Folk Horror. The very combination of the words suggest a clash of ideologies and, true to its nature, this seems to be its roots. It is a concept of evil so entwined with the land that it is damn near impossible to ever tear its threads clean. The voices in the woods; the pagan ceremonies on the ...
Opening with a classic song from a bygone era is a bold move for this supernatural coming-of-age story about a bullied teen who takes matters into his own hands. Especially when that familiar chorus - as The Platters’ own Tony Williams soars vocally - kicks in and the audience witnesses ...
And just like that . . . a future cult classic has arrived! Based on a Ubisoft game and featuring a wonderful cast and of solidly realized characters, Werewolves Within is the whodunnit horror/comedy of the year. Fresh as the falling snow that has cut off the small town at the center of this ...
Your savior has arrived! There’s something wrong with Maud (Morfydd Clark, Crawl). This is important to identify correctly as we are with the poor girl for the entire movie. In fact, we never leave her side no matter what happens or what dark forces take over her body as they communicate ...
Leave this house now! Peggy (Sian Barbara Allen, Billy Two Hats) never should have taken the housekeeping job at the Elliot Estate. She knows this now that its deadly mysteries have been unearthed. Of course, it might be too late for her, but it is not too late for us. You’ve been ...
In 1992, the first feature film made by a Scottish woman was released. That was Margaret Tait with Blue Black Permanent. Seven years later, Lynne Ramsay became the second with her own feature debut, Ratcatcher. And what a debut film it is! ...
Greetings from Valkenvania! Written and directed by Ghostbusters’ Dan Akroyd, Nothing But Trouble has achieved almost legendary status as Akroyd’s OTHER horror/comedy. You know, the one that was the box office BOMB, blasting itself into oblivion with its troll-like Valkenheiser ...
It’s a party to die for! Demonic spirit or not, Killer Party proves why wild costume parties inside abandoned fraternity houses are a really bad idea. There’s just a lot to unpack by way of young adults and their raging hormones before the twisted spirits ...
This is a movie about the girl next door . . . turned into a robot in a life-saving operation by the teenage genius who lives on her block. Still with me? You should be as Deadly Friend, directed by Wes Craven, is a forgotten gem of 80’s horror schlock as it successfully combines horror elements with ...
Beware the yellow van! Opening with some great aerial shots of San Francisco, Jeremy Hoenack's Killer’s Delight (originally shot as The Sport Killer and later re-released as The Dark Ride) shocks its audience when a van that we’ve been following pulls to the side of the road and a nude, dead ...
Black magic! Like in Marilyn's books! This demon wants a lifeless body to control! Through the Fire begins with a flat tire. We have a glorious wide shot in which a white car comes to a stop against a night full of stars. That single shot is pretty awe-inspiring. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie is ...
“Kiss me, Tyler!” Alright, alright, so Girls School Screamers might be on the rather cheap end of Z-grade budget horror, but from the very beginning (in which a ghost in a wedding with worms and maggots dangling from her face scares a little boy so badly he runs from the house), to its ...
Once Upon a Time there lived a young woman named Wanda (Kathy Ireland. You know the name. Look up the number!) and she really wanted to change in order to please her surfer boyfriend. She can change! She wants to change! ...
It’s time once again to hop in the WAY BACK MACHINE and go . . . way back to another age of Hollywood HIGHS and HORROR! Pre-Code Hollywood fascinates me. There are a lot of grand and wonderful films reflecting the true culture of the time period from 1930 – 1934. Man, it must ...
A cure for a virus has some serious consequences, especially when Dead Space is involved! It’s big and its bad attitude gives it the upper hand in this . . . remake of a rip-off?! Yup. There is an interesting cut which happens early in Fred Gallo’s Dead Space, a remake of Roger Corman’s ...
