This is Romero`s third zombie movie (Night Of The Living Dead, Dawn Of The Dead), and you can expect nothing less than perfection from the Zombie master. In this movie he tried to explain more of the Zombie nature and why are they the way they are, their actions, motivation and much more. The production [...]

Black Death is the fourth movie directed by Christopher Smith (Triangle, Severance, Creep and that`s it) and I have to admit that I loved every one. This time, with a bit more money he was able to make a movie about humanities first brush with bubonic plague. Although this is the main story, there are [...]
Directed and written by Thom Eberhardt (The Night Before, Without a Clue) this overlooked eighties flick is pretty entertaining. Althogh not scary, it is pretty good with the whole post-apocalyptic representation of the world. The unlikely survivors of this apocalypse are also another nice addition to the script, that when looked as a whole is [...]
With the imminent release of the remake, it is time to brush up on this eighties classic, I seriously doubt that the new version will be any good, yes, the cast is phenomenal, but I am having doubts that they will be able to create that relaxed mix of genres…. And they are horror, comedy [...]
It is really hard to define this movie, it uses typical ingredients for a teenage horror movie, but still it is much more than just that, mixing mystery, science fiction and even time travel. All this lumped in together produced a decent flick that is not some masterpiece but something that is worth watching. Granted, [...]
Loosely based on a H.P. Lovecraft story, this movie is yet another example of a good eighties horror movie. Cooperation between Stuart Gordon (From Beyond, Castle Freak, Stuck) and Brian Yuzna (Society, Faust: Love of the Damned) produced an interesting mix of comedy, horror, gore and some pretty outrageous scenes. When one of the main [...]
Yes, this is a B movie that you could catch any given night on TV, but this is a hell of a B movie. Riding on the eighties vibe and slowly transcending into nineties it uses the best of both decades. In a lead role we have Rutger Hauer, a classical tough, macho man, he [...]
Directed by now famous Brad Anderson this little gem has somehow managed to stay under the radar. It is not pretentious, nor glamorous but more visceral and realistic (as much as you can be with this subject), and if you like that vibe I bet that you will enjoy this movie. It is not based [...]
After seeing Julias Eyes I decided to check out the first Guillem Morales movie El Habitante Incierto, and it was an amazing experience. It is really rare to see such an original and interesting movie, especially nowadays, and I doubt that any remake could achieve the atmosphere of the original. Everything is perfectly logical or [...]
As soon as I saw that Guillermo del Toro was attached somehow to this project I knew that it is going to be good. He produced this movie and Guillem Morales (The Uncertain Guest) wrote and directed it with a very noticeable European vibe. So do not expect another Pan’s Labyrinth but something with a [...]
Although this movie is marketed as Clive Barker’s The Plague, I doubt that Clive was significantly involved. I guess he sat down one day and wrote a short story that was supposed to be developed by the director and the rest of the crew (according to producers they wrote the story themselves and the company [...]
Based on a story that was published in Playboy in 1957 (the following year it was turned into a movie The Fly starring magnificent Vincent Price), this movie is a remake of the 1958 version. With David Cronenberg as director this movie turned into something more experimental than people were expecting. This also shows the [...]
Here`s a bit older movie (well not that old…), but with a good story and nice acting. Directed by Gregory Jacobs and with some big players involved (George Clooney, Steven Soderbergh) it starts out pretty lame, but I guess that was the intention of the writer and director. It is really nice to see this [...]
After the sudden revival of the Exorcist movies in the nineties, the madness continues, producing crappier and crappier movies. I do not know why, but I have to check them out, at least those with some potential. When I saw Anthony Hopkins attached to this project I remember thinking to myself if Anthony fucks it [...]
I just noticed that that there are many movies that have something going on in the __th street, what the fuck is up with that? This time, behind this title we will find a relatively interesting, but not very complete movie. It seems that the director in its desire to make the movie mysterious went [...]
When I read that this movie is one of the Quentin Tarantino’s favorites I had to see it. And what can a man expect from Japanese film makers than this bloody mess. Set in the future, this movie provides us with some rather unorthodox decisions of the government. In this case government kidnapped an entire high [...]
Can you base your movie on one hot female lead? The answer is yes. Natasha Henstridge was 21 when she made this movie and I am glad that she did. She is so hot, and the director knew that, so we are able to see her boobs every 5 minutes. After the human kind receives [...]
Another example of great horror movies coming to us from France. This time the director makes his mixture of a classical American Texas Chainsaw/Hills Have Eyes movie. After the riots in Paris, a group of young delinquents are trying to reach border and get to Amsterdam with some stolen cash. On their way they will [...]
This is a classic eighties monster flick, and after all this time it is still very watchable, it is gaining popularity as the time passes. Directed by Stephen Herek (Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Life or Something Like It) it’s about critters, a furry monsters with a set of razor-sharp teeth and they favorite meal [...]
Although a bit older, this classic movie needs to be checked out, especially if you are a horror movie fan. You just need to see the directors and the writers name to be intrigued (George A. Romero, Stephen King). Through the Creepshow series you can see the progression of horror movies, and the first part [...]
