That’s My Kinda Nasty
Lycan Review
With Halloween right around the corner, I am trying my damnedest to get back into the role of ‘horror film critic.’ While last week I reviewed a recent Hollywood production (see The Mummy), I decided to visit the other side of the spectrum with a low-budget indie flick this week. Was Bev Land’s Lycan worth both my time and yours? Read on to find out… A group of students are given an assignment to work together and rediscover a moment in history. After the wise-cracking Kenny (Parker Croft, TV’s “Once Upon a Time”) suggests the group head into the woods … Read More

Howl is not only original, but it is exactly the film that the Wolfman sub-genre needed! After receiving the bad news that he’s been declined the position … Read More
You Little Freak!
Cub Review
More often than not, I set myself up to be disappointed that the final product doesn’t mirror the hype that was created for it. However, it was nearly a year ago when I saw the trailer for Jonas Govaerts’ film, Cub. I can recall exactly how I felt; My jaw hit the floor as flashes of grisly violence were intermingled with a haunting camp song. I remember telling myself, “This looks so damn good!” Trying to remind myself that it was a trailer and the possibility of it being as good as it looked were slim, but damn if it … Read More
