Much like the Re-Animator (who’s popularity I imagine this film tried to play off of), Rejuvenatrix covers the issue of messing with a part of life that should not be meddled with. In the Re-Animator, it was death, but in this movie the concept of eternal youth and beauty is the main focus. The fountain…
The Deadly Spawn (1983)
There have been plenty of early low-budget monster movies, and many are hit or miss. Usually the budget plays a role in that, but fortunately for the Deadly Spawn, that was not the case. Whoever was in charge of the puppeteering did a fine job at creating a hideous alien being. The aliens consist of…
One Eyed Monster (2008)
Not quite sure how to review this bizarre movie. In essence, it’s a traditional monster/critter movie. However, if you go by the cast and titles, it throws elements of the adult industry into the mix. However it is first and foremost a regular horror movie and combined with a level of very apparent campiness makes…
Pig Hunt (2008)
Forests and hillbillies are usually a combination for a lower budget production in order to hide said lack of money. The sets are free, and a little dirt will put anyone into character. However Pig Hunt ended up being a much better production that a typical entry. After the obligatory scene were a person we…
Trick ‘r Treat (2008)
Most everyone has seen Creepshow and most everyone like Creepshow. So that said, we have a new movie that follows in the same tradition of smaller interwoven stories and for the most part it works. The movie follows four main tales, each of which crosses paths at some point. The movie starts with a young…
Hugo’s House of Horrors (1990)
It’s finally Goshtober! I’m pretty excited to write about some SpOoOoKy vIdeO gAmeS. Hugo’s House of Horrors isn’t really going to scare you unless you’re particularly faint-hearted, but I figured I would start the month out with one of the more G-rated horror games. Just to get you warmed up. Hugo’s House of Horrors is…
The Killer Eye (1999)
Charles Band, and Full Moon. You can look no further than this movie to pretty much define the niche he carved out. While the 50’s had sci-fi monster movies, the 60-70’s had gritty torture movies, and the 80’s had campy slashers, I personally feel that the 90’s will pretty much be defined by the various…
The Dunwich Horror (2009)
The Dunwich Horror was easily one of H.P. Lovecraft’s best works during the time of his more prosperous years. Mixing themes such as the ignorance of man when faced with superior beings and the ancient mysticism and legends or rural New England, Lovecraft wove a tapestry of intrigue and terror. The Dunwich Horror also bears…
The Unnamable II: The Statement of Randolph Carter (1993)
I’ve always wondered how difficult it would be to make an adaptation to a work by H.P. Lovecraft. Surely, it would be a horror film and one would hope that a cerebral, psychological vibe would be present. How does one convey the psychological torment endured by Lovecraft’s unfortunate protagonists? Surreal imagery, perhaps, or intriguing sound…
Crocodile (2000)
Car ride cliché…check. Okay, off to a start then. Many years ago, Tobe Hooper made a movie called Eaten Alive. Not to be confused with the cannibal movie of the same (translated) name. This movie starred Robert Englund seven year before he would become the famous Freddy Krueger. His role played him as a rather…
