Why am I Writing About “My Super Psycho Sweet 16″?

October 20, 2009

Sadly, this film is not a documentary detailing the unfortunate demise of a vapid whore who cries when her daddy doesn’t get her the right car for her birthday, but instead an original made-for-MTV horror flick airing this Friday at 10 PM.
To get straight to the point, I do not think this movie will be [...]

Can Brad Anderson do it again?

Brad Anderson directs Peter Mullan on the set of Session 9
I consider Brad Anderson to be one of the finest working filmmakers in horror today. No one has a better grasp on how to truly convey fear, terror and emotion than he does, evident in his three horror/thriller features, Session 9, The Machinist and Transsiberian. [...]

Queen Victoria: Demon Hunter

August 27, 2009

Most everyone in tune with horror, especially those with a predilection for consuming horror-themed literature have heard of or read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, a mash-up of Jane Austen’s classic novel and, well, zombies. Despite its relative popularity it has received mixed reviews, with some citing the prevalence of Jane Austen over the inherent [...]

James Wan heads to Romania

July 28, 2009

Bloody-Disgusting reported several days ago that James Wan, the man who conspired with Leigh Whannell to bring us the original Saw and usher in a franchise for the new millenium, will co-write and direct the adaptation of Castlevania, Konami’s classic side-scrolling masterpiece featuring vampire hunter Simon Belmont.
I have mixed feelings about this, and it has [...]

If you’re going to do a remake…

July 22, 2009

…it might as well be one from the thirties. By way of Shock Till You Drop, HorrorSquad, the newest horror vehicle from Cinematical’s Scott Weinberg reports that Tobe Hooper, the man behind Poltergeist and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is in talks to direct a remake of the classic zombie film White Zombie.
Given the tendency for [...]

Jackie Earl Haley’s big unveiling as Krueger

Over the past week or so I have seen oodles of coverage on the unveiling of Jackie Earl Haley as Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street reboot by Platinum Dunes. Well, it’s finally here, and everyone from Bloody-Disgusting to Dread Central posted the picture, with only Shock Till You Drop mentioning that you [...]

Bad News, Everyone!

The fact that I completely yanked that subect line from Reddit (it’s too damned appropriate to NOT use) and its general non-horrorness notwithstanding, the very notion that FOX is apparently seeking new voice talent for Futurama’s triumphant return is nauseating. Of course, this is all probably apart of their grand scheme. See, FOX doesn’t like [...]

Woman blasts off man’s penis with firecrackers

Some of you might remember a review I wrote for Us Sinners, an independant thriller written and directed by George Snow. More interesting than the review, however, was the fall out that followed it, as Mr. Snow had issues with the way I approached the film. This included outlining the entirety of the movie, including [...]

Ash Across America

This is Ash the Bobblehead. Ash is bored. For too long he has spent his days cooped up in boxes, or spending sunrise to sunset standing in the same spot on my bookshelf, longing to see this great land known as America. This this weekend I am packing up everything I own and moving more [...]

Life imitates art

June 8, 2009

With horror, suspension of disbelief is key. Not anymore.
“Baby Stolen from Murdered Mother’s Womb”
Investigators are attempting to establish that the baby actually belonged to Kia Johnson, an 18-year-old woman whose partially-eviscerated body was found on Friday in Curry-Demus’s flat.
She had been bound with duct tape and probably drugged, said police. Her abdomen had been sliced [...]
