Midnight Meat Train, The – Quickie Review
This movie has a little bit of blood. Ok, there’s a lot of blood. Fine, there’s an excessive amount blood which makes it awesome. Underrated, under appreciated and under seen horror film based on a Clive Barker short story with the same name. Vinnie Jones chews up the screen as the killer and Bradley Cooper …
Awakening, The – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 3 / Film #2
An above average ghost story set just after WWI in England. Some decent jump scares and I wasn’t fully able to predict the ending, but I had an inkling. Strong performances, beautifully photographed and a continually unsettling atmosphere. Not too shabby.
Return Of The Living Dead – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 3 / Film #1
Corny ’80s zombie horror comedy. It’s entertaining and the gore is above average, but it’s a little hard to watch after seeing all of The Walking Dead. It is really hard to get passed the zombies’ ability to talk, converse, make logical decisions, have memories and remorse. Probably would have enjoyed it more 30 years ago.

Late Phases – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 2 / Film #5
Very intriguing werewolf flick. Great performance from the lead, he has a strong Charles Bronson quality with a very dry sense of humour. Well paced in between attacks, and it all builds to a thrilling, cleverly setup climax. Great transformation effects. Also, I literally did a fist pump when Tom Noonan appeared on screen. Love …

Willow Creek – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 2 / Film #4
Effective found footage horror film in the vein of The Blair Witch Project just replace Witch with Bigfoot. Similar to BWP, it takes a while to get going, but once it does, the tension is ever present. The suspense is effortlessly built with just the use of sound effects and speculation. Though not original, one of …

Motel Hell – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 2 / Film #3
Rory Calhoun and Beulah Balbricker play siblings and together they run a backwoods motel with a pig farm attached to it. And things are not what they seem. This movie is so fun. Not as much gore as you’d expect from the subject matter, but what it lacks in violence it’s balanced out with very …

Extraterrestrial – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 2 / Film #2
Disappointing entry in the Horror/Sci-Fi genre. I fell for the trailer. It looked pretty intense. However, if edited together properly with the right accompanying music, footage of a dude eating a cheese sandwich could look intense. I’m looking at you, David Lynch. Adequate effects for the budget and Michael Ironside is in it, but not …
