I picked this film for my list blindly, I had no idea what it was about Continue reading

[Bea’s Reviews] Eugenie … Her Journey into Perversion (1970)
“Eugenie … Her Journey into Perversion” (1970) A film maker always takes a huge gamble when it comes to adapting any genre of literature because they are not only sticking their necks out professionally, but they are at the mercy of the fans of the story they are adapting for the big screen. We have … Continue reading
[31 Days Of Horror] Mini Reviews: Island Of Lost Souls (1932) and The Hamiltons (2006)
I am really not sure how I never ended up seeing this film until recently; sometimes they just slip through the cracks. Continue reading
[31 Days Of Horror] Mini Reviews: The Uninvited (1944) and The Raven (1963)
The Uninvited is a film I have wanted to see for quite a long time, and with A.J.’s encouragement I decided to track it down and add it to my 31 Days Of Horror line up Continue reading
[31 Days Of Horror] Mini Reviews: Dead Snow (2009) and Vampyr (1932)
Mini Review Day 9: Dead Snow (2009) Dead Snow has been on my ‘To Watch List’ for quite some time, and what better time to finally tap this one than for 31 Days? I’ve heard nothing but good things about this one, and I can see why! It is a really fun and self-aware horror … Continue reading
[31 Days Of Horror] Mini Reviews: Don’t Look Now (1973) and Captain Kronos (1974)
It feels criminal to me now that I waited to so long to see Don’t Look Now, but in waiting I did Continue reading
[31 Days Of Horror] Mini Reviews: Sweeney Todd (1936) and The Church (1989)
There are several film versions of Sweeney Todd, and up until now I hadn’t seen any of them. I felt compelled to start with director George King’s version, and I am rather glad I did. Continue reading
[31 Days Of Horror] Mini Reviews: Drácula (1931) and Paranoia (1970)
After what seems like years, I finally sat down and watched Drácula (1931), the Spanish version. It was shot at the same time as the Tod Browning film Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] Count Dracula (1970)
“Count Dracula” (1970) First, I want to say this- I really have no idea how to explain my feelings about this movie. Horrorotica director extraordinaire Jesus Franco’s take on Dracula starts off as a very respectable take on Stoker’s prose only to descend into what can only be described as whacky madness. I… I guess … Continue reading
[Review Rewind] The Addiction (1995) by Garrett Collins
I don’t think I am hanging too far off a limb by saying that the vampire genre is one that has been done to death (no pun intended). We have seen tortured vampires. We have seen happy vampires. Continue reading

The Most Dangerous Game is a film I have been meaning to watch for quite some time and 31 Days Of Horror … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] She Killed In Ecstasy (1970)
Exploitation films by common definition are not meant to be high art or sterling looks into the human spirit, but in the hands of Jesus (or Jess if you prefer) Franco, that generalisation tends to come apart. Continue reading
[Review] Nightbreed (1990) by Garrett Collins
Starring: Craig Sheffer, Anne Bobby, David Cronenberg, and Doug Bradley Directed by: Clive Barker It’s hard to think about now, but back in the mid 80s, Clive Barker was known as horror’s next big literary and motion picture giant. With his Books of Blood collections and a film called Hellraiser, he had started placing his … Continue reading
[31 Days Of Horror] Mini Review: The Bird With The Crystal Plumage (1970)
THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE (1970) Dario Argento’s first solo directorial effort The Bird With The Crystal Plumage is an absolutely fantastic film. If you have seen his other earlier works from the 70’s and 80’s you’ll have a good idea of what to expect. The film is a classic ‘giallo’, a mystery/thriller/horror that … Continue reading
