Isle of the Damned (Review)

Isle of the Damned Isle of the Damned (2008)Directed by Mark ColegroveSometimes the legends get parodied into oblivion.Think about it. George A. Romero, the living legend maestro of zombie films made a half ass zombie pseudo diary flick while in comparison zombie horror comedies are scoring hit after hit.The same can be said about the cannibal genre. Before his death, Italian Ed Wood, Bruno Mattei was generating badly made homage after homage to...

3D Eyeballs are FRAKIN cool

Do you remember the scene above? It was in Friday the 13th Part 3: 3D. Jason squeezes some poor schmuck's head and his eyeball goes flying out in 3D gooeyness.C'mon, you know it. It's the fuckin most memorable scene in Part 3. Besides the harpoon, the flaming iron, the yo yo and the stick.I believe Part 3 is one of the best of the series. He gets his mask, the kills are all set up to be in gratuitous 3D and we get the "last scare" ending. Good times....

Rewind: Man Bites Dog (Trailer)

I've been watching horror movies for well over 20 years. And I went through a big indie movie period as a teenager where I wanted to see totally obscure flicks...sorta going all Jarmuschy.One of the flicks that sticks with me is a French horror-omedy called Man Bites Dog.Shot in a docustyle, it follows a serial killer named Ben who has a camera crew documenting his life.It's so disturbing and sick and fuckin revolting, that you want to watch more.This...

Leif Jonker's Darkness (Review)

DarknessDarkness (1993)Directed by Leif Jonker[review was originally at Aylmer's Grisly Grimey Page of Unspeakable Horror, circa 1999]Darkness has a tagline "Even the dead will scream". For the people who've watched this film it should go "The Alive will laugh". Darkness is a low budget, amateurish vampire gorefest by Leif Jonkers. So with a name like that you'd expect it to be good.It's not all that bad if you view it under the constraints and guidelines...

Tokyo Gore Police (Review)

Tokyo Gore PoliceTokyo Gore Police aka Tôkyô zankoku keisatsu (2008)Directed by Yoshihiro NishimuraI made a mistake. The Machine Girl ended up as #7 on my Top 10 Horror Movies of 2008. Tokyo Gore Police should be there instead.Actually it should probably be in the top 5. But alas, what's done is done. I can't go ahead and change the list. I mean I'm one of those people that once its posted, its set in stone.Let's just have TGP and Machine Girl...

End of the Line (Review)

End of the Line End of the Line (2006)Directed by Maurice DevereauxI think I found the new trend in horror movies. Not zombies, or remakes or something French. Nope.It's horror movies that take place on a train.Mark my words. 2009 will be filled with killers on trains that attack people.We've already got a taste of it with The Midnight Meat Train and a few others are coming out like Train and Stag Night.So it's important I get on the bandwagon and...

Toby Wilkins comments on Splinter review

"Splinter is a monumental achievement in indie horror done super duper right." Sometimes it's nice to hear that a director checks out what the horror fans are saying about their movies. It makes a nice connection between us and them and that there is a community that supports the filmmaker and vice versa.I like that. It makes me feel all anti-sad and stuff.I also like that Splinter's director Toby Wilkins liked my review. Because I really liked his...
