Remember that invigorating sense of wild-eyed wonder and amazement we all felt the first time we saw a real dinosaur? Ok, it wasn’t “real” but it did seem like it when that Brachiosaurus stomped into the scene back in 1993’s Jurassic Park, chomping mouthfuls of leaves as Laura ...

Ridiculous. Funny. And now on blu-ray thanks to Scream Factory! Cheap and cheesy, Alien Predators, originally released on VHS as The Falling, was one of my many go-to flicks at the video store back in the day. Oh, to be held in the arms of the lovely Lynn-Holly Johnson ...

It’s big and overweight. It has weird hair. It’s white. It eats skiers and children and, no, it’s not Donald Trump. It is, in fact, the SNOWBEAST and, if you are moving at a high rate of speed down a mountain, chances are good that he will gobble your ass up in his mouth and grind your bones into powder ...

The Sleeper: Special Collector's Edition (2012) - Blu-ray Review

Time to sleep! Making its blu-ray debut is a retrograde schlock fest, The Sleeper, that gets quite a number of horror elements right in its 90-minutes. It is a film that embraces the ABSOLUTE Disturbing as one man, with milky-blue eyes and one hell of sick whisper, stalks the halls and ...

Wolf Club - Chasing the Storm

Do you always drive by night?" She said, looking at him with a worrying gaze. "Yes." He took a drag from his half burned cigarette while gazing the city lights below. "Isn't that dangerous? Especially in your line of work?" She turned her eyes to the city ...

A decade is a long time to wait. But, sometimes, it pays off. That's the case here with The Strangers: Prey at Night. The same steady pace. The same unwinding feel. And, oh, the same horror. Strangers: Prey at Night is as unsettling as the original film, making it a worthy ...

Any film that credits Orson Welles as Magic Consultant must be, at the very least, viewed once in a person’s life. Even if the film is a big pile of stinky poop. Horror film or cult comedy? You decide. The film is not successful at either and yet it continues to exist and, as you’d ...

Who knew that Bigfoot was an overgrown peeping Tom? Someone did because, in the fully restored version of Abominable, fans get to see that hairy bastard spy on a showering girl and then, as she comes near the window to close it, witness him reach right in, pull ...
