You Discovered Santa’s Sleigh!

Icetastrophe Review

Icetastrophe

I usually steer clear of the natural disaster horror films that make their way to the Syfy channel, but after the blast I had with last year’s Sharknado 2, I’ve changed my tune a bit. These made-for-TV films are actually upping their game a little bit and Jonathan Winfrey’s Icetastrophe proves itself as another worthy entry into the sub-genre.

It’s Christmas time and the small town of Lennox has gathered to celebrate the holiday and the changes coming in [...]

I Have Something For You

Christmas Evil Review

Christmas Evil

One of my recent reviews was of the anthology film, Tales From the Crypt, which featured a segment dealing with a psychotic killer on the loose in a Santa Clause outfit. What better way to continue that trend as we get closer to Christmas day than to review another killer Santa film. This time around, it is Lewis Jackson’s 1980 flick, Christmas Evil.

Harry has always loved Christmas. He even works at a toy factory in order to [...]

Silent Night, Deadly Night: 30th Anniversary Edition Review

Silent Night, Deadly Night

By now, you all know about the love I have for slasher films. To me, one of the funnest parts of the sub-genre is that there’s a title for every and any holiday you can think of.

Of all of the Christmas-themed horror flicks out there, Charles E. Sellier’s Silent [...]

You Smell Worse Than Me

A Cadaver Christmas Review

A Cadaver Christmas

Joe Zerull’s A Cadaver Christmas is a ridiculously fun grindhouse style horror/comedy film. Everything that horror fans love is present and executed very well for a lower-budget splatter flick.

Writers Daniel Rairdin-Hale and Hanlon Smith-Dorsey’s script is fresh, fun, and it seems much of the humor was improvised on the spot. Both pull double duty as writers and actors in Christmas and bring characters jumping to life with each scene. Fans of Planet Terror will undoubtedly be fans of this [...]

I’m Gonna Kill Him

And All Through the House Review

Ron McLellen’s film “And All Through The House” was winner of the 2011 Atlanta Horrorfest for best local feature film for good reason. I’ve seen tons of horror anthologies ranging from absolute shit to pure gold and “And All Through The House” is the indie scene’s Christmas answer to “Trick r’ Treat.”

The 3 stories are all entwined so well together and executed with great editing. It has many little nods to some great films and you can tell that [...]
