My approach toward horror is different from most in that I hate most everything. This goes double for almost every theatrical release that can remotely be considered horror; yet to assume that Sam Raimi’s latest foray behind the lens would be anything but a bloody delight is to discount the man’s [...]
…looks like he needs a slightly bigger hat. I’m aware it’s a quick, out-of-focus candid, but pre-burn Freddy looks just…just awful. This photo was obviously stolen from Joblo in case the big fucking watermark didn’t give it away. I guess Arrow in the Head took the photo? I don’t know, I’m too lazy to look [...]
At the time of this writing, Drag Me to Hell, Sam Raimi’s latest foray into horror has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The majority of reviews from news sites and bloggers have deemed the film “amazing,” a seemingly insurmountable task given my preconceived notion that all big-budget horror films are, simply put, utter crap. [...]
The horror industry has painted upon the latter half of this decade a unique and identifiable oeuvre. Its medium of choice is the blood of the innocent and our withering sensibilities, its canvas the silver screen of a foreign nation. I am, of course, speaking of the “New Wave of French Horror.” Seemingly a subset [...]

One of the biggest hurdles in making a decent zombie film is injecting a semblance of originality in what has become a relatively stale sub-genre over the past year or two.

This review contains spoilers. Like it fucking matters.
Internet buzz is a powerful yet dangerous thing. It gives the film in question a tremendous amount of publicity, allowing it to reach a much wider audience; conversely it also places a horrible burden on the film to outdo all [...]
So if anyone follows my Twitter or is friends with me on Facebook (and you should do both!), you’ll know that I am taking a huge leap and starting life anew in beautiful, mountainous, and snowy Boulder, Colorado. A bunch of personal shit has expedited this transition from late July to….now (see all the details [...]
Canada’s The Burning Hell are an untapped resource in horror movie soundtracks. While Dog Fashion Disco and dredg hold my number one and number two positions respectively for scoring my horror film that will never get written, The Burning Hell come in at a close third. Their predilection for esoteric instrumentation can, given the [...]
When I first began this blog I began a furtive search for every reputable horror website on the internet. Faced with a seemingly insurmountable task, and, eventually, the less-than-startling realization that all the major ones essentially feed on each other, I stopped and used a select few for horror news. One of those few is [...]

Let it be known that this is the first film I have ever seen that gave the viewer a migraine.
I’m not referring to myself, but to my viewing companion, though I walked away with a severe look of confusion and a mild pain behind the eyes, the end result of [...]
