Horrorfest: 8, uh, 3 Films to Die For! / Reincarnation (2005), The Abandoned (2006), The Gravedancers (2006) Movie Reviews

I would guess that by now most of you caught the frenetic commercials for this unique horror “fest” that appeared to be a scary new ride at Great Adventure. The fest played at only 500 venues across the United States from Friday November 17th to Tuesday the 21st. I originally planned on seeing all eight [...]

The Return (2006) Movie Review

You know you might just see dead people when you enter a bathroom lit in the aqua blue tint “The Ring”. Especially if you’re Sarah Michelle Gellar and you’ve just faced down a “Grudge” or “2″. But Gellar’s character in “The Return”, Joanna Mills, has no idea what’s in store for her, walking aimlessly into [...]

Satan’s Playground (2005) Movie Review

“Satan’s Playground” is the latest from horror auteur Dante Tomaselli, director of the hallucinogenic shockers “Desecration” and “Horror”. The film sees him continuing his single handed revival of honest horror values, once again proving that while so many directors love to mouth off about capturing the look and feel of 1970s style genre cinema, Tomaselli [...]

Cinderella (2006) Movie Review

The modern Asian ghost bandwagon rolls ever onward, with film makers reluctant to abandon the cinematic cash cow of the long haired female spectre. “Cinderella” is one of the most recent examples of the genre, the second feature from Korean director Bong Man Dae, marking somewhat of a departure from his debut, the erotic drama [...]

The Grudge 2 (2006) Movie Review

There seems to be a grudge held by the media against director Takashi Shimizu for his “naked greed” in making the same damn film seven times over. It seems that it’s okay for a filmmaker to make a profit so long as it’s just collateral damage from the production of art. It also seems as [...]

Feast (2005) Movie Review

“Feast” started life as the winner of 2005’s “Project Greenlight”, the Reality TV show where Hollywood actors and kinda screenwriters Matt Damon and Ben Affleck offers a nobody the chance to win a screenwriting contest and have their film be made. “Feast” is a genre film through and through, written expressly for those who enjoy [...]

To Sir With Love (2006) Movie Review

The release of the Korean Summer horror blockbusters on DVD continues with “To Sir with Love” from director Im Dae Woong. Unsurprisingly, the film has nothing whatsoever to do with the 1967 Sidney Poitier classic of the same name, but is in fact a wonderfully vicious and twisted slice of mayhem which gives the genre [...]

The Woods (2006) Movie Review

Lucky McKee thanks God for little girls, for without them he would have no muse, no “raison d’être” as Maurice Chevalier might have said. He would also have made no films at all since the three he’s made on his own, “May”, the “Masters of Horror” episode “Sick Girl” and now, finally, “The Woods” are [...]

Spring Break Shark Attack (2005) Movie Review

Read that title aloud.
Spring. Break. Shark. Attack.
It has a nice alliterative sound, a sleek look, and a “Captain Obvious” clarity only topped by “Snakes on a Plane”. Most movie titles play coy with their subjects. “The Silence of the Lambs”, for example. Now what could that be about? A mute shepherd in the [...]

Left in Darkness (2006) Movie Review

“Monica Keena has big boobies.”
As unprofessional as it sounds, that’s the thought that kept running through my head as I watched Steven Monroe’s “Left in Darkness” (not to be confused with the “God is Great” Christian series “Left Behind”), a horror/cautionary tale about college binge drinking, date raping frat boys, and why you should always [...]
