It Waits (2005) Movie Review
It’s pretty hard to make a Creature Feature movie nowadays — or at least, a good one. Mind you, most filmmakers don’t even bother with the “good one” part, as can be attested to by the swarm of cheaply made Creature Features that take up space at your local Blockbusters. Or just look at the [...]

When a movie runs just 76 minutes long plus opening and closing credits (call it a generous 70 minutes of actual movie), it’s a major tip-off that the movie has been sliced and diced so much that its primary goal is no longer art, but rather to make as much money back as possible for [...]

Besides offering up one of the more redundant movie titles in recent history, “Single White Female 2: The Psycho” is run-of-the-mill, below average stuff. It’s not even in the league of the so-called “erotic thrillers” of the ’90s and early ’00s, and we all know those films tried to steer clear of quality in lieu [...]

The exploration of evil and the dark side of human nature is one of the driving forces behind the horror genre, attempting to put a face on the wickedness and brutality which so often seems inherent in life. Of course, very few films actually take this seriously, exploiting the fear of the unknown no further [...]

To a certain extent reviewing a film like “Frankenfish”, with its lurid box art and a title that only genre fans or those with a healthy sense of irony could love, is an exercise in futility. Indeed, it seems rather pointless to argue the merits of a film whose basic premise revolves around a bunch [...]

Self-confessed B-movie actor Bruce Campbell is one of those guys you either get or you don’t. Then again, considering his short-lived A-list movie career, you probably don’t even know who he is. If you fall into the last category, you probably don’t know, or care, that Campbell has been trying to [...]

Although ostensibly inspired by the Hans Christian Andersen fairytale, “The Red Shoes” is clearly yet another entry in the recent wave of South Korean horror films based around cursed objects and long haired female ghosts. In fact, it is an almost archetypal example of this depressingly overpopulated subgenre, working through a checklist of its cliché, [...]

Whether the South Korean horror “The Wig” is seen as yet another in an increasingly long series of films about malevolent inanimate objects, or as a bizarre offshoot of the never ending long haired female ghost cycle, it is hard not to come to the initial conclusion that the premise of a haunted hairpiece represents [...]

There have been a great many film adaptations of video games, the overwhelming majority of which have been cheap, unimaginative cash-ins on the product name. This is especially true in the horror genre, where fans have been afflicted with the vacuous “Resident Evil” and its equally lackluster sequel, neither of which made much effort to [...]

With strong advance word from mainstream critics (including a nomination for the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes film festival) as well as the usual genre sources, Australia’s “Wolf Creek” is undoubtedly one of the most eagerly anticipated and hyped horror events of the year. Thankfully, this is one of the rare occasions when a [...]
