There’s No Hope For You
Horns Review
I’ve been a fan of Alexandre Aja ever since my first viewing of his 2003 film High Tension. Since that release, he had directed four more full-length films and I’ve made it a point to watch every single one of them. There is no doubt he does fabulous work with every project and his newest film, Horns, is no different.
Ignatius Perrish (Daniel Radcliffe, Harry Potter series) is suspected of killing his former girlfriend, Merrin (Juno Temple, Killer [...]
Fireworks and Unicorn Stallions
88 Review
Revenge films are always some of the most interesting to watch. They can be brutally graphic or slightly more tame, but they are always somewhat relatable, just for the sheer fact that the audience can imagine how it would feel to be in that particular situation. From Meir Zarchi’s I Spit on Your Grave to James Wan’s Death Sentence to the newer Blue Ruin directed by Jeremy Saulnier, every revenge film brings something new and exciting to the table. I [...]
So We’re the Bait
Cold in July Review
A lot of the films that are reviewed on this site are ones that are drooled over for months, before Roger or I get our hands on them. Some are old films that get new releases, new films that we read about on the internet for a while before they come out, or just a movie we’ve had on our shelves for years, that haven’t been viewed in a while. Then, other times, we get to review films that are [...]

Locke Review
With each feature that I watch, in which Tom Hardy has a role, I become more and more of a fan. From Bronson and Inception to The Dark Knight Rises and Warrior, it is clear that Hardy is an extremely versatile performer and I am convinced he can perfectly execute any role given to him. His performance in Steven Knight’s Locke is even further evidence that the man can do just about anything he wants.
Ivan Locke is driving [...]
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 [...]
We Have a Connection
Forgetting the Girl Review
Now that Roger and I have been running this site for some time, I have the opportunity to watch and review such a wide variety of films. We do your every day slasher flicks, we write about creature features and monster movies, but we also get to watch some pretty interesting, outside-of-the-box type of films. More of a psychological drama and less of a straight horror film, Nate Taylor’s Forgetting the Girl is exactly that — an out of the [...]
