Hellraiser 4: Bloodline (1996) Movie Review
You know a movie is in trouble when more than one person is credited as director. But when the original director tries to uncredit himself, that trouble has just doubled. Kevin Yagher, whose only directorial credit was an episode of the TV show “Tales from the Crypt”, opted for the “Hollywood way of saying I [...]

Believe it or not, a film like “Willard” is more difficult for me to swallow not because of its main premise — a man learns to control rats for his own purposes — but because of the personality of its lead. Crispin Glover (”Charlie’s Angels”) plays the titular character, a 30-something with slick back hair [...]

More “Return of the Living Dead” than “Night of the Living Dead”, the Hong Kong salute to Zombies Attack film “Bio Zombie” is funnier and more effective than you would think at first glance. Only true fans of the genre will be able to appreciate the balance director Wilson Yip (”Skyline Cruisers”) and the writers [...]

Let me preface this review by saying that I’ve never seen the original “Blair Witch Project”, the low-budget movie that revolutionized the way films are promoted on the Internet. But from everything I’ve heard, this isn’t a problem because the original and its sequel are two completely different movies sharing the same movie name. With [...]

Black people all over the world have always maintained that if everybody in Slasher movies were black, they would all survive because, the theory goes, black people have more common sense than white folk. This notion is reinforced somewhat by the token presence of at least one black character in Slasher films. According to my [...]

I am sometimes baffled by the choices film studios make, such as shelving the terrific “Salton Sea” but throwing everything including the kitchen sink to push “Final Destination 2″. And yet, sometimes I have to tip my hat to the studio suits because they’ve somehow managed to make the right decision, even if it doesn’t [...]

“Mimic” is essentially a Don’t Mess with Mother Nature movie, with Mira Sorvino’s Doctor Susan Tyler playing the (not-so) Mad Scientist. In an effort to cure a plague that’s killing children by the hundreds, Susan and love interest Peter (Jeremy Northam) genetically engineers a new strain of bugs called the Judas Breed that’s designed to [...]

“I was shot on Super VHS, and as a result the film doesn’t look too great. Running at just 80 minutes, “Insaniac” tells the story of Autumn (Robin Garrels, who also wrote the screenplay and co-produced the film), who must take a journey back into her past to discover what had transpired a year earlier, [...]

In this day and age, when even established Slasher franchises like “Halloween” and “Hellraiser” has to scrape the bottom of video store shelves and basic cable TV just to survive, it’s a mystery why anyone would shell out good money to begin another Slasher franchise. “Bloody Murder 2: Closing Camp” is a sequel to a [...]

Parts “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and parts “John Carpenter’s Vampires”, the French film “Bloody Mallory” is all goofball. It would be a big mistake to take anything that transpires within the film seriously, mostly because the filmmakers themselves aren’t.
“Mallory” stars Olivia Bonamy as the titular character, a demon slayer whose innocence was taken when, [...]
