“Is this dog incredible or what?”  That’s the question Ally Sheedy asks her cameraman when, after being attacked by a stranger, a hulking dog she just rescued from a vivisection experimental lab runs off the would-be burglar and fetches her purse. ...

Pet Graveyard (2019) - Movie Review

To this day, there remains something insanely special about director Brian De Palma’s Carrie.  It is based on the once-discarded novel by Stephen King, but was painstakingly adapted for the screen by Lawrence D. Cohen.  Cohen got everything about King’s first novel right  ...

American Poltergeist: The Curse of Lilith Ratchet (2019) - Movie Review

Now, Gore-gore Hounds and Blistering Boils, I don’t know about you but when I take a bath – especially when my friend has been splattered on the ground and run over raw by a car – that last thing I want, naked and soaked in the bubbles of a warm bath, are long, thin, boney  ...

Captive State (2019) - Movie Review

Like the trojan horse at the heart of its central allusion, Captive State isn’t what it initially appears to be. Perhaps due to its dour subject matter, its refusal to kowtow to mass appeal, or maybe even because Focus Features didn’t truly know what to do with it, the film is  ...

The Craft: Collector's Edition (1996) - Blu-ray Review

We are the weirdos, Mister. Honestly, in a modern day viewing, The Craft feels richer than it did when I originally saw the film.  There is a lot to appreciate about the film and its tale of sisterhood among four high school friends.  The situations feel real and, certainly, the black ...
