What an absolute delight of a film. To say too much about One Cut of the Dead is to spoil the fun of Shinichiro Ueda's pseudo-found footage zombie film with a twist, so I'll just say that it's full…

Zombie Flesh Eaters (or Zombi 2 if you prefer) is one of those films I grew up knowing the cover of and always had on my list due to its infamous reputation. But I hadn't gotten around to it until…

Eric Jacobus talks with Bryan Kristopowitz about directing his new short film Bag Lady, a possible feature-lengthy version and more.

Cure is one of those movies that has been on my watchlist for a long, long time. Kiyoshi Kurosawa's psychological horror film has quite the reputation as an influential predecessor to the J-horror…

Tobe Hooper's take on Toolbox Murders isn't any better than the 1978 original, albeit for very different reasons. The original is a cheap cash-in affair that has some grisly kills but little in the…

A brilliantly underrated satire of fascism. Paul Verhoeven cleverly inverts the themes of Robert A. Heinlein's novel for a film that manages to be both entertaining as hell and intelligent (and,…

George Romero turned his unique vision from zombies to the vampire with Martin, a film that works because we never actually know if it's a vampire film or not. Perhaps one of Romero's most…

Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum is a pretty standard found footage film in terms of story; it's the execution that makes it standout. There's nothing deep or incredibly innovative about the story, which…

Look, say what you want about Howling II -- I certainly have -- but that awful film at least went for broke. On a technical level, Howling IV: The Original Nightmare not only a worse film than that…

Slumber Party Massacre II is such a goofy little slasher movie. In some ways that works to its benefit. Its approach to its killer, played with scenery-inhaling flair by Atanas Ilitch, is quite…

Alt: Mads Mikkelsen as Hannibal Lecter: Unapologetic Cannibal

Bryan Kristopowitz checks in with his review of the new sci-fi action comedy short film Bag Lady from Eric Jacobus.

Sometimes all you need a movie to be is "fine." Netflix is arguably the master of that particular quality level, and Re/Member is a perfectly acceptable example of that. A South Korean mix of The…

Alt: Mort's Sacrifice: Oh Yay I'm a Sacrifice

If you're not into SOV horror, Soul of the Demon is very much not the movie for you. And that's fine, because the shot-on-video format isn't something that will spark for everyone. The ultra-low…

The episode where learning slang from teenagers is cool, L is confused by "Big Hungry", Yare wants some Kingdom Hearts inserted, and Gilligan's Island had some issues. Our intro music is "Homeostasis"...

Alt: Paul Heyman's Iconic Poke Rant

AEW has announced that former All-Atlantic and Trios Champion Pac has passed away.

Claiming to have never heard Ella Langley's record-setting country song 'Choosin' Texas' is similar to saying, 'I listen to anything but country.'

I may have done Murders In the Rue Morgue a disservice by watching it right after The Black Cat. The latter film makes itself miles more effective by giving us a couple to introduce us to the…

Pairing Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff together was always a good idea; even if the movie wasn't great, it would always be a delight to see them bounce off each other. Extra credit to The Black Cat,…

The episode where our heroes avoid monster cooties, L has a SUDDEN NEED TO HARMONICA, Yare ruins a woman's whole life, and we look at the adjective. Our intro music is "Homeostasis" performed by Golf ...

I have a lot of admiration for Let's Scare Jessica To Death, but I didn't end up connecting to it emotionally. There are a lot of fascinating things in this unsettling study about a woman who is…

Do I think Ghost Ship gets too much hate? Yes. Does that mean it's good? Oh, very much no. Dark Castle's 2002 supernatural horror film plays kind of like an oceanic riff on Event Horizon, with half th...
