The Invoking 2 Review

The Invoking 2

Anthology films have been a part of the horror genre for decades. From the British film of the 1940’s, Dead of Night, to 1963’s Black Sabbath directed by Italian legend Mario Bava, all the way through the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, and so on, horror anthologies have been bringing fans tales of the grotesque covering any topic you can think of. It seems that the last few years has seen a resurgence in the popularity of these types of horror [...]

Hey Batter Batter!

Scream Machine Review

Scream Machine

It’s obvious that writer/director/producer Scarlet Fry aka Walter Ruether III is a fan of all things horror and that can be an admirable trait in a filmmaker. However, his film Scream Machine is less of a love letter to genre greats and more of an insult.

Despite having an introduction by Lloyd Kaufman of Troma fame, this film is one big let down in all aspects of horror. Told in anthology form by two terrible hosts, Dr. Fry and Dr. [...]

This Will Protect You

Voices From the Grave Review

Voices From the Grave

Directors Laurence Holloway and Richard Stoudt’s new film, Voices From the Grave, brings us a horror anthology that has everything we would expect plus more.

I have to say that for a lower budget film, the stories in Voices really move at a pace that you wouldn’t expect and despite some acting and voice overs being less than stellar, the story is captivating and fun.

Each of the three segments are fun with no real weak links among them. [...]

Santa, Move Your Fat Ass

Zombieworld Review

Zombieworld

Anyone who pays any kind of attention to the horror genre already knows about the V/H/S and The ABCs of Death franchises, but there is a brilliant anthology film that I fear is going under too many people’s radars. Produced by Jesse Baget and featuring work by a multitude of directors, Zombieworld is gory as hell and an all out blast!

Like the other anthology series I already mentioned, Zombieworld features numerous directors tackling their own short films, which are [...]

Put That Thing Down

V/H/S: Viral Review

V/H/S: Viral

With the seemingly increasing success of franchise releases, The ABCs of Death and V/H/S, it is safe to say that anthology films are here to stay. This isn’t a bad thing as some of the best horror releases of the past were anthology flicks. Look at stuff like Creepshow, Body Bags, Tales from the Hood, and many more, and you can see that there is certainly success to be had with entertaining and well thought out [...]

We Should Have Killed You All!

ABCs of Death 2 Review

ABCs of Death 2

I am completely on board with the anthology craze that the horror genre has been seeing the past few years. Hell, it’s produced some pretty great releases. Because every release seems to try to outdo the others floating around out there, filmmakers are getting pretty ambitious. Perhaps this is most evident in the ABCs of Death franchise. I remember being really disappointed with the first film release back in 2012, but I think I have grown to appreciate things differently [...]
