Prometheus (2012)

Ridley Scott returns to the sci-fi genre and Alien saga after a 30-year hiatus with Prometheus, a film that started out as an official prequel to the first flick, but eventually branched out and into a spinoff of sorts (still set in the past though), which would still contain a few minor connections to the…

Shelley’s Daughters

When the strange, arresting, thoroughly frightening novel called “Frankenstein” was published in London on New Year’s Day, 1818, there was no author named on the title page, and readers and reviewers, almost to a person, assumed the book had been written by a man. They were mistaken. The creator of “Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus”…

Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006)

Similar to the 1992 Belgium film, Man Bites Dog, Behind the Mask is part mockumentary and part slasher movie, with the film following a young female journalist and her crew of two (camera man and mic operator) as they document a man called Leslie Vernon — a fairly new killer hoping to climb the ranks…

Voted Most Likely to Slaughter

READING “The Slasher Movie Book” is like paging through a 1980s yearbook from a high school for maniacs. Look how young Michael and Jason look! Oh, and there’s Freddy in that sweater he wore, like, every day. And whatever happened to Chucky, that little monster? The new book, a compendium of horror film artwork to…

Outpost: Black Sun (2012)

Back in 2008 we received the first Outpost, a movie that managed to be one of the better Nazi-zombie renditions I’ve seen, even to this day. The flick offered a good blend of action and horror and really surprised me in many aspects. Now, we’re finally given a sequel that’s said to be “bigger and…

Salvage (2009)

Salvage is a great British gem of a horror movie, that obviously pays homage to the early horror master George Romero films. Besides the community trying to figure out what’s going on – military sharpshooters everywhere, both civilians and military meeting gruesome deaths, horrific screams from someone or thing on the loose – the story…

4 Mosche di Velluto Grigio (1971) AKA Four Flies on Grey Velvet

Probably the most sought after Dario Argento film and the final chapter in what has been dubbed his “Animal Trilogy”. Beginning the nickname “The Italian Hitchcock”. Starting with “Bird with the Crystal Plumage” and then “Cat ‘O Nine Tales”. Finally it gets a proper release which includes the 40 seconds missing from a lot of…

GANJA & HESS (1973) USA

Some of you may have heard of this as Blood Couple and Black Evil, but for those of you lucky enough to have seen the original in theatres or the collector Director’s Cut of Ganja & Hess have had the privilege of seeing a deep and fascinating film that just so happens to be about…

The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations (2009)

Sam Reide (Chris Carmack) witnesses a woman killed, then wakes up in an ice-filled bathtub, his vitals being monitored by his sister Jenna (Rachel Miner). Sam can travel back to any time and location during his lifetime (occupying the body of that time in his life), needing only to concentrate on where and when he…

StageFright: Aquarius (1987) AKA Deliria

Directed by Michele Soavi, protege of Dario Argento, this is his directorial debut, better known for “Cemetery Man AKA Dellamorte Dellamore (1994).” This film (also called “Bloody Bird”) garnered him the title of one of the most important up and coming Italian directors, not to mention it is a brilliant slasher film. Before he took…

The House at the End of the Street (2012)

There are three things you should know about The House at the End of the Street 1. I saw it for free and I was disappointed. 2. So were most of the other critics who saw it with me. 3. I doubt we’re the target market for this movie. If you’re a true horror fan…
