The Toybox (2005) Movie Review
Oh unbounded joy, another low-budget British horror DVD presents itself to me for review. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love watching and reviewing movies, and I am a big advocate of British cinema, but if you’ve ever endured films like “The Witches Hammer” then you’ll excuse me for being a little jaded. “The Toybox” [...]

Had “Grindhouse” been made by some up and coming neophyte filmmaker it would’ve been cut to shreds by the critical establishment. But the critical blank check given to Robert Rodriguez, and especially Quentin Tarantino is cashed in at this grindhouse, which is a very mediocre attempt to play with exploitation fire without getting burned. The [...]

The Grindhouse was a sub-genre of exploitation films that were generally deemed too extreme and cheap for the mainstream, and there wasn’t much genre segregation with regards to what got heaped into this pile. The only qualifications were that it had to be strange, violent and of poor quality. Everything from Herschell Gordon Lewis’ ‘pioneering’ [...]

It is not every day you get to visit with a two-time Academy Award winner. By all accounts, Hilary Swank is just as down to Earth and approachable in person as she appears to be in her films. She is the quintessential girl next door (although I must say that if I lived next door [...]

A horror gem by the writing and directing team behind “Howard The Duck”? Hard to believe, but this is the genuine article, a largely forgotten early ’70s classic filled with moments that are so uncanny, the term “Lynchian” would be perfect had the David Lynch brand been invented in 1972. Available under your title of [...]

Alternate Earth stories have been around in literary form forever, and comic books have similarly taken advantage of the vast creative space offered by the endless possibilities inherent in building a completely new world, while still grounding its foundation in the familiar. In the ’90s, DC comics had a successful run with their alternate Earth [...]

The horror genre seems to be at a crossroads these days. Following the whole post-modern “Scream” cycle, the long haired ghosts from Japan and the final deluge of bind, torture, and kill films initiated by the release of “Saw”, there seems to be a clear confusion as to where to go next. Normally, the next [...]

“The Hitchhiker”, not to be confused with the big-budget Hollywood remake of the cult ’80s thriller “The Hitcher”, was produced by an independent movie company called The Asylum, who has been responsible for a slew of pictures that numbers, on a slow year, 8 titles a year. Our copycat of a film concerns a man [...]

“One Day Suddenly” is a collection of four horror films put together and produced by top Korean genre director Ahn Byung Ki, the man who was himself responsible for terrifying audiences with the blockbuster hits “Phone”, “Bunshinsaba” and the recent “APT”. The four films are all based upon works by Yoo Il Han, and were [...]

The freedom and accessibility of digital video has unleashed a tidal wave of unwatchable horror movies by directors who would have difficulty chronicling a birthday party, let alone a cinematic narrative. This army of camcorder auteurs is seriously giving Ed Wood a run for the money, not to mention making Uwe Boll look like Stanley [...]
