SYNOPSIS: A sleepwalking teen straps a camera to himself and discovers a sinister family secret. REVIEW: Of all the horror subgenres, the most inconsistent one of them all is the werewolf film. There’s a handful of really great ones (THE HOWLING, AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, and GINGER SNAPS to name a few) but the mediocre and the garbage far …

No pork pies or scotch eggs for goddess Ishtar though – only the finest young women will do, chopped up to bits and dressed up as party food. Tasty.

SYNOPSIS: A clan of watermen capture a crew of sport fishermen who must then fight for their lives. REVIEW: As far as horror sub-genres go, I have never been particularly fond of torture p*rn. Oftentimes good story telling is neglected in favor or over-the-top gore and violence. While watching people get skinned alive is certainly cringe-worthy, I don’t think it …
