Searching For Sugar Man – Quickie Review
The true story of recording artist, Sixto Rodriguez. A man haled by many as the voice of his generation. He never made a dent stateside and for that he lived in poverty all the while he was tremendously popular and successful in various countries overseas. Extremely powerful and moving movie of discovery. His music is …
Grabbers – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 23 / Film #3
A small island of the coast of Ireland has been invaded by aliens, the only way to survive: to be obliteratingly drunk. Very fun and very funny horror-comedy definitely in the vein of Tremors. The creatures themselves come in various sizes. At its largest state, it is probably best described as a giant centi-pus. Plenty …

Byzantium – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 20 / Film #2
A mysterious mother and daughter take refuge in a rundown hotel while trying to escape their lengthy past. A quietly romantic and occasionally violent vampire tale. Neil Jordan has directed a wonderful companion piece for his other time chronicling vampire film, Interview With The Vampire. Multi-layered script told in narrative and flashbacks. Beautifully photographed.
Rufus – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 19 / Film #3
A quiet Canadian vampire drama about a teenage transient looking for a new start in a small town all the while he’s being followed by someone from his past. Not your average vampire flick. It’s more about the story than the killings. It’s more about character than carnage. And Kim Coates is in it, so …

No One Lives – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 19 / Film #1
A ruthless gang kidnaps a travelling couple and the gang soon finds out that they made a grave mistake. From the director Midnight Meat Train comes another gorefest that earns its R rating. Mean, brutal, gruesome and darkly comic. If this movie came out 40 years ago, it would now be deemed a grindhouse classic. This …

Would You Rather – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 7 / Film #2
People hard on their luck are invited to a dinner party which turns out to be a deadly competition of Would You Rather.

Dead Shadows – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 5 / Film #5
Gleefully violent and tremendously bizarre French Sci-Fi/Horror about a doomsday comet approaching earth resulting in human aggression followed by mutation. Movie doesn’t start moving until the halfway point when there is a 100% certified, call to your friends, WTF moment and then shit gets real. A Scream Factory release so it has automatic street cred.
American Mary – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 1 / Film #2
A cash-strapped med student delves into the world of body modification surgery to help her make ends meet. You know, that old story. This movie is pretty f’d up which translates to “me likey”. Plenty of gore and weirdness to satisfy most horror freaks. There’s a part where the lead encounters a security guard, let’s …
