The World is Full of Secrets Review
Sadly October is coming to an end very shortly. With a few days left in the month, my goal of watching at least one horror film per day continues. Although, I’m not necessarily sure I can categorize this one as a horror movie. Read on as I discuss Graham Swon’s The World is Full of Secrets. The Plot An elderly woman recalls one night as a young girl when her and her friends got together without any parental supervision. The five teens tell scary stories, getting more morbid as they continue on. My Thoughts The World is Full of Secrets … Read More

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

Retaliation Review
We all love horror. We even have our favorite sub-genre of horror, one that we just can’t get enough of. Personally, I go through phases; One month, I’ll watch nothing but slasher flicks. Another month, it’ll be just found footage films for yours truly. Still, there is one sub-genre that I will never say no to. That is the revenge film. For this reason alone, I could not pass up the opportunity to watch Ludwig and Paul Shammasian’s Retaliation. The Plot After a night at the pub with his closest friends, Malky (Orlando Bloom, The Lord of the Rings trilogy) … Read More
This is His Story
Iceman Review
Ever since I started reviewing films for this site, I’ve been afforded countless opportunities to learn about and watch many films that I would otherwise be completely unaware of. This isn’t always a great thing because, as we all know, not all movies are created equal. With that said, there are in fact many amazing flicks out there that deserve to reach a wider audience. One of those is Felix Randau’s Iceman. The Plot Kelab is the primary caretaker of his entire tribe. During one of his many trips away from his family, his village is attacked, everyone slaughtered. His … Read More

The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then Bigfoot Review
More often than not, the title of a film is usually a pretty good indication of what you’re getting yourself into. If words like “slaughter” or “massacre” appear anywhere, it’s pretty safe to put your money on it being a rather bloody affair. When you have a title like Robert D. Krzykowski’s latest film, however, things aren’t quite as they clear. The title that I am referring to is The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then Bigfoot. The Plot War veteran, Calvin Barr (Sam Elliott, Tombstone, Hulk), is once again called upon by the government. This time it isn’t to … Read More
He’s Come Back for Me
Last Girl Standing Review
All [good] slasher movies have them. The them I’m referring to is, of course, the sole survivor, the last one left, the final girl. The trope of the ‘final girl’ has been explored more deeply in recent years with films like Final Girl and The Final Girls, both appropriately named, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t more to be done with the idea. That’s exactly what director Ben Moody wanted to show us horror fans with his feature film, Last Girl Standing. Camryn (Akasha Villalobos) is the sole survivor of a brutal massacre in which her entire group of friends … Read More
