Wer Review
I had to take a little bit of a hiatus because I hadn’t watched anything noteworthy lately. With a trip to my local used movie shop, I found a copy of William Brent Bell’s Wer. I remembered the trailer, so I was ridiculously excited to watch it and spread the good word. Once I got home and was sure that no one would interrupt the good time I was about to have, I let the movie roll.

I Can’t Escape Without You
Cat People Review
I’ve always loved werewolf movies, so naturally I would be attracted to any film involving these creatures in any way. While Paul Schrader’s Cat People is more concerned with cats than wolves, it is still a great entry in the ‘were’ subgenre and has more going for it than just your average tear-em-up creature flick.

It’s always great to see a new take on an old idea; Daniel Attias and Stephen King were able to take the story of [...]

Dog Soldiers Review
Back in 2006, I worked for a movie store in a shitty mall called “Suncoast Videos.” I really can’t say that I worked there because all I ever actually did was stock the shelves, deal with the occasional customer, and spend countless hours discussing films with the one co-worker who cared about horror. One Monday night while stocking the shelves with new arrivals, he let out a scream of excitement because we had gotten in 3 or 4 copies of [...]
