Red State is a second Kevin Smith movie that tackles the religion issue, and since Dogma was too awesome and Red State was also great, I hope that in the future he will continue to make these movies. Also, Red State took a more serious approach to the basically the same problem, and therefore it [...]

It seems that the torture and rape is all that man can think of when it comes women, and in that tradition The Woman continues with this vibe. Many will say that this movie is feminist and untrue, but I think that those accusations are false, I am sure that many men would do exactly [...]

“I am not going to rant about the lack ideas in Hollywood and the trend of recycling 80′s movies”, is what I thought when writing this review, but as you can read, it was stronger then me. First of all, Anton Yelchin is good only playing  one role: confused but smart kid, everything else is [...]

Well, if you’ve seen one Final Destination movie, you’ve seen them all, and number five is no exception. The special effects are on a pretty good level, they are quite brutal and graphic and I liked that very much, so be sure that this is not some straight-to-DVD bullshit movie. The acting is average with [...]

Directed by David Cronenberg (A History of Violence, The Fly, Naked Lunch) Scanners launched his career and got him out of the low-budget movie section and into an experimental horror department (but with a budget). This movie will also be remembered as a start the career of Michael Ironside, a lovable bad guy with an [...]

Coming to us from the guy who wrote The Hitcher and Near Dark, 100 Feet is a movie with a slightly misleading title. I expected (as you can notice I expect a lot in my reviews, and almost always I’m wrong) everything else from a serial killer who chops off his victims feet to foot [...]

Right from the start you can sense and see that this is not an American or English flick, the Italians have peculiar vision of horror and beauty, and when you add to that eccentric directors and complete artistic freedom you get works of art and not movies. Although all this can turn into something rather [...]

Getting mediocre reviews all around, Husk seems to be another straight to video flick looking for a quick buck on the same premise as so many before him. It uses the setting of a corn field and an old house, and those two are guaranteed to look scary, especially at night. Of course, how we [...]

Banking on the obscure subject and sort of an X-Files vibe, Shelter tries to create that weird psychological-thriller atmosphere with a large religious influence. And when I say religious I mean it in a ritualistic, almost voodoo pagan sense, with a dogmatic christian thing of being a believer or not as a counterpart. The choice [...]

Taking a bit different take with horror movies Tucker And Dale Vs Evil takes the classical premise of murderous hillbillies and spins it around. This could not have been done without great actors in lead roles and although I never liked Tyler Labine, but I must admit that he was really great. Of course, Alan [...]

While we are talking about rare and original movies, Love Object comes to mind. Again this is a mixture of several genres, that are blended perfectly although seemingly comedy and horror do not go well with psychological thrillers. Examining alienation, sexual frustration and modern society Robert Parigi created something that seems like an alternate universe, [...]

After the first three Screams here comes the fourth installment in the franchise. The previous sentence sounded like something you would read in some fancy magazine, that sucks. Moving on, after exploiting every possible variations of who-done-it script apparently there was nothing else to do then to make fun of the whole concept. And as [...]

Ten years after his last movie (Ghosts of Mars) Mr. John Carpenter returns with just a puff instead of a big bang. But, I guess this is my fault from expecting more from one of my favourite directors.  I have a feeling that Carpenter will have trouble finding his place in modern cinema. Maybe this [...]

Loosely based on the original Mother’s Day (this was a Troma flick which makes the quality of the remake almost comprehensible) from 1980 this updated version took the premise to a much higher level and created a very intense and suspenseful movie. Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II, III, IV) and set in a [...]

Here is another eighties horror movie, and if you have seen the rest of them (Critters, The Blob, Fright Night…) you exactly know what to expect, a cheesy entertainment perfect for relaxing. I guess that is the part of appeal of these flicks, there will be scary and funny scenes with mandatory nudity present (there [...]

You know that mixture of horror and comedy that worked so well in the eighties, well here is proof that you can still do the same thing after ten years… Featuring very interesting cast, with some really awesome actors like Brendan Gleeson, Oliver Platt and Betty White that carried the movie till the end. Creature [...]

I have to admit that this movie was a frightening experience for me. I don`t know why it was so scary, but during the entire movie I was on the edge of my seat (I mean bed). Many say that it is a mixture of more popular movies like Poltergeist, Paranormal Activity, The Exorcist and [...]

Stake Land, huh, this mixture of The Road, Zombieland and other post-apocalyptic movies is pretty watchable. And don`t be fooled by the adrenaline filled bloodbath at the beginning of the movie, it is pretty slow, but for fans of post-apocalyptic settings (they thrown in vampires and zombies to cover those fans also) it is a [...]

First of all, I did read this comic when I was a kid, not a lot but still enough to remember the main characters and the story. Now, this movie tried to do an almost impossible task of making a good comic adaptation on a limited budget, hence the changes in setting and characters. And [...]

Based on the original movie from 1958, this eighties remake is great. Actually there is a new The Blob project, and Rob Zombie was slated to direct this new version, but he backed out (I think that it would suck). The budget was pretty big, considering the genre, and the year so the special effects [...]
