Director: Vincenzo Natali
Year: 2010
Country: Canada
Vincenzo Natali is an interesting director. He made a splash with Cube, one of the most original yet poorly acted science fiction films I’ve ever seen. He followed that up with Cypher, which I haven’t seen and can therefore not comment on, and Nothing, a surreal and [...]
Horror-Squad-Logo
Over at my other haunt Horror Squad we’ve slowly started rolling out a number of unique (and quasi-unique) features all four of you might get a kick out of.
Horror Squad Movie Club – Each Friday a member of the Squad picks a horror flick available online and gives a brief intro, explaining why they chose [...]
Zombies of Mass Destruction
Director: Kevin Hamedani
Year: 2009
Country: USA
Zombie comedies, heretofore known as “zombedy,” are all the rage these days. Zombieland tore up the box office and resulted in a weird cult of Woody Harrelson (I still say his best role is as Woody on Cheers), while Doghouse, though relatively unseen outside the festival circuit and [...]
antichrist-poster
Director: Lars von Trier
Year: 2009
Country: Denmark
The influence of Lars von Trier’s latest magnum opus Antichrist reaches far and wide. The overarching theme of the film, “chaos reigns,” became the unofficial slogan of Fantastic Fest, and although recently cancelled to legal issues, CHUD.com and IFC sponsored a “make your own Antichrist poster” contest so that similarly [...]

Director: Jake West
Year: 2009
Country: United Kingdom
A plethora of zombie films have saturated the horror film landscape for almost a decade, drawing the ire of those who simply want something more than the same ol’ same ol’ out of the walking dead. Every so often, however, we’re given a unique zombie film, be it outright horror [...]
survival-dead-poster
Director: George Romero
Year: 2009
Country: United States
The air was thick with anticipation for the North American premiere of Survival of the Dead, an event made all the more poignant by the appearance of George A. Romero himself. Given that his prior film, Diary of the Dead, was (in my opinion) a pathetic attempt at capitalizing on [...]
paranormalactivity
Director: Orin Peli
Year: 2007/2009
Country: United States
When I was seventeen years old I saw a midnight screening of the The Blair Witch Project in Sarasota, Florida at a tiny indie theater downtown. After leaving the film I went home to a pitch-black, dead-silent house, terrified out of my mind. Although no doubt bolstered by my post-film [...]
