Unquestionably the most exhilarating element of any werewolf film is the transformation into the wolf. The human body as host for the untamed monster that rips its way out of human flesh, developing into a bloodthirsty animal intent on destruction is incredibly terrifying and exhilarating. Unfortunately, this film was billed as a werewolf movie, but with a 12A certificate Blood and Chocolate (Katja von Garnier UK, Germany, Romania 2007) is anything but …

If the commercial success of 2009’s Paranormal Activity taught us anything, it’s the Power of Suggestion.  Utilizing every penny of his meager $15,000 budget, writer/director Oren Peli effectively hammered home the point that “less is more” when he managed to tantalize viewers’ imaginations and terrify audiences using nothing but practical special effects and a little ingenuity.
Unfortunately for fans of The Wolfman, Universal Pictures misinterpreted the “less is more” concept to mean less …

The beautifully titled Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors holds a prominent place in British horror history for being the first anthology film produced by Amicus Productions – an Anglo-American production house led by Max J.

But one that ultimately tailed off in the mid …

It’s nice to see a big budget Hollywood horror film come out this soon in the new year….no really, I think we’re all pumped to see this film.  Anthony Hopkins is returning to horror with Del Toro and special effects designer/director Joe Johnston is sitting in the masters chair.  Is that a good combo?  Who knows.  As for now, the trailer is pure eye candy and an excellent look at what’s to …

Let me start by saying that I’m a pretty big fan of the director of this film, Larry Cohen. He made a lot of great 70s and 80s exploitation fare, including Black Caesar, It’s Alive, God Told Te To and Q the Winged Serpent. Despite the fact he often worked on a small budget, he still was able to make some very entertaining and well done films. This film, Full Moon High, …
