The Echo (2008) Movie Review
Guest Movie Review by Lance Curtis — Twitch.com says it is the most “art-house oriented film” to come out of Vertigo Entertainment, the producers behind horror films The Ring, The Grudge, and now The Echo.
The Echo, directed by young filmmaker Yam Laranas, certainly comes as a surprise to even those horror fans who claim to [...]
Edges of Darkness (2008) Movie Review
Have you ever felt like watching a horror film, but couldn’t decide if you should choose a film about zombies, vampires, parasitic machines, the anti-Christ, or the apocalypse? Thanks to “Edges of Darkness,” you no longer have to make a choice, because this indie film contains ALL of these elements in one place.

Diary of the Dead (2007) Movie Review
During his 40-year career, George A. Romero has made 17 films, five of which have been about the “living dead.” His last film, the 2005 “Land of the Dead,” had an uncharacteristically large budget, $15 million; a wide theatrical release; and starred several big names, including John Leguizamo, Dennis Hopper, Simon Baker, and Asia Argento. [...]

Although perhaps not as internationally recognised as that of other Asian countries, Thai genre cinema has over the last few years been responsible for a growing number of popular hits and cult favourites including the likes of “Alone”, “Dorm”, “Sick Nurses” and others.

Although the modern Asian ghost genre continues to languish in the creative doldrums, it does throw up the occasional gem, such as the delirious “Sick Nurses” from Thai directors Thospol Siriwiwat and Piraphan Laoyont. A truly whacked-out and imaginatively grotesque variation on the tired old themes, the film has been gathering somewhat of a cult [...]

In the early 1980’s, the then-new home video market needed product to sell in between the release of major films. Video companies turned much of the time to independent directors and small production companies who were not able to get major theatrical distribution secured for their films. By directly targeting the consumer with this “straight-to-video” [...]

The British already know that writer-director Paul Andrew Williams is one to watch. His feature film debut, “London to Brighton” (2006), saw him being nominated for a BAFTA, as the Carl Foreman Award for the Most Promising Newcomer. He may have lost out on that one to Andrea Arnold for “Red Road,” but he didn’t [...]

Whether Korean horror “The Wig”, receiving a somewhat belated DVD release through Tartan, is seen as yet another in a never ending series of films about malevolent yet 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 [...]

I was taught, in school, that when you write a journalistic article that you never write in the first person. I just broke that rule. That’s going to be the first of many in this brief and very caustic review for The Cook - Unrated, produced by The Cook Movie, LLC and Red [...]

Nearly 30 years ago, Jamie Lee Curtis gave her lungs a workout in “Prom Night,” playing Kim Hammond, a prom queen who, along with her three friends, was terrorized by a vengeful killer. Their crime? Six years prior, they had antagonized a child, which had resulted in its death. Aside from the teens being stalked [...]
