When a coach, teacher, parent, or peer says “…hey there, that was a really competent job.” Competent? Yeah. Competent. A really condescending term that points to the ultimate in back-handed compliments. It’s not bad, per se, but it ain’t great either. Enter The Last Exorcism. A really competent piece of filmmaking.
Just save your pennies and you might get a new TV too. But beware, there might be something living inside […]

CAN’T. BE. DONE. That film is sacrosanct! It’s untouchable. It’s pure perfection and should never be subject to the sleazy […]

Get in that way back machine. No not that one. That way, way, way back machine. Because we’re going back in time before mankind knew of color or sound.
“I’m So proud of my boys they never forget their mama.” Kinda says it all…doesn’t it. Happy Mother’s Day from […]
Shame. Guilt. Dishonor. Dereliction. Sin. Or, maybe we were just busy that weekend.

Scary movie, scary film, and SUPER-scary soundtrack! Technically this is not a post about a poster, but more about the […]
In the ultimate subject question we try to get at the idea can, does, and will go too far. Or does it?
Is is horror? Is it sci-fi? Is it horror-sci-fi? Does it have space aliens? Are those furry little space aliens scary?

Ok, I gotta get something off my chest. I saw the trailer for this beauty back in 1985 and was so horrified by its content I could have sworn that I’d seen the whole film — front to back. This was some seriously dense scar tissue built up over the years. But alas, I’d never seen this flic. That was, until a couple weeks ago.
I have no idea what’s going on with this bag of crazy…other than the fact that it’s…crazy! Check out tons […]
You love ’em. You hate ’em. You don’t know where to start. You worship at their altar. All these things are true. One of the most polemic (and satisfying) devices in the horror genre — shaky cam/found footage flics.
That’s OK…I’m not a huge fan of shish kebab.

Kids. Tweens. Teens. Neighbors. Co-workers. Scaredy cats. Squeamish about horror and don’t know where to start? Want to fully indoctrinate your kids in to the unforgiving world of horror? Need something to chat about around the workplace water-cooler — besides Stormy Daniels?
What?!?!? Was Alien the ultimate rip-off? Gestating aliens. Space travelers. Night of the Blood Beast has these things and more! […]
