Let's get this out of the way. This movie? It made me giddy. It made me enjoy a night at the theater more than I have in quite awhile. And I go a lot. "Drag Me to Hell"? Loved every minute of it. ...

"True Blood" made a big splash when it hit airwaves. Author Charlaine Harris brings a heavy following from her long established book series, Anna Paquin brings in some of her own and HBO series pretty much scream quality. So, it seemed like a given. Mix in ...

Writing idols, heroes, visionaries, etc. Most writers have them, I'm no exception. For me, Dr. Hunter S. Thompson has stood at the top of my list of writers to idolize for years. I don't fancy any notions that I do in fact write as good as ...

Coming in at the tail of 70s fashion and atmosphere, "The Last Horror Film" is quite quirky in its appearance. Disco clothes and decorations lay the wacky atmosphere on thick. While it definitely feels dated, there are many aspects to the story that help connect the movie with modern ...

With much groaning and bile being spewed over the Hayden Christensen starring action flick Jumper, it was a film that was under my radar. With as much hate as the film garnered and not having much interest in the continuing work of "Mannikin Skywalker", there ...

Although Amazon and other retailers catalogue Spine Chillers as an audiobook this compilation is not really an audiobook at all. Most listeners, myself included, expect an audiobook to be a recording of someone reading a story from a book. That is not what you get with Spine Chillers. Spine Chillers consists of five short ghost stories that were... [Excerpt only. Full review available on site]

Based on the Richard Matheson novel Hell House, The Legend of Hell House is a classic haunted house story that knocks the spots off a lot of modern films. Special effects in the film are minimal but a solid story like this one has little need of technical trickery to impress the viewer.
