Review: John Wick: Chapter 2

I am not a fan of action films especially current ones. I've got an affinity for 80's absurd action films featuring all the muscle bound actors we've come to know and love and films that revel in the insanity of cartoon like violence like those of Ro...

Review: Doctor Strange

Dr. Strange is one of those comic book properties that seemed like it could never happen. From the failed television series in the 60's to Full Moon's attempt at a film that resulted in the knock off flick Dr. Mordrid. Stan Lee's insane alliteration ...

Freddy's 31 Days of Horror Day 31: The Thing

It's October 31st and for a fourth year I clamored trying to figure out the perfect film to recommend and review. I always start October with one of the Halloween films and end with something epic. Year one was Romero's Night of the Living Dead. Year...

Freddy's 31 Days of Horror Day 29: Hellbound Hellraiser II

In the late 80's Clive Barker started to become a name in horror literature that was as much of a selling point as Stephen King with his first few works selling amazingly. Barker himself had also been part of a theatre company along with Doug Bradley...

Freddy's 31 Days of Horror Day 28: DEATHGASM

It's no shock that my favorite time period in horror is the seventies through the eighties. It was a time period that was a proving ground for Special FX artists and writers and directors who wanted to make the craziest and most original films they c...

Freddy's 31 Days of Horror Day 27: The Devil's Rejects

Freddy's 31 Days of Horror Day 25: Clown

Imagine you are Eli Roth and you wake up one morning to your phone blowing up with text messages and calls congratulating you on your new film after they were so impressed by the trailer that was released for it. Only you didn't release a new trailer...

Freddy's 31 Days of Horror Day 24: Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of the grimiest and grittiest horror films ever made and a majority of that is due in part to the guerrilla style in which it was independently filmed. It looked and felt like something you weren't supposed to watch...

Freddy's 31 Days of Horror Day 23: Society

One of the most infamous horror films of all time is the iconic Re-Animator based off of H.P. Lovecraft's stories and directed by Stuart Gordon. The producer who came out to Hollywood to make his success which started with Re-Animator was none other ...

Freddy's 31 Days of Horror Day 22: The Final Girls

"They won't be singing Kumbaya, they'll be singing Kumbay nooooo!" Does anybody miss cheesy eighties horror slashers as much as I do? Do you revere them yet understand the glorious unsavoryness of them? This flick is the answer to our prayers! From t...

Freddy's 31 Days of Horror Day 21: Friday the 13th: New Blood

Before there was Freddy vs Jason there came a concept that honestly we will probably never see again in a horror film especially in this day and age. We've done six Friday the 13th films, the last one we did we resurrected Jason and made him into a s...

Review: Ouija Origin of Evil

The trend of sub par movies getting amazing directors attached to the sequels continues! I never watched Ouija nor did I ever intend to watch it other than maybe for the fact that Emma from Bates Motel is in it. From what I can gather it was another ...

Freddy's 31 Days of Horror Day 20: Innocent Blood

The man who gave us possibly one of the greatest werewolf films of all time has mostly done comedies like Animal House but even in his comedies he loves to dabble in horror and shows a great love and affinity for it. After the box office failure of h...

Freddy's 31 Days of Horror Day 19: Phantasm II

Phantasm is one of the Seminole 1970's horror films that itself took years to make under an extremely low budget and perseverance from director Don Coscarelli. It's also one of the strangest and most inventive horror franchises ever to be made dealin...

Freddy's 31 Days of Horror Day 18: Cronos

There are a ton of vampire movies out now and they have been flooding the cinemas for decades. Just like a good zombie flick I'm always looking for them to either expand the mythos behind the creature or give me a compelling dramatic story on the cha...

Freddy's 31 Days of Horror Day 17: Jeepers Creepers

Just like in the early nineties, where it was hard to find a good iconic horror film villain, it was possibly even harder in the early two thousands to find a horror film not starting teen TV stars and practical makeup FX monsters were very sparse. F...

Freddy's 31 Days of Horror Day 16: The Crazies

The four films after Romero's classic Night of the Living Dead are usually over looked. Season of the Witch, There's Always Vanilla, Martin and the Crazies all bring Romero's unique world view of human interaction and with the latter three bringing i...
