I am a big Larry Cohen fan so there is always a little bias and I’ll except things easier in his films than others. If you’re not a fan of Cohen, get out! Or maybe you just don’t realize you’re fan because you unfamiliar with his cult-laden filmography (The It’s Alive trilogy, The Stuff, Maniac …

If there was ever a movie that could benefit from a remake, it’s this one. That being said, this film is still campy fun. The story and concept is very intriguing, but in better hands and a more capable lead, it could really excel. Some of the dialogue is very wooden with a performance from …
I first saw this movie at a midnight screening, opening day. Initially, I thought it was pretty awesome. It effects blew me away, but upon further viewings the effects fade and you start the hear the terrible dialogue. My least favourite character, Dusty. Because of this role, it took me a long time to come …
Outside of Hannibal Rising, this is easily the weakest entry in the Hannibal Lecter film lore. And nowhere nearly as good as the TV series that shares its name. However, Hopkins is as chilling as ever. A handful of graphic scenes and makeup help raise it up a bit, but all in all, the suspense isn’t there and …
A trio of scouts are on a camp out when a zombies takeover their town and with most of the evacuated, it’s up to them to save who’s left. There are some pretty funny sequences in this film. It has very crude humour (dialog and makeup effects). I’d say it’s like Superbad with zombies, but …

Years have past and the killing has started again. The gore level is increased, but the story and plot have taken a step back. The ending seems pretty contrived and one of the revealed killers is grossly miscast. It’s not nearly as good as the original, but it’s not terrible.
A couple of PIs break into a house to search for a missing student and they discover a large VHS collection. So what do they do? They watch ’em of course. This is the second installment to the popular horror anthology series. It’s loud; it’s chaotic; it’s dizzying; and my god, it is ever violent. …
V/H/S/2 – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 30 / Film #6 Read More »
George C. Scott gives a commanding performance in the second follow-up to the classic that completely ignores the second part. Way better than the sequel, but a far cry of the original. It’s more of a murder mystery with elements of horror. The banter scenes early on between Kinderman and Dyer are very funny. Also, …
Exorcist III, The – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 28 / Film #3 Read More »
This movie is nasty, purely vicious and brutal. Killings with a serrated blade are always much more graphic. So if you’re watching this film only for the murders, it will fulfill your bloodlust. However, there is absolutely no plot. People get killed, move to a new location, people get killed and so forth. Expected more …

This has the Fulci gore, sleaze and cinematography you know and love, but this one just didn’t grab me story wise. And a killer who impersonates a duck? I mean, c’mon. Just too hoaky for me.
