Hot Fuzz – Quickie Review

A hot shot, big city cop is sent to a sleepy countryside town because the higher-ups are tired of him showing up the other policemen. This is an ultra funny, ultra violent action thriller send-up. So many smart references to other films, great one-liners, sight gags and the tremendously talented cast from top to bottom. …

Rogue – Quickie Review

A travel journalist partakes in a crocodile-watching boat tour while on assignment in Australia and he gets more than he bargained for. We’ve seen this before; it’s just Jaws with a giant, aggressive crocodile. However, we haven’t seen one from the director of Wolf Creek. Much better than your average killer aquatic creature feature. Strong …

Halloween (2007) – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 31 / Film #2

Each Halloween movie can be described with two “S” words. Carpenter’s: Suspenseful & Subtle. Zombie’s: Savage & So fucking violent.

Sublime – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 29 / Film #6

A man goes in for a colonoscopy and due to clerical error he receives the incorrect procedure. During recovery he’s on heavy meds so most of the time he doesn’t know what’s real and what’s not. This is a very twisted film with some cringe-inducing gore. The movie has a very strong Jacob’s Ladder type …

Attack Girls’ Swim Team Versus The Undead – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 21 / Film #4

I’m not sure what just happened. This movie is beyond explanation. Think of something with the ability of being gratuitous, and this movie checks the box for everything. This movie is so insanely gory and just insane. And this is coming from a guy who has seen Zombie Ass. I may need to do a …

[REC] – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 20 / Film #1

Thoroughly intense, incredibly claustrophobic Spanish thriller about a TV crew that shadows some firemen on a late night distress call at an apartment building which turns into a place of quarantine. Many effective jump scares and satisfying gore. I’m glad I finally got around to watching this one.
