From the twisted mind of Rob Zombie comes this homage to Texas Chainsaw Massacre. A group of four road trippers happen upon a homicidal "family" that does all sorts of grotesque stuff to their victims. It's very violent and bloody disgusting, but the plot is pretty boring and recycled. There just isn't much that is memorable or engaging. Aside from a couple little jump…
Written by Stephen King and directed by George A. Romero, this classic horror anthology has some truly memorable scares. Stephen King played the simple-minded farmer Jordy Verrill who found a meteor that made everything sprout alien plant life. Leslie Nielsen showed up as a vindictive husband who became homicidal after finding out his wife was having an affair. Best of all was the monster…
In the middle of a hurricane in Florida, a girl goes searching for her father and gets a one way ticket to gator town. It's a race against time to escape both the coming storm and the hungry animals. It was a constant heart-pounding intense rollercoaster. I kept thinking it could have been really great if there weren't so many ridiculous parts. 90% of…

If a priest hangs himself in a cemetery, does the zombie apocalypse begin? Mayyyyybeeeeee. More Italian horror from the great Lucio Fulci. The early 80s were a wonderful time to be an Italian filmmaker, because nobody gave a shit if you ripped off everything else that had come before. We'll just be nice and say it was more of an homage to George Romero…
A farmer and his sister run a motel and smoked meats business. The flavor of his meats come from the secret ingredients. The movie felt a lot like Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It was mostly just disturbing and never really that scary. There were a couple fun parts, but mostly, it never had a clear vision of what it wanted to be. Horror, suspense, and…

Rebecca lives on her own and her brother Martin lives with their mother, Sophie, who seems a bit cuckoo.

There is a special place in my heart for Italian horror films. No matter how bad they are, I have always enjoyed the boldness and cohesiveness with the elements on display. With Stage Fright (a.k.a. Deliria), there is no exception. The story consists of a group of actors rehearsing for their opening of a stage musical performance about a serial killer when an actual…
