If the first film in this series was “respectable schlock” this one was just pure schlock, and the series itself was still in the midst of finding its niche. Friday the 13th Part 2 is as straight of a by the numbers slasher flick as you could imagine. The introduction of the Jason Voorhees character… Continue reading Friday The 13th Part 2 Review

Friday The 13th Review
I recently bought the entire F13 series on the cheap in several 5 dollar DVD double features, and the wife and I have been watching a couple every week. It is interesting now watching these movies that I used to stay up late watching as a kid. These movies were designed to be seen on… Continue reading Friday The 13th Review
Christine Review
Sometime in high school I read the Stephen King novel ‘Christine’ that this movie was based upon, and I really dug it. This movie for the most part faithfully follows the novel, cutting out a few things, and combining a character or two for the sake of brevity. Christine is a 1958 red and white… Continue reading Christine Review
Killer Klowns from Outer Space Review
This is my wife’s favorite movie, so perhaps I should let her review it. Alright, never mind, she says that’s my job, but I will try to write this in her spirit, like one of those authors “writing in the style of…” whoever. The basic story here is all in the title, a group of… Continue reading Killer Klowns from Outer Space Review
Outlast Review
Horror influenced video games walk a very fine line within the video game industry. There are in an essence one of two ways that things can play out. You can attempt to be scary which in itself is tricky do for the sole fact of creating an outright scary atmosphere within the realm of a… Continue reading Outlast Review
You’re Next Review
I had been hearing about this film for quite some time. Having made its run of the festival circuits in 2011 to a pretty good response I was surprised to see it take close to two years to get it's theatrical release. Though with Wingard and Barrett's involvement with the well received horror anthology V/H/S/,… Continue reading You’re Next Review
Sleepy Hollow Review
Based on Washington Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” with a few poetic liberties, Sleepy Hollow puts a modern spin on the legendary tale of horror. Rather than his original role as a school teacher, Ichabod Crane (Depp) is now an investigator from New York sent to investigate murder in the farming community of Sleepy… Continue reading Sleepy Hollow Review
Sleepwalkers Review
What a painfully bad movie this is. Who wrote this crap? Stephen King took credit for this? You’re kidding me? The same guy that wrote shit like Misery, The Shining, Carrie, and The Green Mile? What did who do wrong here? Basically what we have, is these two people, a mother and son. Only they… Continue reading Sleepwalkers Review
Dead Space 3 Review
The third and final installment in the Dead Space game series, or at least as far as Isaac Clarke's story arc goes, is upon us and it doesn't disappoint. I'll say upfront: If you're a fan of this series you'll be very happy with this game and if you never cared about the series there's… Continue reading Dead Space 3 Review
Robot Monster Review
I… I don’t even know where to begin. I could feel the brain cells dying. Is Robot Monster worthy of this series? Yes, because it is a classic. Made in 1953, Robot Monster is a classic example of a bad movie. Not just bad, but downright horrible. Why was this atrocity even filmed, let alone… Continue reading Robot Monster Review
