From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangmans Daughter Guest Review
The Hangman’s Daughter is a direct-to-DVD horror film from 2000 that serves as a prequel to the 1996 hit, From Dusk Till Dawn, and the lackluster 1999 sequel, From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money. It stars Michael Parks and Rebecca Gayhart with cameo appearances from Kevin Smith and none other than Danny Trejo…again.
The story opens with an outlaw escaping the noose, with the help of an American female would-be outlaw, and kidnapping the hangman’s sexy [...]

From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money Guest Review
Remember the first time you saw From Dusk Till Dawn? The first time you saw the “Titty Twister” dive bar? The unforgettable cameos from Salma Hayek and Cheech Marin?

Today…not so much.
Tons of digital effects were overused and even back during [...]

The pacing of this 1988 Tommy Lee Wallace film was a bit slow for me at points, [...]

Villanelle Team Review
After watching “Villanelle,” it is clear to me that director Rick Laprade (and his team of writers) is not only a faithful student of filmmaking, but also a highly imaginative individual. He seems to have taken great care of his work in every way, shape, and form to delivery a product that only he could have created.
While it is obvious to viewers that this film was not made with a large studio budget, that doesn’t seem to have hindered [...]
