David M. Rosenthal’s A Single Shot is a brutal and savage slice of crime cinema. It’s as moody as the Mississippi river and as poetic. While it offers nothing new to the genre, the thriller does make...
We all know that Frankenstein’s sickness can’t be cured. To paraphrase the spritely grotesque Frankenstein’s Army , that sickness must be cut out…with the nastiest of dirty blades. But what if Dr. Vik...
Containing one of the most sickening and shocking unveiling scenes in horror history, Kurt Nuemann’s The Fly finally lands on Blu-ray this week. Fify -years later and still this giant-sized insect can...
Allow me to be blunt. Insidious: Chapter 2 is scary … scary bad. There, I said it, it’s comparable only to watching an awful student film that goes nowhere in 105 minutes. It is also completely unnece...
Two full seasons have passed and finally the characters of Haven are given the chance to really flourish. All the hidden powers have been revealed and, while more characters are added, there’s a certa...
The old school blade of horror and suspense gets sharpened in heavy metal rocker-turned-filmmaker Rob Zombie’s The Lords of Salem . While it was much maligned by critics upon its initial release, the...
As far as exploitation cinema goes, Hells Angels on Wheels is actually a solid offering of two-wheeled mayhem in the years before Easy Rider . It was originally filmed when people and headline news we...
Sharknado is a magnificent joke; a really, really splendid joke of a bad movie. Wait, your brain says, if it’s a joke then how is it worthy of all those stars? How can it be considered perfect? Becaus...
Perhaps the timing of Riddick , the sequel to Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick is a stroke of genius. After all, it’s a literal dead season for movies and there is just little of great intere...
Heads will roll. Lots and lots and lots of 'em. Based on the comic book series of the same name by Robert Kirkman, The Walking Dead continues its macabre assault on AMC with a mighty third season that...
Once upon a very brief time, Dolph Lundgren was being groomed to be the next badass superstar. And then Hollywood woke up, realizing he was already a parody. Made at the very peak of his brief rise to...
Oh, but no. Just no. Having no idea what to expect from a movie entitled Pawn Shop Chronicles but sporting an interesting cast, I thought I would give it a fair shake. Unfortunately, that’s where my f...
I’m being generous with a 3 star review for Larry Cohen’s flawed movie, I know. Kick dust at me. Go ahead. The gimme-my-paycheck acting of David Carradine is terrible; the court scenes are grueling at...
A slimmed-down (or well-concealed) John Travolta plays a cold-blooded Serbian war criminal (wait, what?) and Robert De Niro forgets his southern accent over Jaeger shots in director Mark Steven Johnso...
Loosely based on the real life Canadian manhunt for `Mad Trapper' Albert Johnson, director Peter Hunt ( On Her Majesty’s Secret Service ) proves once again to be stellar behind the camera as Death Hun...
