The Tax Collector Review
My last review opened with a statement about my yearly losing battle of conducting all-month-long horror marathons. This year, although it’s only been four days, I can say that I’m doing well. While I’m sure I will be watching a genuine horror film tonight at some point, I wanted to take a break and discuss a different genre film — David Ayer’s The Tax Collector. The Plot Street enforcers David (Bobby Soto, The Quarry, A Better Life) and Creeper (Shia LaBeouf, Honey Boy, Fury), known as ‘the tax collectors,’ are responsible for collecting money from 43 different local gangs for … Read More

The Hunt Review
The other day I wrote a review for the last film that I had seen in a movie theater before this current global pandemic hit us all. Now, as I slowly attempt to get back into writer mode fully, I find it fitting to write about the first film I watched digitally once my quarantine took effect. I’m referring to Craig Zobel’s somewhat controversial 2020 flick, The Hunt. The Plot A group of strangers wake up in a random clearing with gags in their mouths and an arsenal of weapons at their disposal. It doesn’t take long for them to … Read More

VFW Review
Casual fans and people who only dabble in horror will always be so quick to tell you that the genre consists solely of remakes and reboots, that there are no original ideas left. Well, I’ll tell you something. Those people clearly don’t watch the same films that I do. More specifically, they’ve never had the pleasure of watching a Joe Begos film. Read on as I share my thoughts on his latest, VFW. The Plot After stealing a local druglord’s entire stash, Lizard makes her way into a VFW post seeking shelter. Now it is up to a group of … Read More

Nemesis 2: Nebula Review

Luckily for me, it didn’t take too long for me to acquire a newly remastered copy of Nemesis 2: Nebula. The Plot More than 70 years after LAPD officer Alex Rain failed to stop renegade cyborgs, humans have become enslaved. Scientists have developed a new DNA strain that can help in ending the Cyborg Wars for good and inject it into a host baby. Scared for the baby’s life, her mother steals a cyborg ship and takes the … Read More
Good Fake Name, Yeah?
Nemesis Review
While horror will always be my favorite, there are plenty of other genres that I actually enjoy, others that are just as fun. When done right, some of the most fun can be had with a clever combination of action and sci-fi. That is exactly what we get with Albert Pyun’s Nemesis. The Plot Troubled officer, Alex, is caught in the middle an ongoing struggle of power between systems cowboys, bio enhanced gangsters, and cyborg outlaws, when he is ordered to track down a former lover who is suspected of smuggling delicate information to terrorists. My Thoughts I knew absolutely … Read More

The Predator Review
Happy New Year to all of you sick and depraved horror nuts out there! Here’s to hoping that 2019 is full of good health, happiness, and tons of horror and sci-fi goodness! There are still a ton of flicks that I need to cross off of my 2018 watch list, so let’s start the new year off with another from the past few months, Shane Black’s The Predator. The Plot An alien ship has landed on Earth once again. Now it’s up to a group of ex-soldiers and a scientist to save the day and learn as much as they … Read More
