A Bucket of Blood Review
I like to think of myself as an equal opportunity horror fan. I enjoy films from every and all sub-genres, and while I favor those from the 80s and later, I tend to visit even earlier works from time to time. Tonight, travel with me to the late 50s as I discuss Roger Corman’s A Bucket of Blood.

Tone-Deaf Review
While I tend to try and learn at least a little bit about a film before going into it, sometimes it is more fun going in completely blind. There are so many films being released, seemingly daily, that it is extremely difficult to be in-the-know about every single one, even if I tried. The newest film that has crossed my path unexpectedly is Richard Bates Jr.’s Tone-Deaf.

Anna and the Apocalypse Review
I’m not sure what is going on with the Universe, but time flies by way too quickly nowadays. Unfortunately, as I get older, that all seems to happen even more rapidly. As if the year didn’t speed by quickly enough on its own, I’ve decided to help things along by watching a film which takes place during Christmas time. The film I am referring to is John McPhail’s Anna and the Apocalypse.

The Dead Don't Die Review
It’s truly a great time to be a horror fan. Over the last few years especially, the genre all of us have loved for so long has been reaching more and more people. An entirely new audience is being subjected to countless TV shows, films, and other horror content, something I would have never imagined just a decade ago. With that new reach comes new ideas from filmmakers. Some are hit, some are miss. Read on to see where Jim [...]

Slaughterhouse Rulez Review
When I was younger, I absolutely loathed horror comedies. I didn’t see any place for a film to be both funny and terrifying. Sure, I made exceptions for flicks like The Evil Dead or Dead Alive. Other than those and perhaps a select few others, I wasn’t having it. Now, older and wiser, with open arms, I welcome the marriage of the two genres. The latest film that utilizes this lovely union successfully is Crispian Mills’ Slaughterhouse Rulez.

CarousHELL Review
It’s always fascinating to me how filmmakers are able to come up with new and original ideas in 2019. There have been hundreds of thousands of movies created, so isn’t it nearly impossible to come up with a story that hasn’t been done before? It seems one director in particular didn’t get that memo because I can assure you that Steve Rudzinski’s CarousHELL is as original as they come!
