Things to Watch on Netflix Instant: Bad Milo

Maybe I’m just way too immature for my own good, but if you’re asking me, it’s kinda hard not to love any movie that takes you on a tour into a man’s mouth, through his digestive tract and out of his butt hole, within the first 60 seconds of run-time. Yep. That’s Bad Milo for

Enter Pinbacker: Taking a Look at the Horror Within Danny Boyle’s Sunshine

Sunshine is a fascinating film, it divides critics and casual viewers alike. The general consensus seems to be that it’s high quality but the sudden swerve the entire movie takes half way through has generated huge debate and that is what I am keen to ultimately give my opinion on here. When you strip away

Dog Days: Revisiting Zoltan, Hound of Dracula! 1978

The first time I watched Zoltan, Hound Of Dracula (also known as ‘Dracula’s Dog’) I was about 9 years old. It was a very hot Summers day, roughly 3pm in the afternoon and I was curled up on the sofa with a bad cold. My Dad got me a LARGE Strawberry Sundae from the ice

The Plague Dogs 1982: Childhood Terror and Animated Perfection

The Plague Dogs disturbed and horrified me as a child, more than any other film I had seen up to that point … animated OR live action. If you go into it with no prior knowledge of the film (or the original book by Richard Adams it is based on) then you are in for

Bloody Birthday!!!

I collect VHS tapes. As long as it’s horror, or occasionally action. Or Sci-Fi. Or exploitation comedy. Ok, so I collect any VHS. If you ask my wife, she will tell you I have too many. But any horror fan will tell you that VHS is how we fell in love with the genre. It

Death Machine 1994: Dourif and His Dog!

Ever seen or even heard of ‘Death Machine‘? … Nope, neither had I until about 7 days ago. Now, I’m far from obsessive when it comes to watching movies, I’ve seen many in my lifetime but I also enjoy reading about them. Articles, reviews even brief comments on forums, so when something comes along that

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
