Daddy's Little Girl Review
I remember hearing a lot of rumblings about Daddy’s Little Girl upon its original release, years back. At the time, I was extremely interested in seeing the film, but for whatever reason, never got around to actually acquiring a copy. After my recent viewing of Charlie’s Farm and learning that both films shared the same producer, writer, and director, Chris Sun, I knew now was the right time to finally get my hands on the 2014 release.

I’m Very Happy for You
The Gift Review
There are some pretty diehard horror fans out there that completely refuse to watch any genre film that receives a wide release in theaters. These films are considered too ‘mainstream’ perhaps and these loyal fans automatically think the film will be some watered-down version of what could have been. I, on the other hand, like to give every film a fighting chance, especially when they look as intriguing as Joel Edgerton’s The Gift.

I Want Those Men to Suffer
Julia Review
There are tons of sub-genres that make up horror as a whole. Some make sense — creature feature, supernatural, slasher — while some are a little more out there — torture [porn], body horror. I think the rape/revenge flicks that seem to be popping up everywhere nowadays fall somewhere in the middle of the spectrum. I used to think that if you saw one of these movies, you’ve seen them all… until I watched Matthew A. Brown’s newest project, Julia [...]
It’s Just His Type
Final Girl Review
It is almost impossible to make something that will stand out in a horror fan’s mind among the sea of films out in the wild. We have seen it all and quite frankly, nothing seems original anymore. That is why when a film that delivers something fresh and exciting finally comes around, it is something to cherish and to share with every other fan that you know. That is what I want to do with Tyler Shields’ Final Girl. [...]

I Spit on Your Grave III: Vengeance is Mine Review
Whenever someone asks to me rattle off a list of my favorite horror films, it’s a rather difficult task. I can’t really pinpoint a ‘Top Five’ or even ‘Top 10’ films that I can say are better than any other five, 10, or even 100. Sure, there are films that I absolutely love, films that I can watch over and over again without losing interest in one bit. One of those films is Rob Zombie’s masterpiece, The Devil’s Rejects. [...]
I Know Where the Door Is
Extremities Review
At the risk of sounding like a real pervert, I must admit that I am a big fan of rape/revenge films. I’ve seen a bunch of them, from the classic I Spit on Your Grave to made-for-TV flicks like Big Driver. Some of them are more brutal than others, but I always enjoy seeing the carnage that unfolds as the victims take vengeance on the deserving predators. One film from the revenge sub-genre that I never even knew existed, [...]
