I Know Who Killed Me (2007) Movie Review
Prior to seeing the trailer for “I Know Who Killed Me”, I had already read up on the premise and several other details pertaining to the film. I’m sure I’m not the only person who could care less as to whether or not star Lindsay Lohan succeeds (I don’t feel I need to go [...]

Aside from the odd on-form outing from the increasingly erratic Pang Brothers, it’s fair to say that the Hong Kong horror genre has for the past few years been in pretty bad shape, with the majority of releases being content to simply pick up the well-chewed scraps from the modern Asian ghost table. Thankfully, some [...]

You have to wonder what the people who greenlit the screenplay to “28 Weeks Later” were thinking. Then again, maybe the fiscal need to produce a sequel and cash in on Danny Boyle’s “28 Days Later” from 5 years ago was the only impetus. The script, such as it is, was co-written by director Juan [...]

Michael Winnick’s “Shadow Puppets” has a killer premise, one of those high-concept pitches that, had I heard it, would have bought in a second. The plot of “Puppets” is similar to films like Vincenzo Natali’s “Cube”, or more recently, the Jim Caviezel picture “Unknown”. It concerns seven strangers who wake up in an abandoned facility [...]

“Noriko’s Dinner Table” is a Japanese parable, a meditation on issues like urbanization and the impact of family, technology and image on the concept of identity. The film wonders what it means, in a world bent on breaking all boundaries, to be one person in favor of another. Are we defined by our upbringing, our [...]

The most recent cinematic adaptation of a Stephen King short story was 2004’s “Secret Window,” a moderately satisfying suspense thriller in which Johnny Depp played a reclusive writer who, after secluding himself in a lake house so that he may escape his fractured personal life and concentrate on his latest book, is confronted by a [...]

Eli Roth has the touch of the sophomore prankster. The lasting effect of all three of his films is a certain kind of Grand Guignol “Punk’D”, in which the “mark” is not only embarrassed, he’s also cut to pieces. You half expect Roth to pop up just as a character is having his face sliced [...]

Although when thinking of Korean horror the most obvious examples which spring to mind are modern efforts such as Park Ki Hyung’s “Whispering Corridors” and Ahn Byeong Ki’s “Phone”, both of which have become known the world over, the country actually has a long and rich history of genre film making. One director who has [...]

John Kalangis’ “The Mad” is more horror spoof than horror-comedy, despite what the film’s DVD box cover art would have you believe. To be sure, the zombies (or Mad Cow People, as a friend of mine remarked) may seem to indicate the presence of ambitions toward being a horror-comedy ala “Shaun of the Dead”. But [...]

“Shikoku” could easily be discarded as ‘yet another long black haired ghost story from Japan’, but please bear with me, because it is much more than a derivative attempt to cash-in on the J-horror craze. While it was one of the first ghost stories to follow “Ring” (1998) and was actually playing a double-bill with [...]
