What if I Can End This?
The Sky Has Fallen Review
I like to think of myself as a connoisseur of horror. I’ve seen it all and I’m always on the look out for indie directors who make me feel the same thing I did when I watched The Evil Dead for the first time. It’s been a few months since Doug Roos film The Sky Has Fallen came into my possession. For some reason, I put this film on the back burner and nearly forgot about it. After an email [...]
And That’s Your Penis
Skinless Review
Anyone who has been following Roger and I over the past year is fully aware of the fact that it takes quite a bit to impress me, when it comes to independent horror cinema. More often than not, I am left disappointed, wondering why I’ve wasted my time with yet another low-budget piece of crap. Lately, however, I’ve had some luck finding some real diamonds in the rough, including films by the likes of Ryan Nicholson (Collar), Lisa [...]

Axed Review
Thousands of people lose their jobs and get laid off every year. Some are able to bounce back rather quickly and start anew, while others have a more difficult time adapting to the sudden change. Ryan Lee Driscoll’s horror thriller, Axed, is the story of a man who goes through such a change.

One Big Mistake
Collar Review
In the horror movie collecting scene, it isn’t the mainstream Hollywood flicks that are filling people’s shelves. Young up-and-coming filmmakers like Dustin Mills and Ryan Nicholson are running the show with their over-the-top gory creations. A perfect example of a widely talked about indie flick from this year is Nicholson’s Collar.
The synopsis of the film is quite simple — A satanic derelict is snatching people up and torturing and maiming every last one of them. While Ryan Nicholson’s [...]
I Wish it Was a Crazy Guy
Don't Blink Review
I love seeing movies that make me feel like I’m watching an episode of The Twilight Zone. Recently, a few movies that I have had the privilege of watching have given me that Rod Serling vibe. One of which was Travis Oates’ Don’t Blink. This movie is all sorts of awesome!
I was sucked right in from the beginning, every character is likeable and perfectly portrayed. From Brian Austin Green’s rational approach to Zach Ward’s edgy performance (which [...]
Aww, I Didn’t Get to F*ck Her
House of the Witchdoctor Review
I heard about Devon Mikolas’ film House of the Witchdoctor last year, while attending Crypticon in Kansas City, spotting promotional material for it, meeting Allan Kayser and Bill Moseley, and becoming great friends with one of the film’s executive producers, Chazz Demoss. A full year had passed and I still had not seen the film. Crypticon came again, I got to meet another star of the film, Leslie Easterbrook, and chat it up with Chazz and Allan one more time. [...]
