Temptation (2010)

Review by Noel Penaflor London, England… A beautiful young woman is climbing onto a bridge. Apparently her day hasn’t been going well because her inner monologue states that she should just jump, get it over with before it’s too late. Makes sense, one just doesn’t climb onto a bridge’s railing in the middle of the [...]

Someone’s Knocking at the Door (2010)

Review by Michael Varrati Early promotional material for Chad Ferrin’s Someone’s Knocking at the Door proclaimed, rather boldly, that the movie was something of a cross between the works of Dario Argento and Russ Meyer. In truth, the film doesn’t really feel reminiscent of the respective oeuvres of either of these exploitation masters, but the point of [...]

The Hairy Hands (2010)

Review by Jude Felton “The Hairy Hands of Dartmoor” is an English ghost story which tells of a pair of disembodied hands that grab the steering wheel of unsuspecting motorists that venture across a certain stretch of road in Dartmoor (that’s in the South West of England) , forcing them off the road. This short movie, [...]

After.Life (2010)

Review by Sarah “Fatally Yours” Jahier Christina Ricci naked. That seems to be the film’s only selling point, at least according to most reviews of this film. However, its actual storyline is pretty intriguing and this film has a lot more going for it that Ms. Ricci’s nudity. After being involved in a car accident, Anna (Christina Ricci), [...]

More Exclusive Stills from “Let Me In”

More stills from the upcoming remake Let Me In… Though the pics don’t seem to tell us much, I do appreciate that the filmmaker has decided to keep the same bleak, cold tone. I’m not thrilled about this remake, but as with all “reimagings” it’ll be interesting to see how the filmmaker has interpreted the source [...]

Survival of the Dead (2010)

Review by Chris Jacques **There might be a spoiler or two…not plot points or twists, necessarily, but spoilers** It’s been a few months now that I’ve been seeing previews for George Romero’s latest installment in the “Dead” saga, Survival of the Dead. Those few months hadn’t left me very interested in the film at all; unlike days [...]

Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever (2010)

Review by Sarah “Fatally Yours” Jahier It’s never a good sign when a director quits a production half-way through, which is exactly what happened with Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever. Director Ti West (The House of the Devil, The Roost) just didn’t agree with the direction the studios wanted to take the film, so he bailed [...]
