REVIEW:
Prince of Darkness (1987), one of Carpenter’s more darker films, of which one would assume a vampire king of sorts, actually refers to Satan and his darker leader. Darker leader?

“Altered States”

REVIEW:
I am SUCH a nerd! Although no one has the chutzpah to actually come out and call The Black Saint a nerd, I’ll admit to it with something close to a smile on my face. I have watched every one of the “Superhero” movies released over the last… More

So while I can’t deny the quality or appeal of films like Planet Of The Vampires (1965), Count Yorga Vampire (1970), Vampyres (1974) or Shadow Of The Vampire (2000), I can only count it down to thirty.… More

I never expected the “Underworld” franchise to get this far. After the 2nd one I truly expected any further entries in the series to go straight to video, despite the success of the series. But much like the “Resident Evil” franchise (Which I thought… More
Film Review: Shock Labyrinth (3D) (2009)
A group of teenagers take a sick to a hospital only to find out it is a horrific labyrinth
REVIEW:
Director – Takashi Shimizu
Starring – Yuya Yagira, Ai Maeda, Misako Renbutsu

Film Review: Chronicle (2012)
Three high school friends gain superpowers after making an incredible discovery. Soon, though, they find their lives spinning out of control and their bond tested as they embrace their darker sides.
REVIEW:
Found footage style cam has gotten inventive. “Chronicle” is the latest in this style that while using the trademark “carry-a-camera-around” look and feel is actually a bigger budget extravaganza. “Chronicle” manages to instill a sense of super heroism, action, and scifi into… More

Little kids suck.

Film Review: Hidden 3D (2011)
SYNOPSIS:
The English-language horror/thriller is about an abandoned experimental medical center that harbors a deadly secret. It only becomes known when a restoration project begins.
REVIEW
I’m always taken aback when a film is titled with 3D tagged on the back end. The version I have is 2D but is very apparent that there were several shots that were intended to …well …..pop out in 3D. With that tidbit aside, really what we… More

They have an all-you-can-eat buffet… More
