[Review] Poltergeist (2015)

[Review] Poltergeist (2015)

The horror genre is just riddled with remakes and reboots, and while we do get some fairly good films out of it, the majority just do not work.

[Review] Hush (2016)

[Review] Hush (2016)

Being isolated for some people can be quite comforting, no one else around, just peaceful, and even better if that isolation is in nature.

Well you get BLOOD PUNCH, a horror/noir/comedy/thriller that is about as far removed from those two things as possible. Director Madallaine Paxson and writer Eddie Guzelian have crafted a feature that is both strangely … Continue reading →

[Review] The Horde (2016)

[Review] The Horde (2016)

Two genres that basically shaped me as a person are action and horror, from my earliest days in watching films to now. They have always been a staple for me, and they seem to be the kinds of films people most associate with me. So when an action/horror film falls into my lap, my interest … Continue reading →
