First off, I’m a huge fan of haunted house flicks: The Haunting, The Changeling, and The Shining are all films that rest upon the peak of haunted horror greatness.  Robert Wise’s original film is a masterwork of chills and mystery, but really, most of the success of the truest of haunted house flicks lies in the directors’ ability to personify the house itself; Wise’s film is no different, and it is my …

So, this movie had me at hello. I don’t know if it was a mood I was in, but right from the weird mummified tube tortured dude before the credits, I was ready for more. It seemed Captivity was gonna freak me out just a little. And it did. A little.
Jennifer Tree (Elisha Cuthbert) is everywhere. Billboards, television, magazines…she IS America’s next top model. But here, …

People love the James Peterson stuff. I can be be such a mainstream media snob. Yes, I admit I’m one of those people that won’t see something because of the hype. Everyone told me that they LOVED this movie. So it took me a really long time to get around to seeing it. I’m gonna take my nose outta the air, cuz…even though there’s no blood and guts …

It’s almost become habit to expect a film based on a Stephen King short story to be…well, not good. 1408 gave me a few tingles but not enough to change my mind.
We meet Mike Enslin (John Cusack) a writer of mediocre travel logs that give insight to the most haunted spots in America. He seems to be on the last leg of a tour of hotels to review for his …

Bubba Ho-tep gained cult status almost overnight. Starring Bruce Campbell of “Evil Dead” fame playing an elderly not really dead Elvis, it really had no choice but to become a cult fan favorite.
“Bubba” starts in an old folk’s home. An Elvis impersonator with an odd growth on his dick is miserable. Not only because of the lump on his “little buddy”, but because no one believes he’s really Elvis.

Ah, the holiday season is upon us and what better way to celebrate then making some cocoa, curling up on the couch with the one you love, dimming the lights and watching a slasher flick. Black Christmas aka Black X-Mas gave me nostalgic tingles all over. I’m a huge fan of the 1974 original starring Olivia Hussey and Margot Kidder. Even Andrea Martin of SCTV fame was in the …

In my review for The Hills Have Eyes I forgot to mention the awesome scary make-up effects used to create the mutants that inhabit the actual hills. The hills of this deserted nuclear test site are filled with people that have been deformed from radiation poisoning and decades of in-breeding in the deserted mines that have been all but forgotten by civilization, until now.
The government has taken a new found interest …

Schmock•u•men•ta•ry – noun
1. Movies, Television. a tongue-and-cheek documentary film, radio or television program, etc. that combines the elements of a mockumentary and a shockumentary into a campy package full of dark humor and faux-slasher biographic narrative.
I found this film so tastefully unique that I had to coin a new definition of its genre. Behind the Mask is Spinal Tap meets Friday the 13th in a hilarious account of the curriculum vitae …
