The Evil Dead trilogy is agreed, by most, to be the most accomplished work of horror/cult filmmaking. The three films together tell an extremely humorous, and at often times frightening, tale of the adventures of “the man” himself…Ash! Ash, played by Bruce Campbell, is a horror fans number one superhero. His story is one that is woven together by the likes of Sam Raimi, an excellent visionary …

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 …

These days, it’s a rarity to see films like Bryan Bertino’s, The Strangers, make such a large showing in theaters. Usually, at least these days, blockbuster horror films tend to dish out a lot more than just cheap thrills to keep its audience members returning to the cinema: hot chicks, fresh scripts, and tidbits of pop culture are all elements used to rake in the dough.

He had an impressive role in Tim Sullivan’s 2001 Maniacs while portraying the mayor of a southern ghost town, but for the most part, his films generally slide past most viewers’ …

When the plot of a film rests entirely on a small group of young sea goers, of whom just happen to stumble upon a supposedly haunted and abandoned ship, a big red flag waves frantically in front of the movie’s display cover that usually reads…”YYYar, stay far away lad!” Maybe abandoned ships and ghost pirates belong in Scooby Doo and not at home on my DVD rack…but who know?

Political horror is a trip. George Romero combines the worlds of political downfall, social satire, and zombie outbreaks quite well, while still supplying his audience with enough gooey carnage to keep his films entertaining and somewhat thought provoking on many different levels. Now, before I even popped The Tripper into my DVD player, I have to admit, that I already had a preconceived notion of the ways that David Arquette …

It’s always nice to put aside the immense pile of DVDs that I’m most eager to view and instead go with a film that I’ve, for some reason or another, been pushing aside for as long as I can remember. With all the gory glamour that’s going on in horror today, I must admit that I too am always looking to see the next “big thing” whether it be of the …

Once in awhile all the kiddies in my neighborhood will start talking about a certain horror film that has just been released in many of the main theaters around my area. I remember when The Blair Witch Project came out around Halloween 1999 and the theaters were all packed at the midnight showing. It was crazy! There have been other films like this, ones that you just HAVE to see, …
