Monster Mania 25 (PHOTOS)
We just got back from Monster Mania 25 in Cherry Hill, NJ! We missed out on a few good guests — i.e. Carrie Fischer, Malcolm McDowell (though, my dad got to see them both) and George Romero (my mom rode the elevator with him) — but thankfully, we got to meet a ton others. See… Read More ›
Review: Baggage (2013)
From Mumbles to Benjamin. In his newest short film “Baggage,” Rob Dimension ditches the clown make-up and booze for black frame glasses and a curious little briefcase. Short films are an interesting thing. You’re provided an extremely limited amount of time (typically under 30 minutes) to process the information given. Because of this, shorts often… Read More ›
Fright Night 2 — Huh?
I just took a peek at the ‘rare’ trailer for Fright Night 2: New Blood (2013) (via Arrow in the Head), the presumed sequel (?) to the underrated 2011 remake. All I can think to say is… huh? I’m just confused. All the characters are played by different actors. Nothing surprising there for a DtV horror… Read More ›
Kick-Ass 2: Comic vs. Movie, My Concerns (SPOILERS)
NOTE August 16, 2013: This post has been edited. If you were as curious as me about some of the sequel’s plot points (from the comic), here are some answers (in red). SPOILERS. This post contains spoilers from the comic and movie. Now that that’s out of the way… I am a huge fan… Read More ›
Review: Father’s Day (2011)
This is a difficult review to write. I’m a huge Troma fan—Tromatized at age twelve, after watching Dead Dudes in the House on Cinemax. So I followed Astron-6’s Father’s Day from the moment I first heard about it. I picked up the blu-ray from Troma’s table at a convention and recently got to viewing it…. Read More ›
Review: Hatchet III (and kind of Hatchet II)
First thing’s first. We adore the first Hatchet. It contains all the appropriate elements for a modern day ‘slasher.’ Boobs, blood, humor and a killer with a name (Victor Crowley) played by Kane Hodder. It’s awesome — and makes for a fun addition to the holiday horror calendar (you know, for Mardi Gras). When the… Read More ›
Go See ‘This Is The End’
I wish I hadn’t even heard of This is the End until about 20 minutes before actually going to see it in the theater. From the first second I heard that Seth Rogen was co-writing/co-directing a movie in which he and his buds play themselves during the apocalypse…well, you know, baited breath and all that….

Review: The Purge (2013)
Written and directed by James DeMonaco (whose credits include writing The Negotiator, the Assault on Precinct 13 remake and the 2006 werewolf flick Skinwalkers), The Purge is a fairly decent horror flick best described as an amped up home invasion thriller that takes place in the not-so-distant future. The gist: It’s the year 2022 and the… Read More ›
Review: Texas Chainsaw 3D
“Welcome to Texas, motherfuckers!” This is a line you’d expect in a 2012 flick with Texas in the title; however, here the character yelling the cliché is a girl who is not from Texas, yelling it at Leatherface, who obviously is. That sort of backwards-ness sums up this movie pretty well. Don’t get me wrong,… Read More ›
Review: Excision (2012)
When it came out last year, Excision, by first-time director Richard Bates, Jr., became one of those movies you heard about. Many people compared it to Lucky McKee’s genre fave May (2002) — and why not? They’re both about socially awkward, outcast girls that have an unconventional way of connecting to people — both culminating in some gory results…. Read More ›
