Val Lewton, making 1940s B-flicks look nothing like other horror films of the 1940s, is a certifiable genius of the cinema. His ability to plunge audiences straight into nightmares is uncanny. Madness and death, there’s our recurring fear factor in ...
Still considered today to be one of Harold Lloyd’s finest films, The Kid Brother makes its debut on blu-ray thanks to the the Criterion Collection. It is, of course, one of Lloyd’s sweetest and funniest films, with more sight gags than his others, in which Lloyd plays Harold Hickory ...
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 ...

“Why are there potatoes on the board every day? Who took my desk? Put that knife away!” If your high school was anything like the knife-wielding, gun-toting, slingshot-carrying school that is featured in Showdown then, man, you just might ...
When in doubt, Big Mama knows! This is what happens when AWFUL becomes ART. I can hear the pro-lifers waxing poetic about this trashterpiece now. A woman’s aborted fetus attacks her ...

He will EAT your soul! That’s the threat that is received when The Witches, a supernatural horror film from Hammer Studios, opens as a school teacher at a mission school in Africa is quickly packing her things. There is trouble afoot and the tribal drums are an indicator ...

With her decision made, there can be only one force that flings open the double doors that lead to one character’s fate. And she will walk down the long haul with the balls of her feet digging into the ground with intention. Everyone thinks she’s mad anyway. The taking of her own life will be no real shock ...
With all its talk of radars and Pine Tree Radar Fences, it’s a wonder that The Deadly Mantis, warning of a sneak attack across the polar ice (by anyone), manages to be so much fun. STILL! But, honestly, few things in the cinematic world beat the scene where the giant insect ...
For my money, POV horror can still deliver when there is an engaged mind at the helm. This is exactly why Night, a new horror film from the sick mind of writer/director/actor Nicholas Michael Jacobs, works as well as it does ...
Carl Weathers doesn't take no lip. Watch him; however, take a baseball bat to the face of one crooked cop in Bucktown. It is a scene you won't likely forget anytime soon ...
No more power ballads! No more power ballads! That’s the chant that guitarist Pager (Rhys Coiro) of Sonic Grave keeps repeating. He’s had enough of the panty-dropping cheese and wants to rock out at Coachella this year. Can anyone blame him? The 1980s are dead and ...
Never a great movie, this one is for Christopher Lee purists only. Curse III: Blood Sacrifice has nothing to do with the other movies in the series. That should be your first indication of exactly where this one is headed. It does have some interesting moments, though. Shadows ...
It doesn’t take long for Sister Street fighter to kick a lot of ass. From catching flies and throwing them down the mouths (and up the noses) of her enemies to all the strategically thrown forks, Tina (Sue Shiomi) is a martial artist badass that knows her way through a crowded ...

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 ...
