Slaughterhouse of the Rising Sun (2005) Movie Review
“It’s such a fine line between stupid and clever.” David St. Hubbins, “This is Spinal Tap” (1984)
The origins of director Vin Crease’s “Slaughterhouse of the Rising Sun” may be more compelling than the feature itself. A low-budget horror/psychological thriller filmed in 1971, “Slaughterhouse of the Rising Sun” was “lost” for the better part of three [...]
Beyond the Wall of Sleep (2004) Movie Review
Set at the turn of the 20th century in backwoods Appalachia, “Beyond The Wall Of Sleep” tells the story of the frightening happenings at a decrepit mental asylum. It’s here that under the less than watchful eye of the asylum’s director, Dr. Fenton (Marco St. John, speaking with an accent that randomly varies from British [...]

“Hellraiser: Hellworld”, the eighth in the Clive Barker created (but no longer vouched for) franchise about pain-loving demons called Cenobites and their leader, Pinhead (Doug Bradley), chooses to go the post-modern route for the nth sequel in a series that just won’t die, mostly because there’s still money to be made from its dried up [...]

Airport check-in. Perhaps the greatest horror of the modern transport age. Dealing with long lines, heavy luggage, rude travelers and incessant delays are just some of the exhausting trials contemporary America goes through to get to our destination. It is against this familiar backdrop that we enter “Red Eye,” the latest film by legendary horror [...]

Running a scant 75 minutes from material only rich enough for 20 actual minutes, “The Prophecy: Forsaken” continues the story of American Allison (Kari Wuhrer) as she continues to run from bad angels, Satan, and a mortal hitman played by Jason Scott Lee. The hitman, we learn, wants to blow his brains out instead of [...]

“Slashers” is a low-budget Two Guys in a Room movie, where much of the film (as the name may imply) consists of two guys sitting in a room and talking endlessly about something insignificant to chew up running time. At over 90 minutes, “Slashers” has plenty of scenes were characters do nothing but stand in [...]

One does hope that director Christian Ingvordsen has already looked back at his horror-western opus “Fort Doom” and, in hindsight, realize that he should have shot the thing on film instead of digital video. Even grainy 16mm with natural lighting would have been the better choice. DV may be cheaper, easier, and faster, but it [...]

“The Hillside Strangler” is another in the recent series of grimy true crime films focusing on infamous serial killers, this one by the team of director Chuck Parello (responsible for the rather dull “Ed Gein”, as well as the lamentable “Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer 2″) and writer Stephen Johnston (who scripted “Ed Gein”, [...]

Giddy over the surprise success of “Halloween 4″, the producers wasted no time getting a follow up into production. Their haste is evident, since the fifth installment in the “Halloween” franchise is an amalgam of great ideas that never come together to make a satisfying film. While dark and atmospheric, the film underachieves in the [...]

In actor Andrew Lauer’s directorial debut, the teen (or in this case, 20-something) horror movie “El Intermedio”, four friends (two childhood friends and their respective significant others) decide to take a trip to the U.S.-Mexican border, where they will go into a tunnel that joins the two countries and, according to one entrepreneur, bring back [...]
