Rage (2010) Review

Rage (2010) Review

Sometimes the simplest approach to making a movie tends to be the best, especially when making low budget films. Rage is a perfect example of less being more, and in return you get a very entertaining thriller well worth your 90 minutes.

The Summer of Massacre (2011) Review

The Summer of Massacre (2011) Review

Rarely at the Blood Sprayer do I have the opportunity to review a movie with a Guinness World Record, but Joe Castro’s latest The Summer of Massacre holds just that distinction. He didn’t just go for any typical world record, but one us horror fanatics can get behind 100%, and that is “most onscreen kills!” [...]

Facing Fear: A Look at Michael Soavi’s Stage Fright

When I found out that we were doing a 2nd Italian Horror Week here at The Blood Sprayer, I really wasn’t sure what I wanted to write about at first. Last year, I wrote an article on Lamberto Bava’s Demons since I consider it to be my favorite Italian horror film. It wasn’t until Michael Soavi’s Stage Fright [...]

Long Live Rock ‘n’ Roll: My Favorite Bands from Lesser Known Horror Films of the ’80s

When we think of horror films from the 1980′s, we usually think of the good storylines, awesome characters, and special effects.

What The “F” (2010) A Review

With the buzz flying around the interwebs for the film “F”, I was almost afraid to watch it. I hate watching films that have been hyped up to the point that they can’t live up to your expectations. I particularly enjoy going in to films with no expectations, as even if it’s a bad flick, [...]
