“People once believed that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can’t rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right.” OK, […]

By Natasha Samreny “Now don’t get me wrong, you’ll see very many impressive things on this tour. But there are no aliens to be found in Area 51.” The general lies. There are aliens, and when they get loose the reporters are there to catch everything on camera. Good aliens, bad aliens, guns and journalists […]

When these 31 Nights of Terror started, I was pretty much set on spending time with both Condemned: Criminal Origins and the sequel Condemned 2: Bloodshot. As I got farther into researching the first adventure, I realized I rather keep on writing with the same material. There was certainly more story to tell and furthermore […]

By Natasha Samreny “General, he was stronger than the others. That’s why he lasted so long. I don’t know why General, but he seems to be getting stronger all the time.” The next time you want to scare yourself on Halloween without guaranteed nightmares, watch The Incredible Melting Man. It’s melty, scary and you get […]

“Now children, are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin…” A good ghost story is actually pretty hard to pull off. Unlike a typical slasher or monster movie, ghost stories can’t really depend on visual elements to carry the burden. Certainly, there have been those films where apparitions take on some pretty creepy forms, and that […]

Just look at the title, A Horrible Way To Die, and I’ll bet you pretty much know what you’re in for. You could very well be expecting a gore-fest that borders on the torture-porn genre, and you might be preparing yourself for some imaginative and bloody kills. Looking at the title you’d have every reason […]

They call it Howl-O-Scream, and what a scream it is, literally. I dressed in a Frankenstein’s Monster shirt that was given to me by Sara Karloff, daughter to the late great Boris, herself. Anything to get into the mood. So with proper attire and tickets in hand, Ellen, my wife, and I drove the 10 […]

Perhaps it is a cliché for a lot of review writers on here to aspire to be “published writers”. To go beyond the webpages that we put out two and three times a week (and in case of some hard working site owners and webmasters, two to three times daily) and produce a physical, published […]

“Rush Week just became Death Week!” Let me say first off that director Alex Pucci knows something about production values. For a film shot on Super 16mm for a reported budget of around $1 million, Pucci delivered a film that looks and sounds far more expensive. Reportedly attempting to be a homage to the seventies […]

By Natasha Samreny South of Heaven carried far too much violence and gore for me to look past. Maybe enjoy isn’t the best word, but I had a hard time stomaching and therefore appreciating the film fully because of its nature. If you’re not a fan of such horror movies, even with beautiful design, cinematography […]

“You have the right to remain silent… forever!” Maniac Cop is a movie that has all the elements of being a cult classic.

By Natasha Samreny In a world where people still got land-line phone calls in restaurants and $1 cocktails were considered expensive, Boris Karloff is detective James Lee Wong. Better known as Mr. Wong, the Chinese sleuth is based on author Charles Wiley’s mystery series character. In Doomed to Die, Wong works the case of a […]

Of course, you might now be expecting a review of Jackson’s remake of King Kong. But the primate here is something called a rat monkey, and it […]

A few years back, Paramount released all eight of the studio’s Friday the 13th films in a so-called “Ultimate Edition.” With cut versions of the films and no 3D, it wasn’t really that ultimate. So here we are again, with another Ultimate Edition (also Limited!) and this time, the package is much more worthy of […]

“I guess if this is the first you’re hearing about it, I know how this must all sound.” Unless you’ve been in a coma like the lead character of The Walking Dead, you’ve been hearing a lot about this AMC television series of late. It’s no wonder. I’m amazed that it’s taken so long to […]

“It’s worse than I thought, but it’s even worse upstairs… It’s dangerous. Do not go there.” Uruguayan director Gustavo Hernández claims to have shot the first 78 minutes of The Silent House in one continuous unbroken take. Personally, I don’t believe that to be true, as there are plenty of times the camera goes to […]
