Prey Review
Many years ago, a group of up-and-coming filmmakers were deemed The Splat Pack. Whether this title was official or not, the group consisted of some of the most promising directors, many of whom went on to be pretty damn successful. The likes of Rob Zombie, Eli Roth, James Wan, and Alexandre Aja, to name a few, also had their own frequent collaborators whom I also decided to follow over the years. Still making movies today, Frank Khalfoun was one of [...]

Carved: The Slit-mouthed Woman Review
Months ago, I watched a film that, after only one viewing, blew me away. I had no previous experience with the director, at least none that I could recall at the time, so I immediately did a bit of research to not only learn of his filmography, but to also find copies of any of his previous films that I could get my hands on. As is normal in most people’s lives, time flew by quickly and while I had [...]

Art of the Dead Review

Seeing all of the VHS cover art on display was what made the hobby such an exciting one. Something equally as important as [not] judging a book, or in this case a film, by its cover is [...]

Nightwish Review
After all of the years running this website, it’s hard to stay enthusiastic film after film. It’s not a tough “job,” yet still, sometimes it feels as if it’s a chore to get through some of the stuff that crosses my path. Fortunately, there will always come a new release to break me out of my slump and bring that excitement back to the forefront. This time, the movie that did the trick is Bruce R. Cook’s Nightwish.

Ghosts of Mars Review
While most diehard horror fans have their own favorite directors, most every day moviegoers won’t recognize their names. There are, however, names that have become synonymous with the genre, even for casual fans. One of those names is, of course, John Carpenter. I have managed to catch most of his flicks throughout the years, but one that has always escaped me until now is his 2001 film, Ghosts of Mars.
