There is something that is so painfully real about Angela Bettis’s portrayal of May.  You could say that there is a little “May” in all of us because May is ambitious, curious, shy (her dominant personality trait), and vengeful.  Bettis also gives what is perhaps the best female performance, ever, within any genre of horror.  Will her performance be as memorable as Jamie Lee Curtis’s roll in the first Halloween?  Probably not…but …

A link to a nice horror short by Robin Kasparik.  It’s gotten much appraise in all the right places and most importantly…it’s kind of creepy!  It reminds me of A Drop of Water, a famous Mario Bava short.  Enjoy this!

“I think it is really first rate work – direction, designed, acting, all worked.”
Tony Randel, director – Hellraiser II
“Terrific job.”

Slasher films with no twist are just that….slasher films.  If you decide that your antagonist is going to have a large knife, he better have a motive or a unique back story to his vengefulness.  If you don’t have even the slightest bit of physiological twists and thrills within your hour and a half’s worth of film, you’ll find yourself making another tired ‘ol slasher film.  BUT…if you put some meat on …

I’m a huge fan of the first installment, and while The White Ghost seems to have recreated the series, most of the usual ghostly thrills apparently have remained the same. I’m really looking forward to the American release that is still scheduled for April 26th. Until then, this trailer brings back some of the classic chills of the original. Enjoy!

Horror films from the decade of big hair, bright clothing, and boom boxes, generally reflected pop culture to a T.  The 80’s pop culture films simply pinpointed what it truly meant to be a young adult in such socially demanding environments.  The Breakfast Club wasn’t the only classic to help mold the generation, as there were also an abundance of horror films that came out during that wondrous decade of glitter, sheen, …

Here is a trailer for Zomblies, a high octane zombie flick from Realm Pictures. While the military and zombies have crossed many paths in the past, this still looks to satisfy your need for high amounts of action and pure carnage. Look for this in the Summer of 2010!

Stuart Gordon is a director that deserves an outstanding amount of praise for his contributions to horror in terms of his traditional influences in theatrical styles, character direction, signature color schemes, and metaphysical subject matters.   Simply for the fact that most of Gordon’s films are loosely based on short stories by H.P. Lovecraft, these themes should not come to a surprise in any of his films.  Worlds that are nearly …

Cabin Fever may have created some kind of sickness in the world of mainstream American horror. Eli Roth seems to exploit various groups and cultures with nearly every film he makes, and for one reason or another, other American filmmakers have clung onto the same types of themes and ideas. Call it marketing, but I say it’s Hollywood trying to sell a genre of film, like horror, to the biggest demographic as possible. …
