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, [...]

The Horseman (2008)

Review by Jude Felton Another day, another revenge flick. Don’t read that as a negative statement though, as for one I am a big fan of the genre and secondly I have been waiting for The Horseman to get its North American release for a few months now. As is usually the case the previews promised [...]

Squirm (1976)

Review by Sarah “Fatally Yours” Jahier Killer worms…yup, you read that right. That is pretty much the premise of Squirm, a B-movie from writer/director Jeff Lieberman (Just Before Dawn, Satan’s Little Helper, Blue Sunshine). While this is no doubt one of Lieberman’s worst horror films, it still holds a certain campy charm and should be viewed [...]

Home Movie (2008)

Review by Sarah “Fatally Yours” Jahier Home video cameras offer families a chance to capture precious moments, whether it’s in the backyard, on vacations, during holidays or just everyday life. Home videos are usually meant to capture the best of times, but sometimes they can also capture the worst. Usually this footage ends up on America’s [...]

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), [...]

Hell Week (2009)

Review by Jason “Fiend of Grue” Schneeberger Hell Week is a week in which a fraternity puts potential new frat brothers and sorority sisters through a series of tests to prove their worthiness to be in that fraternity. This particular fraternity is ran by JJ (Rob Jaeger), a blond jerk whose chief concern is getting laid [...]

Case 39 (2009)

Review by Noel Penaflor Being a parent is tough. Sometimes you just want to lock your little girl up in her bedroom while she’s sleeping and if the opportunity presents itself maybe you’ll try to murder her. The Sullivans have such a problem. Working for Child Protective Services is tough. Day in, day out, one sees the [...]

Hellgate (1989)

Review by Sarah “Fatally Yours” Jahier Hellgate has got to be one of the worst, all-over-the-place horror films I’ve ever seen! From the weird gags to groan-worthy jokes to the silly ghost/zombie/ghost town/magical crystals/revenge storylines that crisscross the mess of the movie, I was shaking my head is disbelief most of its running time. However, though [...]

The Legacy (1979)

Review by Sarah “Fatally Yours” Jahier Always a sucker for ‘70s thrillers set in old mansions with an occult/satanic twist, I decided to check out The Legacy, a 1979 flick starring Sam Elliott and Katharine Ross. While it focused less on the occult than I expected and was set up more of like a murder mystery [...]

Featuring 10 female directed and/or produced horror films ranging from Confederate zombies to blind dates gone bad to lesbian vampire Barbies, this selection of films has something for [...]

Every Other Day Is Halloween (2010)

Review by Sarah “Fatally Yours” Jahier In C.W. Prather’s documentary Every Other Day is Halloween, viewers are taken on a nostalgic and whimsical trip back in time to the golden age of television horror hosts, a time when local TV’s witching hour was ruled by ghouls and boils introducing old black and white movies for a [...]

Silent Scream (1980)

Review by Sarah “Fatally Yours” Jahier From the golden age of slashers, the awesome 80s, comes Silent Scream, an intriguing film that features a stark raving mad Barbara Steele! I don’t know about you, but I’ve loved Barbara Steele ever since I saw her in Mario Bava’s black and white masterpiece Black Sunday (review), so she [...]

Nympha (2007)

Review by Theron Neel Over the years, in my unofficial quest to see every film in the Tiffany Shepis oeuvre, I’ve followed La Shepis many places and she’s shown me many things. But never has she shown me anything quite like Nympha, her 2007 flick with filmmaker Ivan Zuccon. But, to be fair, nobody has ever [...]
