Back in 2003, while Eli Roth was doing press to hype up his debut film Cabin Fever, he made it very clear that he was a big reader of Fangoria Magazine. A magazine that I also read, and remember featuring articles on Wes Craven, John Carpenter, and George A. Romero. Roth was such a huge … Continue reading

[Review] Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol by Logan J. Fowler
After three movies all featuring different directors, Brad Bird (The Iron Giant, The Incredibles. Ratatouille) puts on his “live action movie directing” hat, breathing some life into the longest running franchise based on a tv show. We catch up with Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) who is in prison at the beginning of the film. The … Continue reading
Mask Maker (2010) – Review by Garrett Collins
When horror called itself out in 1996’s Scream, people thought that the slasher film was dead. Yes, it had been dying a slow death since the mid 80s, but with Matthew Lillard and Jamie Kennedy spitting out rule after rule from the movies that all horror fans knew, and the general public getting an opportunity … Continue reading
[IFF ’11] A Quiet Life (Una Vita Tranquilla)
It is always a pleasure to watch a film where you have no idea what is about. Before I sat down to watch this film I had no idea what to expect. I didn’t read any loglines or plot summaries for it. I pretty much went in blind. All I knew about it was that … Continue reading
[Review] Weekend
As strange as it may seem, I don’t generally do a lot of research before heading into a film. I like to be surprised and I don’t want to have any kind of expectations. This is what I did with Weekend, and I am glad I did. I am unfamiliar with writer/director Andrew Haigh’s other … Continue reading
Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings (2011) – Review by Garrett Collins
I must say: the premise for Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings was very intriguing to me. While the series itself has a decent entry (Wrong Turn) a semi watchable entry (Wrong Turn 2: Dead End), and an unwatchable entry (Wrong Turn 3: Left For Dead), I felt that director Declan O’Brien (who also did the … Continue reading
[Review] We Need To Talk About Kevin
It took two watches for me to finally sort my feelings out for We Need To Talk About Kevin. It isn’t that the film is difficult to understand; it isn’t like that at all. It was more along the lines of ‘yes I like this but certain things are irritating me so badly’. So I … Continue reading
The Muppets 2011 – Review by Logan J Fowler
Who ever thought that The Muppets would make a successful comeback? Not many of us jaded fans, as we believed that Kermit and friends would never find their way back to stardom. But Jason Segel (Forgetting Sarah Marshall, I Love You, Man), a self proclaimed fan of Jim Henson’s creation, has worked with Disney, owners … Continue reading
[Review] The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Pt 1 (2011)
Before I start this review, I’ll state that I haven’t been a fan of this film series since I saw the first film. That initial viewing was a huge let down and I didn’t understand the hype, and the more I thought about it the more I began to really detest the deep seeded messages … Continue reading
[Review] Evil Things (2009) by Garrett Collins
Evil Things is another entry in the hand-held/found footage sub-genre of horror. For anyone who needs a description, this kind of horror deals with the audience having to watch meaningless conversations between people who are acting like they’re not acting. Obviously, with the success of the Paranormal Activity franchise, these are the type of films … Continue reading
[Rewind] Full Eclipse (1993) by Garrett Collins
Full Eclipse (1993) As a little kid, the only way I knew of Mario Van Peebles was as Michael Brody’s ‘Jamaican’ friend in Jaws: The Revenge. Not a great way to make an impression. Then, he directed the drug crime thriller New Jack City and black western Posse. He was not really a great actor … Continue reading
[31 Days Of Horror] The Changeling (1980)
THE CHANGELING (1980) I had been meaning to see this film for quite some time, and when I needed another 31 Days replacement, a friend brought it up and I thought I might as well finally watch this. This film turned out to be one of the genuinely creepy films that I have ever seen. … Continue reading
[31 Days Of Horror] Mini Review – Graveyard Shift (1990)
GRAVEYARD SHIFT (1990) So I needed to find a replacement for Suicide Club since my DVD was faulty. I decided I would finally check out Graveyard Shift, the film that Eric Walkuski and Ammon Gilbert have been going on about since I met them. Did it live up to those oh so high expectations? You … Continue reading
