Jason Voorhees – Man or Super Man?

September 24, 2008

It’s always fun to watch the first four (or rather, parts 2-4) of Friday the 13th, because it shows Jason Voorhees as a real human being. Kane Hodder, who played Jason from parts 7-10, once remarked that his goal in playing the part was to given Jason more emotion, something an unstoppable zombie who more [...]

Crane Attack!

September 22, 2008

Bored with the real world and for some odd reason missing the sleepless nights and endless stress of academia, I’ve made the decision to apply to Ph.D programs in a variety of fields. I received my Master’s degree in Classical Civilizations, which is only slightly less useless than Art History, but since my interest in [...]

Friday the 13th

September 21, 2008

Despite my distaste for Platinum Dunes remakes, this poster for the Friday the 13th remake is flippin’ awesome.

Recent spike in traffic

September 20, 2008

Whenever I write something substantial, I submit them link to Digg, Reddit, and FARK in an effort to increase traffic. While this might seem kind of underhanded, it’s the only way anyone is ever really going to see my work. It is done with the intent of people liking what they see and returning, so [...]

Review: The Exorcism of Emily Rose

September 13, 2008

Decided to try a little humor. Written hastily in about twenty minutes.

Director: Scott Derrickson
Year: 2005
Country: USA
I’m not going to beat around the bush with this review. The Exorcism of Emily Rose was a shitty fucking movie, replete with every fucking cliché you can think of, and devoid of anything that can remotely be considered suspenseful, [...]

Paradise Lost

September 12, 2008

While this is apparently old news, Scott Derrickson, the man behind The Exorcism of Emily Rose and the director of the upcoming The Day the Earth Stood Still remake, is at the helm of what I can only presume is the first real film treatment of John Milton’s Paradise Lost.
Word has it that the movie [...]

Forum Deathmatch

September 8, 2008

In my vain attempts to proselytize this blog, I have attempted many, many things, none of which I’m particularly proud of. Submitting my articles to Digg, Reddit, and Fark are among the top three, though I have dived down into the belly of the beast and started posting on the Bloody Disgusting and Fangoria forums. [...]

Review: À L’Intérieur

Director: Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury
Year: 2007
Country: France
I’m not going to go on a profanity laced rant over how mainstream horror films are ruining the genre, only to segue into a review of another foreign film that once again makes your favorite Hollywood horror remake look like Bring It On. I’m not going to bitch [...]

Stop Michael Bay and Platinum Dunes

September 4, 2008

Upon hearing the news that Michael Bay and his production company, Platinum Dunes, are in talks to remake the classic horror film Rosemary’s Baby, I nearly shit myself with anger. I was consumed with even more rage when I heard that Jessica Alba and Lindsay fucking Lohan were names flying around to play the part [...]
