Platinum Dunes is an unholy entity shepherded by a wicked being that thrives on the disappointment of others. Their modus operandi is ostensibly to update classic horror franchises in a way that manages to strip them of every element that made the original enjoyable and unique. They are [...]

Director: Joey Stewart
Year: 2010
Country: USA
High school is a bitch. You know this, I know this, Jason Kabolati knows this. Judging by The Final, one of the eight films that makes up 2010’s After Dark Horrorfest line-up, you would think that his four years spent at high were akin to spending four years trapped in Satan’s [...]

Country: Australia
After Dark’s “8 Films to Die For” program is has been up to this point in time a horrible misnomer. Save for Frontière(s), which was never released in theaters with the other films, and Zombies of Mass Destruction, which was pretty terrible but awfully funny, the films that consider themselves lucky [...]
Bitch Slap
Director: Rick Jacobson
Year: 2009
Country: USA
I am not familiar with exploitation films. My modus operandi is the cinematic output of the past decade or so, with a few older films sneaking in from time to time to remind me just why I got into horror in the first place. As a result, I am unable [...]
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 [...]
Sweet Tooth
Writer: Jeff Lemire
Art: Jeff Lemire
Publisher: Vertigo
I am not an avid comic book reader. The last comic book I read was The Maxx, which I still consider to be one of the best comic books in existence, and that was years ago. So when I was given the opportunity to read and review Sweet Tooth, [...]

Country: France
When The Strangers, Bryan Bertino’s 2008 home invasion thriller, was released in 2008, immediate comparisons were drawn between it and Ils (Them), a little known French thriller released in the states a little over a year after it premiered in its native country. Much support was given to [...]

Shortly after the overwhelming success of 2004’s Shaun of the Dead, horror comedies have a tendency to gravitate toward the zombie-genre, with at least one new zombie comedy being released every year. Given the predilection for many filmmakers to follow this formula, it’s always refreshing to see a horror comedy [...]
This gets double billing due to its uncharacteristic approach. I’m fairly certain no one will agree with my assessment, but hey, different strokes for different folks. It’s also short, so, uh, deal with it

outpost
Director: Steve Barker
Year: 2008
Country: UK
Zombies are universally known as a monumental pain in the ass. It’s true. They smell, the by-product of that whole being dead thing; they’re ugly, again, a by-product of that whole being dead thing; and they have this weird, insatiable urge to eat your brains, a by-product of George Romero’s weird [...]
