As soon as I see Takashi Miike on something I know that it’ll be a wild ride, and to expect something that will encompass the  weird and bizarre,  have horror and gore, yet also be thought provoking and funny. Something no other director can do, especially not in Hollywood! Tantei Monogatari (aka: Detective Story) starts...

Daybreakers is the latest movie to hit theaters that is looking to stake a claim in the vampire media frenzy that has taken over both the big and small screens.  From Twilight (I need an acid bath every time I so much as type that name) to True Blood, the bloodsucking freaks have been...

Another day, another slasher film.  During my regular rounds of combing the information superhighway for the most underrated and forgotten orphans of my beloved genre, it dawned on me that I had yet to pay humble tribute, in the form of a review, to one of the better and more classic slasher films of...

I should really change the name of our site to “Alex shows you why the only movies you ever really need to see were made from about 1979 to 1989.”  That’s not true, because some great movies came out before and after that decade long window, but the more and more I dig into...

Maniac was a pretty controversial film when it was released, and now that I can finally say I have seen it in its entirety, I can certainly understand why it was zeroed in on as a prime target by worried mommies and overly concerned groups.  Its title accurately describes the main characters as well...

Necronomicon is a lesser-known entry into the peculiar sub-division of horror known as the anthology film.  If you are unfamiliar with anthology flicks, they often house 3 or more short stories with a framing device often referred to as a “wraparound” loosely tying them all together and sometimes acting as another story altogether.  Necronomicon...
