Is the Nightmare on Elm Street Remake Going for a PG-13 Rating?

The boys over at AICN have landed the first review from a recent screening of the “A Nightmare on Elm Street” remake, and the word is … mediocre? That’s just one fella’s opinion, but perhaps the biggest news is that the reviewer seems to get this nagging suspicion that the...

Cheesy, CGI-Saturated Trailer For Darin Scott’s Dark House

I’m not entirely sure if the laughs derived from the trailer for Darin Scott’s upcoming horror endeavor “Dark House” were intentional or not, but it certainly left me wanting more. A lot more. To be brutally honest, had genre icon Jeffrey Combs not been a member of the cast, I...

Will Tobe Hooper Return For The Next Texas Chainsaw Remake?

Unpopular opinion of the day: Tobe Hooper’s 1974 horror flick “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” is not a good film. Sure, it broke new ground in terms of intensity and introduced a lot of people to the extremes of hardcore horror, but it’s far from entertaining. The characters are...

Interview: Cast and Crew of Dead Wood

Another low budget horror film set in the woods. Great. Great? Well, actually, it is great. Really great. The reason it is great is because it is low budget and therefore it shows the Hollywood hacks how to do it. Dead Wood concerns four friends on a camping trip in the woods, they meet a mysterious...

Let’s face it, zombies make pretty bad neighbors, what with all the trying to eat you and whatnot. So how do we expect them to make good family members? That’s apparently the goal of a couple of Irish fellas living on an island in George Romero’s latest zombie opus, the unfortunately...

Palisades Tartan’s Asian Horror: Essential Collection Review

Just in time for Halloween, Palisades Tartan has grouped together three of the most successful Asian horror films of recent years in one region 2 DVD collection. Although terms such as ‘essential’ are woefully overused when it comes to such compilations, in this case it certainly rings true, as the...

I’ll Be Blunt: Evil Weed Looks Like A Pretty Good Joint

Yes, that headline is terrible. Beyond terrible. As bad of a joke as it may be, I’m still intrigued by the trailer for writer/director David Wexler’s upcoming horror outing “Evil Weed.” That being said, the track record for drug-related genre fare is spotty at best. “Shrooms,”...

Someone has Put Paranormal Activity’s Ending Online

So, um, yeah, I have no idea how this “Paranormal Activity” movie ending has been online for so long and the studio hasn’t yanked it yet, but here it is. (Of course, with all the supposedly (and obviously faked) “endings” running around the Internet at the moment, the poor...

Paranormal Activity (2007) Movie Review

A Slew Of Pics From Tim Sullivan’s 2001 Maniacs: Field Of Screams

Although I’m probably in the minority on this one, I’m of the belief that “Driftwood” director Tim Sullivan’s over-the-top 2005 horror/comedy “2001 Maniacs,” though stupid from its underbite to its ingrown toenails, is solid entertainment. Do keep in mind, however,...

Vampires Sure are Boring Looking in These New Daybreakers Images

Lionsgate has sent over two new images from the brothers Spierig’s new vampire/sci-fi movie, “Daybreakers”. I must admit, I was enthusiastic about the project when I heard about it, but I haven’t seen a whole lot about the movie, from the trailer to the images, that makes me think...

Korean Killer Boar Flick Chaw Headed To Region 1

Generally speaking, I’m not really a fan of the whole “animals run amok” genre. There are a few exceptions to the rule, of course, but for the most part, I find them to be somewhat lacking in the horror department. However, having recently witnessed James Isaac’s enjoyable 2008...
