Have a look at this incredibly fun and incredibly violent claymation video featuring a chainsaw wielding maid just going to town on a bunch of zombies. A fun way to spend seven minutes.

King’s article in Entertainment Weekly can be found here.
————————————————————-
It’s incredibly rare for a horror movie to frighten, especially when you consider the big-budget, special effects laden abortions that Hollywood has been churning out as of late, so it’s always nice to see someone like Stephen King, an icon for the genre and purveyor of three-page [...]

As this blog gains momentum, I hope to highlight, review, and more or less jerk off to those films that tend to fly under the radar and get overshadowed by all the remakes that seem to be polluting the cinemas today. Thank you Michael Bay, for that.
Several months ago, if not a year, I saw [...]

Apparently Sam Raimi announced at Comic Con that Evil Dead 4 is “in the wheelhouse.”
I wonder if this is going to coincide with his remake of Evil Dead, which just…just makes me angry.

Year: 2001

Session 9 is one of those movies people rent because it’s Saturday night, they’re bored, and it has a cool box cover. They’re looking for a way to pass the time, and the fully expect to forget the film once its over. But Session 9 won’t let that happen, and the [...]

I have not seen the first three films by Alexandre Aja, though I suspect most have not. His magnum opus might be considered Haute Tension had the script not degraded into a cheap M. Night Shayamalan rip-off, rendering the first half of the movie completely implausible and utterly stupid. Though this made the film absolutely [...]

I have a friend back home who’s an accomplished screenwriter. While he hasn’t sold anything (and it’s a damn shame that he hasn’t), he has written five feature length screenplays, running the gamut from drama to horror to comedy. A couple of years ago I pitched an idea I had to him and another friend [...]

Mr. Cardone,
I remember seeing an advertisement for your film, Wicked Little Things, over two years ago. It was one of the eight that make up the 8 Films to Die For in 2006, and despite the presence of a film starring Snoop Dogg, I was really looking forward to it. Your movie stood out the [...]

Rarely does a horror film come along that truly and genuinely frightens me. So far, the tally is around five or so, though a few should be exempt, such as Sleepaway Camp, as I was, like, seven when I saw both, and seeing Angela standing there stark naked holding a decapitated head is not exactly [...]
