Before I begin this review, I just want to say one thing:
Fuck Alexandre Aja.
You burst onto the scene High Tension and became a fucking star (however undeserved it might have been), yet you wasted a wealth of potential on shitty remakes. I have yet to see a bigger fall from grace since [...]
By way of Tor.com, Sean Bieri gives to us the 12 Days of Zombie Christmas. You may remember Sean Bieri as the man who gave us the hilarious “I feel stupid for ordering brains now” comic I blogged about a couple of months or so ago.

Director: Bruce Campbell
Year: 2008
Country: USA
What is there to say about Bruce Campbell that hasn’t already been said? The man is revered as a god among select horror fan boys, perhaps rightly so given his role as Ash, the Deadite-slaying anti-hero in the Evil Dead trilogy. This says nothing of his many other films, all straddling [...]
Here’s a brief yet informative interview with the one and only Bruce Campbell, courtesy of the Sun Journal.
Q. You’ve been very candid in criticizing your co-workers when you think they deserve it. Most people with long careers in Hollywood are more circumspect.
A. I’m not going to lie on somebody else’s behalf. Matthew Perry loused up [...]
Ganked from a three year old article by Paul Rudnick in the New Yorker.
I know, I know, not horror related. but funny nonetheless.
Day No. 1:
