How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Wes Craven’s New Nightmare

When it comes to horror fans, you’re either a Freddy guy or you’re a Jason guy, and I’ve always been more of a Freddy guy. My love affair with Freddy began in my early formative years, and I have many fond memories of renting, watching, returning and then quickly re-renting and re-watching A Nightmare on

Catching Up on 2013: Stoker

You know how there are certain actors you’re such a big fan of that you feel like you could watch them read the phone book, and you’d still be incredibly interested and entertained? If you’re asking me, the same applies for filmmakers, and Park Chan-wook (or Chan-wook Park, if you prefer) is one of those

Plus One: Can’t Hardly Wait Meets The Twilight Zone

Ya know what I love more than anything? When new movies hit Netflix Instant the same day that they’re released on home video. Such is the case with Plus One (aka +1), the latest film from Dennis Iliadis, the director of 2009’s Last House on the Left remake – which is, in my opinion, one

HBO’s True Detective: A Show You Need to Be Watching

This past Saturday, I found a large package waiting for me in my PO box. Inside of the cardboard box was another box; a white banker’s box, sealed shut with orange tape that read ‘Evidence: Do Not Open.’ Of course, I disobeyed the order, and cautiously peeled away the tape, admittedly a tad bit frightened

Review of Among the Sleep Alpha

A few months back, I’d heard of an interesting horror game called Among the Sleep, and only recently found it once more when they released a behind the scenes video of their environment testing. Intrigued and excited, I decided to look more into it. The game stars a two year old child who wakes up

Catching Up on 2013: We Are What We Are

My quest to catch up on as many 2013 horror films that I missed as possible before January comes to an end continued with tonight’s viewing of We Are What We Are, which hit On Demand outlets late last year and was just released onto home video here in the states this week. A remake

Catching Up on 2013: Black Rock

One of the ironic things about writing about horror movies for a living is that I spend so much time writing about them that I oftentimes find myself with little time to actually sit down and watch them – go figure! It is for this reason that I almost always begin every new year with

JAWS

This article is a long, long, long time coming now. JAWS (1975) is one of my all-time favorite films, but more so, has left a deep psychological mark on me. I first saw JAWS at a very young age and it almost immediately drove a fascination and fear of sharks into me that would last

The Last of Us Review

For a long while now, the line between cinema and video games has been blurred. I can tell you, after just finishing The Last of Us, the line no longer exists. I’m a fairly avid video gamer and video game stories have been getting better and better, but this is the first time a video

Lords of Salem Review

I’ve enjoyed most of Rob Zombie‘s films and even liked Halloween II at times though I can’t say I liked that particular film overall. I have been looking forward to The Lords of Salem with an uncontrollable excitement, especially since the movie has been completed and on shelves for some time now, delayed, for whatever
