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 [...]

Snakes on a Plane (2006) Movie Review

Believe it or not, the aptly titled “Snakes on a Plane” began life when studio execs tried to come up with the worst movie concept ever: a myriad of venomous and very angry snakes are released on a plane while in mid-air and start attacking passengers. As a joke, they put this idea on a [...]

The Breed (2006) Movie Review

The funniest thing about “The Breed” is how every other line of dialogue in the film’s first 30 minutes revolves around how they were once young, what they were doing when they were young, etc. Meanwhile, in the back of our minds, all we can think of is: “Give me a break. You’re all in [...]

Arang (2006) Movie Review

“Arang” is the first of the 2006 wave of Korean Summer horror blockbusters to be released on DVD. The film marks the debut of director Ahn Sang Hoon, who apparently spent several years preparing the production, which previously went under the title of “Line”. The film begins in less than promising fashion, with a couple [...]

Re-Cycle (2006) Movie Review

“Re-Cycle” is the latest effort from Hong Kong ’s dynamic directing duo Danny and Oxide Pang. The film screened at the 2006 Cannes International Film Festival, closing the “Un Certain Regard”, marking the growing international recognition of the talented twins. Although “Re-Cycle” sees them sticking with the supernatural, the film is quite difficult [...]

Severance (2006) Movie Review

“Severance” is the latest from British horror hope Christopher Smith, who had a hit in 2004 with his excellent tube-bound chiller “Creep”. Here, Smith tackles something a little more ambitious, attempting to work in satirical humour and even social commentary amongst the ever rising corpse count. Of course, comedy and horror are not necessarily the [...]

Wilderness (2006) Movie Review

“Wilderness”, Michael Bassett’s follow-up to his World War I horror movie “Death Watch” can best be described as “Lords of the Flies” meets “Friday the 13th”. The film concerns an intrepid band of delinquent teens who, after one of their own commits suicide due to bullying, are sentenced to become one with nature at a [...]

Bleeding Rose (2006) Movie Review

Producer Val Lewton was the driving force behind a series of innovative B-horror movies for the RKO Studios beginning with “Cat People” in 1942, and ending with “Bedlam” in 1946. He developed a new style of horror film storytelling by presenting credible characters living and working in the real world amid real day to day [...]
