Movie Review: Mine Games

Today was supposed to mark the DVD release of a new horror film called The Evil Within, which was originally titled Mine Games. Over the weekend, however, Phase 4 Films announced that they’ve not only pushed back the release but also reverted the film back to its original title, with the newly retitled (… with

Movie Review: Grand Piano

I’ve always been a fan of movies that primarily take place in one location and revolve around a simple premise, as it’s fun to see what clever filmmakers are able to do with their hands tied behind their backs, so to speak. 2010’s Buried immediately comes to mind, which takes place completely underground, with Ryan

‘Catfish’ is the Best Found Footage Horror Movie Ever Made. Period.

…which is pretty impressive, considering it’s technically neither a found footage movie nor a horror movie! I’ll never forget the first time I watched Catfish, which was shown to me a few years back by my friend Kristy. I knew very little about the film, and she smartly held back on offering up any information,

Disposed Of: A Highly Unconventional Horror Story by Andrew Bonazelli

Last week, a friend of mine brought to my attention a recently released book called Disposed Of, which immediately caught my attention and compelled me to buy it. Not because of the premise of the story, mind you – which I honestly didn’t even read before I clicked the ‘Order’ button – but rather because

Waxwork

UPDATE — Big news, that will also help answer some questions I posed in this article, a proper Blu-ray of Waxwork is being released. Waxwork, I want to say is my most favorite horror film of all-time, but that’s a tough slot, so I’ll default to saying it’s definitely in my top 10, which is

Rosemary’s Baby (TV Movie)

Not bad, not good, just pointless. Rosemary’s Baby (2014), to the shock of no one I’m sure, comes no where near the atmosphere, melancholy, and greatness of the original classic. I don’t even have a default position of prejudging remakes, I enjoy plenty of remakes. I also have no complaints about this particular remake, other

Mother’s Day: A Remake That’s Just Begging for More Attention

Exactly two years ago, on this very date, Darren Lynn Bousman’s remake of the 1980 Troma film Mother’s Day was released on home video. And over the course of those past two years, I’ve heard very little discussion about the film, within the horror community. It’s never celebrated as being one of the best remakes

Taking a Trip: Beyond the Black Rainbow 2010

I must have had hundreds of conversations over the years about movies and stuff related to movies and one thing I notice a lot is that many people I’ve met ‘Need’ something specific from their movie watching experiences. Some need films to entertain them, in the same way a trip to the circus would, some

The River — Good, Stupid Fun

The River television series, which is yet another shaky, found-footage venture from the Paranormal Activity guys, was surprisingly fun. I would chalk this up to being a guilty pleasure because the writing and dialogue were painfully stupid. From characters that don’t understand a word of Spanish, to being able to speak it fluently after a
