First there was Jaws then, probably due to the economy, they scaled it back to Piranha. Now in 2010, ironically in an economic down turn, we have Piranha (3D). The original Piranha movie was hardly an Oscar contender so I really wasn’t expecting much from this or it’s 3D *WOOT! WOOT! RANT ALERT, RANT...

Nightmares in Red, White and Blue is a documentary which, as its tag line implies, tells the tale of the American horror film from it’s earliest origins (1910 short of Frankenstein) through to modern day remakes of the classics. The documentary, narrated by Lance Henrikson, starts with the movies made after the real horror...

Sharktopus is the new epic from SyFy Channel. If you haven’t experienced their awesomeness then you need to check out Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus, Dinocroc vs Supergator and the ilk. Well, should you be unfortunate enough to have seen neither of them, SyFy have recently unleashed the Sharktopus trailer! Horrah! Bask in it’s...

I’ve reviewed some sick and harsh films over the years (eg: Martyrs, Ebola Syndrome, The Human Centipede etc.) but this one takes the biscuit. In fact, it eats the entire packet and spits the crumbs in my face! Srpski Film (aka: A Serbian Film) goes places no film should go. Yes, I’ll be hyping...

OK, by rights this is a ridiculous idea that should have me turning off my TV. But I’m the curious sort, and I do like anything non-Hollywood. The Human Centipede (First Sequence, no less!) is from the Netherlands. But, the main character is German. The two girls are American. And the other guy is...

I remember seeing this waaaay back when it appeared on (VHS) video in the late eighties (early nineties) and was eager to see how it stood up twenty-odd years after its release. And it still kinda works. The plot is basic, to say the least, but sufficient. A killer cop is roaming the streets...

The oringinal A Nightmare on Elm Street has a rabid fan-base. They’re highly protective of their slasher and treat Robert Englund as God-like (and rightly so). Thus, doing a remake of the original was always going to provoke a negative reaction, but to not case Mr. Englund? Then… then they changed the look of Freddy’s...

Trashy movies were on the agenda for me this weekend, but I kept getting sucked into actual quality films like this 2007 Korean offering from the Jung brothers. Told out of chronological order by a possibly unreliable and definitely mysterious narrator, Epitaph is a cleverly woven anthology of three terrifying love stories. There’s some good...

Watching Killer Klowns made me feel like I was watching someone else’s bad LSD trip and being very entertained by it. It has all the comfortable 80s comedy elements, which is the other reason I love the movie, but it’s the visuals that set it apart. While hanging out at makeout point in their small college town,...
