Mirrors (2008) Movie Review

Being abnormally obsessed with Asian horror, about a year ago, on a whim, I bought “Into the Mirror” (“Geoul sokeuro,” 2003) through eBay. Written and directed by Sung-ho Kim, the film focuses on Woo Yeong-min (Ji-tae Yu of “Oldboy” fame), a traumatized former police officer who now works as a security guard in his uncle’s [...]

The Midnight Meat Train (2008) Movie Review

All I want to know is what did writer-producer Clive Barker and/or director Ryuhei Kitamura do or say to someone at Lion’s Gate to get their $15 million film “Midnight Meat Train” dumped into second-run cinemas on its opening week? Did they kidnap an executive’s family and set everyone on fire in front of him? [...]

Red (2008) Movie Review

The film, Red, turns good and evil inside out. Everyone loves Avery. He is a dog-lover, war veteran, fisherman, beer drinker, and widower living in a typical small American town. He has a kind, sincere face, weathered by life and soulful eyes that belie a secret tragedy. Three teenaged boys accost [...]

The Tattooist (2007) Movie Review

Let’s call it synchronicity. Last week, I was looking through the new DVD releases on Netflix, and I came across “The Tattooist,” a supernatural horror film about an American tattooist (Jason Behr) who, after swiping an ancient Samoan tattooing tool unleashes an avenging “evil” spirit. Being a connoisseur of supernatural horror, I considered adding it [...]

Ghost of Mae Nak (2005) Movie Review

Thai horror “Ghost of Mae Nak” was originally released back in 2005 when the modern Asian ghost genre was very much still in full swing, and with the country just having scored one of the best efforts of the form to date with the excellent “Shutter”. The film was, and indeed still is of interest [...]

Let the Right One In (2008) Movie Review

There are special effects that no Hollywood blockbuster can create, and magic that no money can buy. It is the magic of humanity that no CGI can recreate or substitute – the magic of perfectly cast actors whose alchemy transcends (and renders laughable) the puerile “special effects” of the generic horror products. LET THE RIGHT [...]

G.P. Guard Post 506 (2008) Movie Review

Although Korean horror films have for the most part been an uninspired lot over the last couple of years, there have still been a few flashes of creativity, enough so to keep genre fans hoping, holding out for something truly special. Simply put, “The Guard Post 506″, the second effort from Kong Su Chang, director [...]

Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) Movie Review

Hellboy is unique in the world of superheroes. He was conjured from hell by the Nazis, but he’s a good guy who watches too much TV, and enjoys a fine cigar, Baby Ruth, and the touch of a soft kitten. His weapons of choice are his rock hard Right Hand of Doom and a great, [...]

Jail House Eros (1990) Movie Review

The excellently titled “Jail House Eros” boasts what may well be the ultimate premise in exploitation cinema, combining the women in prison genre and the wackiest excess of the Hong Kong ghost film. Needless to say, the film was the brainchild of none other than Wong Jing himself, and is every bit as delirious as [...]

Mother of Tears: The Third Mother (2007) Movie Review

In the 70s Dario Argento’s films married two unlikely things-lurid violence and gorgeous visuals. His vibrant set design, use of color and imaginative direction made him a hit with both horror fans and critics. Many believe his best film is Suspiria, the story of a young girl trapped in a dance school where strange [...]

The Signal (2007) Movie Review

Around midnight in the city of Terminus, Ben (Justin Welborn)’s TV turns itself on, waking him up. Broadcasting across the airwaves is a signal that consists of pulsating and morphing images and an annoying droning sound. After he returns to bed, his lover Mya (Anessa Ramsey) tells him that she has to go home; her [...]

Rogue (2007) Movie Review

Aussie director Greg Mclean probably didn’t think there was anything more dangerous than the crocs in his new movie “Rogue”. Of course, that was before he met the suits in Hollywood. What was supposed to be Mclean’s much-anticipated follow-up to his critical and commercial hit “Wolf Creek” ended up being a tangled mess of changed [...]
