Nightmare Beach (1989) - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 13 October 2019; Written by Loron Hays

Dudes named Diablo don’t ever die. And you probably shouldn’t fuck around with them either – especially when they, upon the eve of their death sentence being carried out, vow to return . . . to kill everyone who chooses Florida as their ...

Killer Crocodile/Killer Crocodile 2 (1989, 1990) - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 10 October 2019; Written by Loron Hays

It’s Crocsploitation Cinema at its feistiest! The cheese! The chomp! The charm! What is this movie JAWS that you speak of?! And this Steven Spielberg, too? Apparently, the Italians have never heard of him or his pet shark. When it comes to fierce predators of the ...

Gemini Man (2019) - Movie Review

Details: Published: 11 October 2019; Written by Frank Wilkins

Rarely does conventional wisdom hold in Hollywood. Particularly with regards to the notion that less is more and that simplicity is superior to elaborate embellishment. Take, for instance Jerry Bruckheimer, the titan of TNT, who subscribes to the theory that if a candle is needed ...

Toy Story 4 (2019) - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 21 June 2019; Written by Frank Wilkins

Bad news: Toy Story 4 is Pixar’s biggest money grab to date. Good news: This is Pixar, so it never feels like one. It is not a stretch to say that the company couldn’t make a bad movie if it tried. After all, none of its films ...

Details: Published: 05 July 2019; Written by Frank Wilkins

Here’s a bit of life advice. Never trust the remote village that no one has ever heard of, especially if it puts on a pagan celebration that even fewer are aware of. I promise, you’ll thank me later for this. ...

Annabelle Comes Home - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 09 October 2019; Written by Loron Hays

Lucky number seven? Well, just barely. The seventh movie in the ongoing The Conjuring franchise isn’t the best of the series but, hopefully, it will be the final one involving that damn doll. She’s twisted as hell and, as revealed here, is a sort of conduit for all sorts of evil spirits, not just ...

Spider-Man: Far From Home - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 03 July 2019; Written by Christopher Symonds

Making any film is a tricky endeavor, let alone a film in a franchise that shows no duds. Added to which, this latest incarnation has been balanced carefully between ...

Holiday Hell - Movie Review

Details: Published: 08 October 2019; Written by Loron Hays

Sometimes getting the perfect gift for someone requires a sacrifice. That’s where the horror anthology, Holiday Hell, comes into play. For us, it seems that waiting until the very last minute to get the perfect (and weird) gift for someone is one big payoff with a brand-new horror film ...

The Prey (1984) - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 03 October 2019; Written by Loron Hays

If all the padded nature shots won't kill you, then maybe the monster in the woods will! If I told you that this slasher was made in just two weeks, you would probably believe me. Every single detail (and edit for that matter) suggests ...
