Kick it Up a Notch: A Look at STARSHIP
What ARE these Hideous Creatures?
I’ve developed something of a like/hate relationship with JJ Abrams‘ work in the past few years. I have not quite reached the point of acquiring any feelings of adoration for anything the man has done though I can acknowledge that his heart is most certainly in the right place. However, with his latest opus – [...]
When we think of horror films from the 1980′s, we usually think of the good storylines, awesome characters, and special effects. However, being the music lover that I am, the soundtracks are probably what stand out to me just as much as anything else. In fact, a lot of the soundtracks have introduced me [...]
From the beginning, The Bleeding House is a quirky and strange feature with a slow burn, methodical approach. This eventually gives way to something that is both startling and brutal. It’s like an orchestral movement that crescendos into one big gut punching finish. At the onset, we’re introduced to a family of four who’ve recently [...]
A doctor attempts a risky cure for his son’s Leukemia: Transplanting a gorilla heart into his chest. What results is an “Orgy of Terror!”
Jesus fuck, I hate this movie. Let’s get that out of the way right now so admirers of this can either start spewing hate at me in the comments and those unaware of the film at all, know where I stand. That said, “hate” may be too strong a word here. Vehemently dislike may be [...]
It seems like I’ve been waiting for Stake Land for at least two years now. The moment I laid eyes on the first trailer, I knew that this was the vampire film that I had been waiting on. It’s hard to be a fan of the sub-genre, as most things related have been terrible, especially [...]
1979 was the year. The Iran Oil Crisis was in full swing, Sony unveiled The Walkman, The Boomtown Rats were climbing up the charts, and a then beardless child was born who would go on to start The Blood Sprayer. 1979 was also the year that a young filmmaker named Abel Ferrara began upon his [...]
Let me first start off by saying that I think A Serbian Film is a fantastic, thought provoking film. When I first watched it upon its release, (a very close friend of mine got an imported version) I was not disgusted by the film (as many were) but unsure about how I felt. After thinking [...]
I was vaguely familiar with IWC Films before I turned on the current Tempe release of their two feature length movies, Die and Let Live and Raising the Stakes. Previously purchasing (and enjoying) the short-film compilations Faces of Schlock I and II, where IWC Films contributed two shorts, I had higher expectations for these films. I am happy to report that both movies on [...]
IFC Midnight brings the heat with both guns blazin’…
We interrupt your regular, gory programming to bring you the following review: Please, don’t adjust your browser- this is still the Bloodsprayer. Outrageous, funny, sexy, and not rated. This is the tag line that introduces you to Come Together. Based on this tag line and the bikini-clad cover photo, I was expecting an American Pie [...]
Thor, the latest blockbuster from Paramount and Marvel Studios, is the result of what happens when too many people have too much riding on a franchise opportunity: they spend so much time making sure it isn’t bad that they neglect to make it any good. Designed to stroke all of the right brain centers and [...]
Director: Justin Timpane Writer: Justin Timpane Starring: Jay Saunders, Daniel Ross and Cory Okouchi Tagline: None Release Date: May 2011 on DVD Official Site: www.ninjasvsvampires.com Sometimes it takes a certain perspective to be able to review an indie film… a special sense of disbelief if you will. Such was my experience with one of the [...]
The college that I am studying at here in Australia (University of Queensland) has a large multimedia library. The other day, after finishing a paper, I thought I would reward myself by going to the DVD shelves and seeing what films I could take out to view in my newly acquired free time. I perused [...]
