I have to post the Netflix synopsis here because I’m going to bitch about it. I mean, come the fuck on, Netflix! You’re getting a flat fee from me. Blockbuster’s mail order service sucks. You’re gonna get my money, so you might as well tell me what the movie is really about! Here...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0820111/ I’m not even going to attempt a plot synopsis of this movie, and neither has anyone on IMDb. Read on… ( ) Ronnie: a very shoddy looking noose that… I wouldn’t trust it… ( ) Alex: well it looks like he got his wish anyway, in the form of weird tentacles ( ) Ronnie: uh oh… is...

Someone bought this movie for me as a gift yesterday knowing my love for both Japanese movies and horror. While many of the characters are demons, I have to start with the disclaimer that this is not a horror movie per se, rather a film of a novelization of a historical political drama. The...

Master of the Universe (MOTU for short) is a movie I remember fondly from my childhood.  It was the kind of film you would see played on TBS and WB channels on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, usually buried in a marathon of similarly-themed sci-fi epics.  So you can imagine the delight I found...

Madman was released in 1982, right in the thick of the tidal wave of Friday the 13th slasher clones that were being pumped out at a mind boggling rate.  From big budget national release dice ‘em ups, to low budget, backyard quality rampage flicks, the movie industry saw the unprecedented success of films like...

I didn’t know when I started my foray into horror writing three months ago that I would be going through my own lifetime wish list of movies to watch, but here I am again. I’m not the most technologically advanced of humans, so it took me until this year to get a copy of...
