The Flesh Eaters (1964)

Review by Theron Neel Like any self-respecting monster kid, I spent my formative years planted in front of the television set, watching whatever horror and sci-fi swill Hollywood had to offer a young mind. Time wasted? Perhaps. But I prefer to think of those many hours spent viewing B movies as a kind of alternative education. [...]

Tormented (2010)

Review by The Fiend of Grue The film begins by showing a young woman named Fay sitting alone in a park when suddenly a large imposing man appears beside her. Making her nervous, she gets up to walk away, peering over her shoulder when suddenly the man comes after her and a chase ensues down a [...]

Tortured (aka Sex Slave) (2008)

Review by The Fiend of Grue Tortured (aka Sex Slave) is a film from UK filmmaker Jason Impey who wrote, produced, edited and directed this short film. The movie begins by showing two men arguing over the spot they have chosen to bury the body of a woman they have killed. Soon, the arguing turns to [...]

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 [...]

Ghoulies (1985)

Review by Theron Neel One of the best things about having an open mind is the chance it provides for redemption and rediscovery. Take Ghoulies, for instance. I saw this flick on its release back in 1985 and immediately wrote it off as a lesser Gremlins, as did many others. Then I promptly forgot about it. [...]

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 [...]

Triangle (2009)

Review by Sarah “Fatally Yours” Jahier Triangle is a surprising straight-to-DVD flick…when I first watched it I hadn’t heard anything about it, so I wasn’t expecting too much out of it. However, it’s a great little flick that offers plenty of twists and turns that will keep your mind reeling! I’m not even sure how to describe [...]

After Dark Horrorfest 4 – All 8 Films to Die For Reviewed (2010)

Written by Sarah “Fatally Yours” Jahier I finally got around to checking out all of After Dark Horrorfest’s “8 Films to Die For” since they were only in theaters for two seconds! I don’t feel like writing a lengthy review for each film, so I’m going to do a quickie review of each and list them from [...]

The Commune (2009)

Review by Sarah “Fatally Yours” Jahier I really wanted to love this movie, fiends, I really did!! First off, it’s written, directed, produced, etc. by firecracker filmmaker Lis Fies. I just love her spunk and attitude, especially when we interviewed her for Women in Horror Month! Secondly, it sounded like it was going to be an [...]

TV Review: Happy Town – “In This Home on Ice”

Review by Sarah “Fatally Yours” Jahier Last year network TV gave horror fans the thrilling and entertaining Harper’s Island (which I was shamelessly hooked on and still highly recommend checking out) and ever since then I’ve been keen to see if other networks would jump on this trend to make their own chilling horror-themed mini-series. Well, [...]

Hillbilly Bob Zombie (2009)

Review by the Fiend of Grue Zombie movies these days are a dime a dozen, almost every week you can count on there being at least one new zombie movie being released . Whether its a big budget hit like Zombieland or an independent film on a shoe string budget like the one I’m gonna review [...]

The Descent Part 2 (2010)

Review by Noel Penaflor Fears that The Descent sequel will suck may be allayed, as it is not a US Marshals to the original’s Fugitive. I, like many of you, entered this movie with more trepidation than I would most sequels, expecting them to be strife with unpleasantness and only tarnishing its predecessor. [...]

Horror of Our Love: A Short Film (2010)

Review by Sarah “Fatally Yours” Jahier What if Michael, Jason or Freddy tried to get a date with one of their intended victims? What kind of hijinks and shenanigans would they get themselves into while trying to woo a girl? Not to mention, how would the girl react? Well, director Dave Reda (director of the fantastic Bit [...]

Blood Beach (1981)

Review by Michael Varrati Following the financial wake left by Jaws in the filmic harbor, the rise in aquatic and beach oriented fright flicks seemed not only extremely timely but also corporately inevitable. Movies like Piranha and its sequel, by their own admission, riffed on Spielberg’s blockbuster, whereas flicks such as Orca: The Killer Whale maintained a [...]

Forbidden Planet (1956)

Review by Theron Neel So, how great is this movie? Forbidden Planet, made in 1956 and directed by Fred M. Wilcox, is still one of the best sci-fi flicks around. But why is it so great? Maybe it’s the wonderful futuristic set design or the little micro-mini skirt that the forward-thinking, hotsie-totsie Anne Francis runs around [...]
