Who is the most frightening horror movie villain? Freddy Krueger? Nah. Jason Voorhees? No way. Michael Myers? Shaa--as if! It's actually a group of well-organized neo-Nazis. This has got to be one of the most brutal and intense movies I've seen in recent years. I heard it was extreme, but I was not prepared. A punk rock band is on the road living out…

I had higher hopes for this one than I probably should have. The weird thing is that I usually enjoy slow building, atmospheric movies a lot. The plot was both mysterious and intricate. The main story follows two girls at a Catholic boarding school before a holiday break. One girl struggling with the possibility of being pregnant and delays her parents' pickup by telling…

It was the late 90s and I had heard about this little indie science fiction horror movie about some people stuck inside a maze. When I watched it, I was amazed at the execution of such a simple concept and how it was both satisfying and unsettling. The basic premise is 5 people trapped inside some sort of massive Rubik's Cube from hell. They…

Terry O'Quinn (Lost's John Locke) is back as Jerry Blake the serial killer, having somehow survived the massive knife wound to the chest in the first movie. This movie starts with him in a maximum security asylum, which he breaks out of after murdering his psychiatrist and a guard. With a manhunt under way, Jerry travels from Washington state to Los Angeles where he starts…

I will admit I had really low expectations going into this one. I may have seen the first Slumber Party Massacre and it may have been terrible. The crazy thing is that this sequel was actually pretty entertaining, even though it is total schlock. The story follows Courtney (Crystal Bernard), who was a survivor of the first massacre and is plagued with nightmares involving death and…

A schoolteacher in New Orleans, Annie (Kelly Rowan), is haunted by the urban legend of Candyman in this sequel to the 1992 horror hit. Tony Todd reprises his role as the hook-handed Candyman, who murdered Annie's father at some point in the past. Her brother goes after an author who wrote a book about the Candyman murders, and ends up being framed for the…

They call this the start of a new classic horror series, but I'm not buying it. Sure, this movie spawned three sequels, but it's not exactly ground breaking. In New Orleans for Mardi Gras, a group of friends decide to take a haunted bus/swamp tour when things take a deadly turn. On the boat tour, they are told about a local legend involving a…

His new step-daughter Susan has a bad feeling about him and when things get too tense, he begins to setup his next target.

Roger Cobb (William Katt) is back from the first House movie, only to be killed off in the first 15 minutes in an awful car accident. His wife, Kelly (Terri Treas), and daughter move into the old family house, which is run down and looks haunted. You know, a typical fixer-upper. Of course, spooky stuff is going to start happening: monsters, blood from the shower…
