There is Danger Here
Shock Waves Review
With film series like Dead Snow and Outpost, I was sure that the Nazi zombie sub-genre was a fairly new one in the horror world. It seems I was mistaken as Ken Wiederhorn, John Kent Harrison, and Ken Pare told the story of undead SS super soldiers way before any of these films existed with their 1977 flick, Shock Waves.

My Hair is Warm?
Life After Beth Review
I was an instant fan of Dane DeHaan’s after my first viewing of the found footage film, Chronicle. His ability to deliver a serious and dramatic performance was uncanny to me. I’ve also always been a huge fan of the hilarious John C. Reilly. When I saw that they were going to be in a film together, there was no question that I was going to sit down and watch it, as soon as I could. That film is [...]
Too Much Dangerous
The Dead 2 Review
For the longest time, I read about how great the film, The Dead, was. I finally caved, a couple of months back, and decided to give it a watch. I was deeply saddened by my experience because I was extremely bored and never got to any point in the film where I felt it reached its hype. In fact, I disliked it so much, that I just turned it off half way through. I decided to give the Ford [...]
Mommy Doesn’t Wanna Play
Blood Soaked Review
I’ve sat through at least 90% of Wild Eye Releasing’s horror-related catalog, at this point. It is a great home to indie flicks like The Disco Exorcist, Exhumed, and Murder University, but for a lot of the films they distribute, it’s almost painful to sit through in one sitting. I’ve enjoyed a select few, but for the most part, I really dislike a lot of their movies. I still remain loyal to the label, though, and any [...]
We’re Not Gonna Hurt You
Remission Review
I know I preach an awful lot about indie films and how important it is to pay attention to them. With so many directors churning out amazing work, I feel the need to spread the word as best as I can because if I don’t, you just might miss out on something amazing.
Tyler Schmid, Joshua Weixelman, and Lisa Kovanda are a trio that needs your attention… right now. Their new film, Remission, is incredibly well-made, intense, and frightening. [...]
I Don’t Remember Who I Am
Open Grave Review
The fact that filmmakers can still come up with original screenplays about zombies is beyond impressive. The zombie sub-genre has been increasing in popularity over the past decade or so and it doesn’t seem like the trend is going to stop anytime soon. There are plenty of low-budget zombie flicks being churned out month after month, but it is the films that manage to stand out above the rest that will be remembered. Gonzalo López-Gallego’s Open Grave is one of [...]
