Demon Slayer (2003) Movie Review
It probably comes as no surprise that the best thing about “Demon Slayer” is the movie poster, which promises plenty of lovely young women for us to gawk at. The movie itself has a couple of scenes featuring gratuitous nudity, most likely added to “spice” things up. God knows the rest of the movie isn’t [...]

I will give co-writer/director Jorge Olguin points for ingenuity and creativity. As to originality — well, there isn’t much of that here in “Eternal Blood”. The Chilean movie is about a group of Goth kids who role-plays as vampires. Things take a turn for the strange (comparatively speaking, that is) when they encounter people who [...]

There’s nothing wrong with “Webs”, an original Sci-Fi network movie, that another round of rewrites couldn’t fix. For instance, the Crane character played by David Nerman would be written as human instead of just an all-around jerk until the very end, when he inevitably redeems himself and dies a gruesome, though heroic, death. And oh [...]

Rob Zombie’s “House of 1,000 Corpses” seems like an appropriate enough title. The movie is essentially about a family of backwoods hillbilly that preys on passing motorists. Their latest prey are four 20-somethings on their way home from somewhere. The year is 1977, and Otis (Bill Moseley) is the head of the loony household. Otis [...]

About 25 minutes into “Dracula 2: Ascension”, Fair Hair Lead Elizabeth (Diane Neal) moans, “Why is this happening?” Well, Lizzie, let’s recap what you’ve done in just the last 10 minutes alone, shall we? Let’s see: discover a vampire in your morgue; steal the vampire; and then feed the vampire a bathtub full of blood. [...]

The Zombies Attack genre is a burgeoning one in Japan. I’ve only seen a couple of real zombie movies, including “Junk” and “Wild Zero”. And while “Versus” also featured zombies, it was more chop socky than anything else. “Stacy” (or as the full title calls it, “Attack of the Schoolgirl Zombies”) seems to follow in [...]

Towards the end of the Serial Killer movie “Code 11-14″, and after the serial killer’s identity has been revealed to the audience, the killer radios leading man David James Elliot (who has since figured out the killer’s identity as well) and taunts him with this line, “It sure took you a long time to figure [...]

As Giant Creatures Attack movies go, Jack Sholder’s “Arachnid” is pretty decent. But as a regular movie regardless of genre, it’s lacking. Starring Chris Potter as Valentine, an ex-military who leads a medical expedition to an isolated island to help some locals, “Arachnid” features a giant spider that has been mutated by alien experimentation. Although [...]

I like to think that when it comes to Teen Slasher movies I’m a little more lenient than your average movie critic. Given the right ingredients of sex, violence, and gore, I’m usually quite satisfied. So why did Boris Pavlovsky’s 60-minute opus, “Granny”, fail to entertain me at just about every single level?
For one, [...]
Double Vision (2003) Movie Review
Kuo-fu Chen’s “Double Vision” was written, executed, and intended for international audiences, so maybe this is why the film lacks a more “Asian” feel. Oh sure, the screenplay by Chen and Chao-Bin Su makes mention of Taoism, of demons and “unseen supernatural forces” and what have you, but the film’s first 90 minutes plays out [...]
