Zodiac (2007) Movie Review
David Fincher wants you to feel exhausted. He wants to show you how the interminable search for the Zodiac, a real-life California serial killer, chewed up the lives of three men who pursued him for more than a decade. Unfortunately, David Fincher is extremely good at his job. Clocking in at more than two and [...]

Although many viewers are understandably becoming less and less enthusiastic about the modern Asian ghost film, with the genre long having become the exclusive domain of murderous long haired female spectres, there is still plenty of room for innovation in the form, as demonstrated here by the excellent Thai horror “Dorm”. Directed by Songyos Sugmakana, [...]

“Night of the Bloody Apes” is a slice of schlock horror from 1968 which has long enjoyed a cult following, not least due to its high quotient of sex and violence, which actually led to the film being banned in the UK during the 1980s when it was listed as one of the dreaded ‘video [...]

“The Witches Hammer” is, in essence, a low-budget British take on the “babe with a blade” vampire movie formula. Over the last few years, the likes of the “Underworld” movies, “Ultraviolet” and “Bloodrayne” have all tried to lend a feminine edge to the vampire/martial arts sub-genre that “Blade” pioneered in 1998. The problem with this [...]

Mitch Gould, the writer of “The Devil’s Den”, was clearly watching the Robert Rodriguez-Quentin Tarantino 1996 collaboration “From Dusk Till Dawn” when he penned his script for “Den”. The two films are nearly identical in premise, with minor deviations to prevent (one presumes) a lawsuit by the producers of “Dawn”. The result of this cribbing [...]

When “Saw” came on the scene in 2004, it delivered a much-needed jolt to the limp body of American horror. Working with a relatively small budget, James Wan and Leigh Whannell created a visceral yet psychological character-driven horror movie, eschewing the generic slasher flicks and anemic Japanese ghost story remakes that plagued the industry. They [...]

“See No Evil” is a movie designed essentially to showcase WWE wrestler Kane. Proof of this comes about thirty seconds in, when “produced by WWE films” appears on screen. Oddly enough, “See No Evil” was also produced by Lionsgate, a company that has been fairly consistent in pushing some of the best American horrors to [...]

The 1930s were a terrible time in Spain. Mired in a vicious civil war that saw both Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia use Spain as a practice ground for WWII, the country descended into Fascist repression under Generalissimo Francisco Franco. Against this incendiary backdrop, we have Mexican director Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pan’s Labyrinth,” a visually [...]

A monster rises out of the Han River and attacks Seoul, South Korea like Godzilla armed with really good special effects. Bong Joon-ho, the director of the serial killer thriller “Memories of Murder”, follows that one up with this straight up monster flick, a thrilling popcorn selling horror movie in the tradition of “Jaws” that [...]

I would guess that by now most of you caught the frenetic commercials for this unique horror “fest” that appeared to be a scary new ride at Great Adventure. The fest played at only 500 venues across the United States from Friday November 17th to Tuesday the 21st. I originally planned on seeing all eight [...]
