The Babadook is an Australian Monster film, Directed by Australian native Actress/ Director Jennifer Kent. This film has been hyped up, to be one of the scariest films of last year. Even legendary Director William Friedkin (The Exorcist.) Has put his stamp on it, labeling it as “The most terrifying film” he’s ever seen. So…
Slaughterhouse (1987)
As a child of 80’s horror; who walked the halls of the video store like it was my museum. A warm, cozy feeling comes from collecting the movies of yesteryear, in my older age. My favorite sub of the horror genre; aside from zombie horror, is the slasher film. There’s something magic about the old…
Skull Heads (2009)
Okay, I’m back, and Full Moon is on my mind. As I continue to pour through their catalog, I finally obtained a movie that almost acted as the resurgence of their modern incarnation. Charles Band made it a mission to start producing upwards of four to five movies a year, just as they did in…
Strangeland (1998)
This movie remained an enigma for me for years. I saw it back in the hey-day, as it played alongside the golden days of Full Moon. In every respect it has Full Moon written all over it, but in the end, isn’t. The main problem was that once you caught a movie on TV, there…
The World of Yoshihiro Tatsumi
The problem I find with manga and, really, American comics as well is that it’s very easy for me to get burnt out. I can only read a reboot of Ghost Rider or Spiderman or Batman so many times before I start to feel like maybe I’ve heard this story before and manga isn’t much…
Night of the Living Pelosi (2012)
Normally, I try to stay away from politics. I really do. You cut your audience in half, and with this site, that would literally bisect someone and kill them. However with all the seemingly useless attack ads out there that no one likes, there is one this season that plays out like a 70’s era…
Shadow of the Vampire (2000)
I watched this back when it first came out. It was not due to the source material, but rather the fact that the movie rental business was still around, and that was the only form of entertainment at the time. I hadn’t even heard of Nosferatu at the time and my desire to see cult…
American Gothic (1988)
Culture clash is far from a new concept, and that of modern social norms vs those from yesteryear has also been used. Sometimes it’s as simple as a group cut off from the rest of civilization for a period of time, while society progressed (or regressed at time). However I’m usually not in the camp…
Monsturd (2003)
Choosing a favorite movie ever, has always been tough for me. Some can rattle it off, others lie because that’s a highly social-political chess move in life. For me, I usually have a steadfast movie/band/computer game, which is usually ‘good’ in all respects, but it ends up being more of a quick answer to a…
Attack of the Giant Leeches (1959)
I first saw this in my crazy eBay days of the early 2000’s, when I stumbled upon a seller of n’th generation VHS dubs. At this point, you couldn’t get much, since no one was making things on DVD aside from blockbusters, and most of the VHS tapes had tracking issues. At least the bootlegs…
