Wendigo (2001) Movie Review
Horror movies that put young children in the middle of supernatural events to be terrorized as their parents sit idly by in the next room are nothing new. Although there does seem to be a noticeable increase in this particular premise of late, as films like “Darkness”, “Darkness Falls”, “They”, and now “Wendigo” can attest [...]

I think it goes without saying that a movie called “Python 2″ is bad. Even for a Straight-to-Video movie, a class of picture that is usually synonymous with the word “bad movie”, “Python 2″ takes the cake.
Essentially about a giant python snake created by the Evil U.S. Government for Evil Intentions, the python snake [...]
The Dead Next Door (1988) Movie Review
If I had to guess, I would say that J.R. Bookwalter, the auteur behind the no-budget zombie opus “The Dead Next Door”, shot his movie with a 8MM film camera. It looks grainy enough, dark enough, and has enough incomprehensible visuals to be 8MM. Of course I could be wrong and the film’s bad images [...]

James O’Barr’s “The Crow” comic book, which originally ran in the late ’80s/early ’90s as a 4-issue mini-series, was a brilliant and nihilistic story of everlasting love, unrelenting pain, and human nature gone terribly, terribly wrong. The movie “The Crow”, directed by Alex Proyas (”Dark City”) and written by David Schow and John Shirley, is [...]

Joe Chappelle’s “Dark Prince: The True Story of Dracula” is not really, well, true. While the movie claims to present the “true” story of a Romanian prince name Vlad who had to fight off the Muslim Turks and the Catholic Hungarians during the 15th century, it is in fact rife with inaccuracies. Then again, this [...]

I know it’s something of a cheat to call Brian Clement’s zombie opus “Meat Market” a foreign film, since while the film is made by Canadians in (most likely) Canada, it’s not really a “Canadian movie”. The questionable cataloging of the movie aside, “Meat Market” is a no-budget Zombies Attack movie shot on video, and [...]

It just doesn’t pay to be a reporter in a horror movie nowadays. Mixing elements of “Ring” with “The Blair Witch Project”, the Hong Kong product “Horror Hotline: Big Head Monster” is not as silly as you might think by the, well, silly title. The reporter here is Mavis (Josie Ho), an American reporter in [...]

Only genre fans need bother with Patrick Lussier’s unfortunately titled “Dracula 2000″, about the titular bloodsucker (Gerard Butler) making a comeback in the year (what else?) 2000. The screenplay by director Lussier and co-writer Joel Soisson, who has made his bones writing genre movies, makes for an effective and exciting — if wholly lacking in [...]

Some readers are offended when they see me use the word “dumb” to describe some movies. I guess no self-respecting movie critic would ever use words like “dumb”; I guess I’m supposed to come up with more flowery ways to say that a movie is dumb. Well, I’m sorry, but sometimes a movie is just [...]

Adapted by Dean Koontz from his own novel of the same name, “Phantoms” is directed by Joe Chappell, who was rumored (wink wink) to have a hand in directing the troubled “Hellraiser: Bloodline”. The film stars the lovely Joanna Going as Jennifer, a Doctor living in a small town who is returning home with her [...]
