movie review

Movie reviews for horror fans; from gruesome bone-chillers to dark horror thrillers, a showcase for frightful films that seek to entertain and to terrify.

Comparison: 'Cell' vs. 'Zombieland'
Unconventional genre Zombieland is a comedy. It sort of misses the point of the original zombie film genre (our world and civilisation could crumble with a bite or two). But it's a whole-lot of friggin' fun (dah—there's a Bill Murry cameo!), and it does touch on consumerism as a pattern of bad behaviour... so, yeah—in a roundabout way—there's something political or semi-philosophical in this comical rendering of the original chomp film genre.

Chance the Rapper Goes Dark for 'Slice'
American movie goers can count on a few things every Fall. The days will get shorter, the winds will get colder, and the horror movies will be out in force. The cinematic gods have decreed that the annual slew of horror movies that follows the summer blockbuster cycle be particularly robust, both in terms of quality and cost of quantity. Audiences can rest assured that the requisite number of ghouls, witches, and werewolves will be present, especially in the movie Slice.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Lovely Molly' (2011)
Ehh, erm... uhhhh... yeah I can give it a pass. I have to admit, it took me a couple of attempts to get all the way through this movie. However, something kept pulling me back to give it another shot. And while it may have taken four overall sittings, I have to admit, it was at least interesting.

My Review of 'Overlord'
I had a lot of hesitation when I first heard the concept of Overlord. The movie trailers was typical of World War II movies where soldiers are in combat in France fighting Nazi's. This one had a twist when they added zombies to the mix.

Movie Review: 'The Mysterious Death of Johnny Thunders' Exploits a Cult Legend
Room 37 The Mysterious Death of Johnny Thunders has a high ick factor. A speculative horror movie about the final days of former New York Dolls guitarist Johnny Thunders, played by Leo Ramsey, Room 37 leaves good taste well behind with its very premise. Leering and sweaty, Room 37 The Mysterious Death of Johnny Thunders opts for ugly, unfounded speculation over anything remotely accurate about what may have happened to the mercurial rock star.

'Peelers' - A Review (Netflix)
Ladies and gentleman, we have a contender. I have watched a lot of terrible films on Netflix, mostly—I tell myself—to review them. There is, of course, a perverse joy in watching terrible films, but there are some films that test even yours truly’s capacity for awful.

'Primal Rage: The Legend of Konga' (2018)
So you’re telling me right here,right now to my face,that you actually believe there’s an Oh-Mah out there? Admittedly, Primal Rage certainly won’t win the prize for the most original film. And there are some pain points to be found in this B-film. But to my surprise, I liked this movie anyway. The well-known theme about an unknown creature hiding in the woods, and racking up random victims. Take Animal, and add some Predator elements to it, and you can already imagine what you get presented. It’s hardly surprising that you’ll think of these films, because Patrick Magee, director of this low-budget horror film, was also involved in the SEs of Alien vs. Predator. He wisely applied the experience he gained there.

'The Haunting of Sharon Tate' - A Review (Netflix)
The B-roll of Los Angeles at night is quite good, and the title cards are accurate. These are the only positives I can find in the absolute abomination that is passing itself off as a film, The Haunting of Sharon Tate. Everything about the man behind the camera and story and script, Daniel Farrands’– I refuse to call him a filmmaker, director, or writer on the strength of this–project, is bad.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Blood Glacier' (2013)
Ehh, it was kinda cute. It might have actually been an okay movie if it wasn't for the down right abysmal English dubbing. Does anyone remember the original Resident Evil? not the movie, the video game for the Playstation. Remember the just AWFUL dialogue they dubbed into that video game? Yeah, that's pretty much the standard you should expect in this movie, at least the English dubbed version of the movie. But you know? It’s actually kind of cute. It pushes this movie from bad to good-bad.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'The Mothman Prophecies' (2002)
I did like this movie, though it’s not without its problems. It was a worthy attempt at being cerebral horror, and while I did find it lacking, this movie walked the very thin line between paranormal and madness. I wasn’t sure if I could recommend this movie at first, but over time it grew on me. I really grew to appreciate its presentation.
