The Embalmer (1996) Movie Review
To be honest, I don’t know why I spend so much time hunting down and watching no-budget movies like “Embalmer” and its ilk. I guess if I had to absolutely put a reason to it, I would say that a part of me wants to discover another “Evil Dead”, while another part of me is [...]

Surprisingly, I had a lot of hope for “Demons”, and was anticipating its first reveal of the demons that would terrorize our characters with bated breath. And then the demons were revealed, and all the hope and expectation I had for Lamberto Bava’s 1985 horror film, “Demons”, sank like the intelligence of teen characters in [...]

The new horror movie “Darkness”, not to be confused with “Darkness Falls” (although both films share similar gimmicks involving darkness), stars Anna Paquin (”X-Men”) as a teen whose family moves into an old house in the Spanish countryside — or “the sticks” as Paquin’s Regina calls it. The house, as it turns out, has no [...]

As further proof of the sad state of horror films nowadays, I give you the British movie “Deathwatch” and the recently reviewed Spanish/U.S. collaboration “Darkness”. Two films, made by very competent directors using super slick visuals, a big budget, a competent cast, and from their own screenplay. And yet both films are as scary as [...]

You really have to like Vampire movies in order to appreciate how good and original John Carpenter’s “Vampires” is. And I’m not talking about Fake Vampire movies, where the vampire is of Eurotrash origin and prefers to seduce lonely housewives. I’m talking about Real Vampire movies, where a grungy looking bloodsucker grabs the closest runaway [...]

Although sold as a Supernatural Horror film, the new Jordan Chan movie “Sleeping with the Dead” actually works better as a Drama. For one thing, the supernatural premise behind “Sleeping” is a retread of the Kevin Bacon film “Stir of Echoes”, involving a vengeful female spirit that comes back from the grave to exact bloody [...]

Marked most noticeably by the vast improvement in movie special effects circa 1994, “Phantasm 3″ also gets a much-needed boost by way of a coherent screenplay. In “Phantasm 3: Lord of the Dead”, franchise creator/writer/director Don Coscarelli brings the whole team back to continue their never-ending battle with the Tall Man and his minion of [...]

If there’s one thing I can say about the “Phantasm” series (and I’ve only seen two so far), it’s this: it is one confusing franchise! The opening of “Phantasm 2″ was so mind boggling and convoluted that I had to go back and watch the original “Phantasm” just to see where/how the original ended and [...]

If you decide to watch “Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter”, you will bear witness to the following:
(And depending on your level of taste or sense of humor, you will either weep at how bad the movie is, or chuckle at how bad the movie is. Either way, you’ll come to the conclusion that this is a [...]
Night of the Living Dead (1990) Movie Review
It should be obvious by now that I don’t look at movies like “Night of the Living Dead” and say, “The Hours”, the same way. Some people like to go to the movies to be bored to death by pretentious wonderings on why the world isn’t full of homosexuals, that way the world would be [...]
