I know I have nothing to apologize for, but I will start this review off with an apology because I know how much some people revere this movie. I’m sorry, but this film underwhelmed me. Sure it was moody, but it’s so dull. It doesn’t fall to Ghost Of Mars depths, but this is low …
Fog, The (1980) – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 21 / Film #1 Read More »
Underwhelming Italian horror. Creepy killer, creepy locale, decent gore, but it’s incredibly dull with a score that occasionally sounds like two cats fighting on a keyboard. The jump scares are mostly telegraphed or poorly choreographed. There’s some f’d up stuff along the way such as the killer eating his own intestines, but nothing really to sustain one’s …

Controversial, once and still banned Italian horror film about a hidden tribe of cannibals and a documentary crew filming the encounter. Shockingly graphic violence at the time, and it perhaps is still perceived that way today. However, after years of being desensitized, I wasn’t bothered by the violence as much as I should have been. …
Low budget horror/sci-fi film starring future Oscar winners Jack Palance and Martin Landau as well as the very young, ginger-haired David Caruso. Predates Predator by 7 years in the Aliens Hunting Humans For Sport On Earth genre. The effects range from cheesy to graphic; the dialogue ranges from cheesy to extreme cheese. Palance and Landau …
Near perfect, proudly Canadian, haunted house movie that was partly filmed less than 5 minutes away from the house in which I grew up. The movie is 35 years old and I saw it for the first time less than 10 years ago. It is the last movie to legitimately scare me. There’s a real …
