Resident Evil: Extinction (2007) Movie Review
“Extinction”, the latest installment in the “Resident Evil” videogame-to-movie horror franchise, is such a Paul W.S. Anderson film that had you seen it and not known it was written by Anderson, you would think to yourself, “Wow, that’s such a Paul W.S. Anderson film.” It’s a breezy, fast-paced, no-strings-attached movie that entertains, but never reaches [...]

“30 Days of Night” has been billed as a new take on the Vampire movie. After watching it, the only ‘new’ element I can identify is that the vampires are full-on bad guys this time around. None of that tortured soul, conflicted motivations, touchy-feely nonsense. Just hard core, mean spirited blood sucking [...]

The recent wave of Shaw Brothers horror releases continues with “Return of the Dead”, acclaimed director Li Han Hsiang’s 1979 return to the genre following his 1960 classic “Enchanting Shadow”. Although the presence of Li, who won several awards during his career for the likes of “Empress Wu”, “The Magnificent Concubine” and studio productions, might [...]

Fans of Shaw Brothers horror and indeed of wild exploitation cinema in general have a real reason to celebrate with the release of the long sought after “Bewitched”. Directed by the legendary Kuei Chih Hung, who gave the studio a number of morally reprehensible genre classics such as “Killer Snakes”, “Corpse Mania” and “Hex”, the [...]

The DVD blurb for the Shaw Brothers release “Hell has no Boundary” is an amazing piece of hyperbole, hailing the horror film as an ‘exercise in eradication’ which assures that ‘gorehounds will be giddy with joy’ - words guaranteed to send a shiver down the spine of any genre fan, especially those with a taste [...]

The first of the summer 2007 wave of Korean horror films to hit DVD is “The Evil Twin”, marking the directorial debut of Kim Ji Hwan. Thankfully, for those fans who have understandably grown somewhat disillusioned with the genre of late, tired of directors’ reluctance to stray from the confines of the done to death [...]

How many films remain famous or indeed infamous nearly ninety years after their original release? Perhaps even more importantly it might be asked how many such films remain accessible or of interest to the average viewer than existing merely as curio pieces for cineastes and academics? The answer to the first question is ‘few’, and [...]

It’s hard to make a zombie movie and have it stand out nowadays, which is probably why British writers/directors Michael Bartlett and Kevin Gates decided to make a zombie movie that is shot exclusively from the perspective of handheld video camcorders. The premise is a simple one: It is the early days of a zombie [...]

Tom Stoppard once wrote a one act play called “The Fifteen Minute Hamlet” which was, as you can probably guess, a pretty incoherent version of “Hamlet” performed in 15 minutes. You can imagine that much would have to be left out and that what was once dramatic and tragic would be renderned pointless and hilarious. [...]

Werewolves on motorcycles are certainly something you don’t see everyday. Or werewolves that pack more heat than Dirty Harry at an NRA convention, for that matter. Then again, the way these werewolves slaughter people, leaving a trail of carnage wherever they go, you’d expect some kind of massive nationwide manhunt would have been underway for [...]
