“Mirrors” was doomed for terrible critical reviews from the start. Horror never scores big with film critics; in fact I can’t remember the last horror film that got more positive reviews than negative. If the film in question is a remake as well, especially of a foreign movie, it’s almost destined for critical failure. There’s a reason for that: most horror remakes are utter garbage and are solely created so studios can …

“They will make cemeteries their cathedrals and the cities will be your tombs.”
We all have those moods where we want to sit down and watch a film that offers little more than some cool visuals and a lot of gore. Well, straight from the minds of Dario Argento and Lamberto Bava (yep, that’s Mario’s son) we are presented with a film that does just that. Demons is simply an excuse to stylishly …

First off, Paranormal Activity was filmed in one week’s time. I remember when I was filming in my backyard and it took me a week to make MY film, my understated masterpiece. Did it turn out as wonderful as PA? I’M NOT TELLING!!!!
Paranormal Activity stars two relatively unknown actors who are continuously haunted by a demon, or poltergeist, if you will. The demon has followed Kate, a …

Some things are just born evil, or in this case made evil. Christine is the seventh feature film from the great John Carpenter, who was coming off of two big horror successes with Halloween and The Fog and the undeserved commercial failure of The Thing. Carpenter has said that he took the job only because it was all that was offered him at the time, but don’t let that seeming lack of …

Whenever a film like Dead and Breakfast comes along, I immediately take a look at my Peter Jackson collection of Bad Taste, Dead Alive, and The Frighteners, and think to myself, what if there was no Peter Jackson? He’s definitely a guy that has undisputedly lead one of the most influential careers in all horror filmmaking, and whether or not he is done making films for the gorehounds of the world, …

There is a simple rule that follows any haunted house film. The number one rule for any director is to establish the house itself as one of the most important characters in your film. The house is to be a living breathing entity. The use of personification is the key ingredient to any man vs. supernatural tale and The Amityville Horror is an amazing example of how a …

This is my BIG gripe. Hollywood needs to stop remaking these Asian imports. For the most part the originals are okay. But there are only so many times I can see The Grudge. None of them have brought anything new to the screen. They all seem to be some sad ghost story with Cirque Du Soleil elements. When you’ve seen them all, you just want to …

I was so hyped about this movie. First of all the script was co-authored by Wes Craven. Secondly, it stars both Kristen Bell (you know, Veronica Mars) and Ian Somerhalder (Boone from Lost). As great as those three people are and a great motivator for me to see a film, it’s a remake of another Japanese terror import. Now, this isn’t the straight forward ghost story that we’re used …
