The red lights strung without care. The hushed voices coming from just around the corner. The decrepit elf under the bed. And the smile; THAT stretched out smile. It shouldn’t be on the face of a child so young, but it is in this horror movie. Christmas shouldn’t be ...
Cornfields and the bloody effigies raised in them that strike large, looming shadows and cause the skies to fill with big, black crows are no joke. Many a haunted tale has been heard concerning those creepy places. And on camera? Well, the same can be said of the ...
Tough. Violent. With no CGI, a low budget horror film attempts to do what few can: tell two twisted stories around a transformation. You already know there are werewolves in this film. The poster art doesn’t lie. What you don’t know is that, on the horrific ...

David Lynch. Russ Meyer. Roger Corman. Orson Welles. The influences of the directors who helped inspire the somewhat tortured (and tragic) reign of The Queen of Hollywood Blvd are spotted throughout the elegance of Orson Oblowitz's tale of blood and neon ...
Writer/director Harley Wallen (Moving Parts) is back behind the camera. This time he is handling the subject of human trafficking. Unfortunately, the strong production values and sureness behind the camera can’t overcome a weak script and even weaker performances ...
