I Found Something
Devil's Knot Review
Based on the true story of the West Memphis three, Atom Egoyan’s Devil’s Knot is one of the most interesting and disturbing films I’ve ever seen. Not disturbing in the way most films that Roger and I review are, but because of the amount of lunacy that occurred in the courtroom in Arkansas in 1994.
Three 8-year-old boys are found dead, bound and castrated, in the town’s river. The entire town, including the police department and court judge place the [...]
The Border Has No Memory
Borderland Review
Similar to how I was checking out the Bloody Disgusting Selects film series months back, I recently starting watching the movies released in the After Dark Originals series. I’ve seen a bunch of great films already, including Zev Berman’s 2007 flick, Borderland.

Children of Sorrow Review

I’m sure not all religious cults are the same, but Jourdan McClure’s Children of Sorrow may very well [...]
It’s Bound to Leave Some Scars
Holy Ghost People Review
XLrator Media is quickly becoming one of my favorite studios which releases films in the horror genre, under their Macabre label.

Mitchell Altieri’s Holy Ghost People is definitely no exception to that notion. [...]

The Bridgewater Triangle Review
I have always enjoyed watching documentaries, especially those dealing with anything horror-related. When I was approached to watch and review Aaron Cadieux and Manny Famolare’s “The Bridgewater Triangle,” I jumped at the chance!
The Bridgewater Triangle is a region located in the Southeastern portion of Massachusetts. Within this triangularly marked off area, occurrences of strange phenomena has been reported for over 30 years. What kind of strange phenomena? Anything you can think of! According to this documentary, there have been [...]
