’s TCSM co-writer, Kim Henkel (who I once thought was a woman … More Eaten Alive (1976) – VIDEO NASTIES – REVIEW
If you know who Tim Ritter is, you most likely know him as the director of the video store horror shelf staple, Truth or Dare?: A Critical Madness. In the late 80s, the movie really set the junior high schools (now called middle schools) abuzz with whispers of late night cable viewings of the crazy … More UNDERAPPRECIATED – Killing Spree (1987)
