Where the Heck’s My Grubhub?
Countdown Review
I can’t tell you how many times I have sat in a theater, viewing trailer after trailer, shouting out, “oh, that is gonna be good!” Sometimes I am right, but sometimes I am totally and utterly wrong. On the other hand, there are times when I completely dismiss a film based on a preview that looks downright awful, only to be surprised by the actual full-length film. That is exactly what happened with Justin Dec’s Countdown.

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.

Carved: The Slit-mouthed Woman Review

Fortunately for me, my reviews do manage to reach some filmmakers, making it a real treat when I am approached [...]
I Love Birthdays
Bed of the Dead Review
We all grew up hearing the saying “don’t judge a book by its cover.” Being someone who grew up with a video rental store down the street from me, I made it a habit to do just that, whenever perusing the horror aisle. 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.
