Boar Review
Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve and I will be spending most of the day with my family. For this reason, it is safe to say that tonight was the last chance I had to get one final review in for 2019. Wanting to end the year on a good note, I decided to actually re-watch a film that I have already seen and I know for a fact I enjoy. The film I decided to re-visit is Chris Sun’s Boar [...]
Everybody’s Afraid Sometime
Venom Review
One of my favorite things about the horror genre is the diversity of its antagonists. The killers of our favorite movies come in all shapes and sizes. There are the brooding villains from the slasher films, supernatural entities that haunt and hunt their prey alike. Hell, there are even killer gingerbread men and murdering puppets! However, among all of these, some of my favorite films are those that utilize nature’s various killers. You know, films like Jaws, Shakma, [...]
It’s Eating Me…
Pig Hunt Review
A little while back, I reviewed two films by Australian director Chris Sun, which I greatly enjoyed (see Charlie’s Farm and Daddy’s Little Girl). After a bit of reading on the internet, I learned of his next film about a mammoth of a pig, aptly titled Boar. Quickly getting excited, I just couldn’t wait for the film to be finished, so to keep my appetite for destruction at bay, I found another murderous swine flick to enjoy — [...]
Your Bacon’s Burning
Long Weekend Review
I had no idea how many ‘killer animal’ flicks there really were floating around out there. I’ve seen a whole bunch, as I’m actually a pretty big fan of the sub-genre, but I always love hearing and reading about ones that I’ve managed to miss over the years. I thought I had a pretty good grasp, but it seems that a lot of the old 70’s and 80’s ones are completely off my radar. Until now, that is! Synapse Films [...]

Piranha 2 :The Spawning Review
I have seen thousands of campy movies in my life time, all of which I enjoy for a multitude of reasons. However, I’m ashamed to admit that until recently, I had not seen the 1981 camp fest known as Piranha 2 :The Spawning. I was incredibly familiar with the first film, as well as the remake and its sequel, so I’m not entirely sure how the original sequel slipped by me. Once I had a copy in my possession, [...]
Come to the Slaughter!
Rats: Night of Terror Review
We all know that October is considered “Halloween month” and even all of the non-horror fans get caught up in the spirit, watching scary movie after scary movie. Well, as you guys know, Roger and I do that every day of the year, so October is no different. My first review of the month is for Bruno Mattei’s (going by Vincent Dawn) 1984 sci-fi killer rat film, Rats: Night of Terror.
Set in a post-apocalyptic world in the year [...]
