Darkman Review
It never ceases to amaze me how many great films have slipped right under my radar. Especially films made by some of my favorite directors. Thanks to the ever-growing library of films distributed by Shout! Factory, I finally get a chance to not only see some of those films, but to also see them in their best presentations to date. Darkman is one of the most overall entertaining films I’ve seen in a good while. It has something for everyone to enjoy — action scenes packed to the brim with explosions, an outstanding script, and superb acting performances delivered by … Read More

As soon as the word ‘remake’ is uttered, horror fans immediately get their angry faces on and start to protest.

The only connections between “Army of Darkness” and the first two “Evil Dead” … Read More
I’m Just Crazy About This Store
Intruder Guest Review
Though it had great potential, being the same creators as the Evil Dead series, Intruder (1989) just fell flat. Written and Directed by Scott Spiegel, the storyline is original because not many horror movies take place in supermarkets. However, the dialogue is so cheesy that it cannot be taken seriously and the acting is poor. The only actor that really sold his role is the killer, played by Dan Hicks. His facial expressions, mannerisms, and tone of voice are right on point and really show how psychotic that character is. The fight scenes in the beginning of the movie are … Read More
