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 ›
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 ›
Review: Evil Dead (2013) – He Said
Note: Johnny and Joanna wrote separate reviews for Evil Dead. They posted each review without having seen the other’s. View Joanna’s review. People went nuts when the Evil Dead remake was announced. But the release of the red band trailer quickly shut up most naysayers. That trailer promised a tense, gory-as-hell, CGI-free retelling of everyone’s… Read More ›

Review: No Clowning Around (2012)
Bozo. Shakes. Pennywise. Clown Dog. Grimm. Vulgar. The annals of clowndom are filled with psychos, sad sacks, and killers from outer space. Mumbles, the anti-hero of the short No Clowning Around, falls somewhere between Shakes and Vulgar. He drinks hard, curses, dates junkies, pals around with foul mouthed Muppets and generally creates chaos wherever he… Read More ›
Review: Warm Bodies (2013)
Jonathan (All the Boys Love Mandy Lane) Levine’s Warm Bodies is based on a Young Adult novel. Who the hell cares? If you write this flick off as tweeny bopper Twilight fare, you will be missing out on one hell of a movie. This is not a send up. This is not some watered-down zombie… Read More ›
