Pontypool (Review)

PontypoolPontypool (2009)Directed by Bruce McDonaldWhen you're me, you think you've seen every kind of horror film ever made. Especially when it comes to zombie films. So when I went to go see Pontypool, I figured I'd be seeing another variation of The Signal or Pulse or 28 Days Later. You know, that old run of the mill story of zombies hordes attacking stereotypical survivors trapped in a confined space.But I was shocked that Pontypool was a totally...

Unrated (Trailer)

I'd have to say my college years represented the golden era of when I watched horror movies religiously. I would scour the interweb looking for the most fucked up goriest horror movies ever made.So it's pretty fitting that I'd came across German goremeister Andreas Schnaas' Violent Shit trilogy and got hooked by the amounts of gore and splatter a little indie movie could hold.Schnaas has made a few others, most notably Nikos the Impaler and his newest...

Adam Green's "Fairy Tale Police" (Short Film)

I'm a subscriber of ArieScope's channel on YouTube, which is home to Adam Green's (Hatchet) collection of awesome shorts. I blogged about this short a while back, after seeing his recent short "Saber". then hopped onto Xbox live to view it.Well now the full version is on YouTube so you can all check it out without going onto Xbox Live.Starring the hot Rachael Leigh Cook and the Green regular Parry Shen, these cops "kick ass so you can happily live...

Colin (Trailer)

I first read about Colin and it's $70 shoestring budget on CNN which has a interesting article about the film and its UK director Marc Price. Now that its premiered at Cannes and is getting hype among the horror-sphere I am intrigued by the set up.It's a zombie film from the zombie's point of view.Now's that's different. But on the proverbial flipside of the coin is the thing I hate the most. From what I read it's got that Blair Witch/Cloverfield...

The Landlord (Review)

The LandlordThe Landlord (2009)Directed by Emil HydeA few months I posted up a trailer for a little indie horror-comedy flick called the Landlord. I recently got a screener of the flick and after my hectic schedule I got around to watching it.The thing about the horror comedies is that if you attempt to do one, you have to be ready to be compared to the ultimate horror comedy and that of course is Sam Raimi's Evil Dead trilogy. Especially the first...

My Favorite Scene from The Terminator

With Terminator Salvation coming out today I was going to write a Top 5 list with my favorite John Connor quotes.A few of my faves are:"Easy money." "Now who's the dipshit, you jock douchebag?"Don't take this the wrong way, but you are Terminator right?""No, no, no, no. You gotta listen to the way people talk. You don't say "affirmative," or some shit like that. You say "no problemo." And if someone comes on to you with an attitude you say "eat me."...

Murder Collection Volume 1 (Trailer)

The guys from Toe Tag Pictures are back. Fred Vogel, the sick mastermind that brought us the August Underground trilogy (I'm ashamed to admit this but I've seen all 3) are back with a new flick filled with fake snuff, mock executions and "real footage" of deathiness.Well this has got to be 10 years too late don't ya think?Sorta like Faces of Death with some Mondo Cane-ness, from the reviews I've read, the kills look mega realistic. This is of course...

Top 5 80s Horror Movies Hollywood Might Actually Think Would Be Good Remakes

With all the horror remake hell that's invaded screens of late, who knows what the fuck Hollywood will remake in the near future. Remember, Hollywood DOES NOT come up with new ideas anymore. They are actually like the New York Yankees. They either do the following (or sometimes they do both):1.) Remake an old, crappy, 80s horror movies (similar to the NYY buying old, has been players and overpaying them)2.) Remake an independent, foreign or surprise...

Thicker Than Water: The Vampire Diaries Part 1 (Review)

Thicker Than Water: The Vampire Diaries Part 1Thicker Than Water: The Vampire Diaries Part 1 (2008)Directed by Phil MessererFuck zombies.With all the Twilight hoopla and Let the Right One In, I predict a big renaissance in the vampire genre. But you won't see this in Hollywood in a big BOOM overnight.Where you will see it is the college radio station world of independent horror.Mark my words.

Dollhouse "Omega" (TV Review)

Well this is it. The last episode of Dollhouse for this season.....or *gasp* ever. It's been fun reviewing the show for UGO.com.As I sit here hoping Dollhouse gets picked up for a 2nd season, I don't know why this show never picked up steam among the masses.It's a good show, with a cyberpunk scifi-ness to it and filled with quirky dialogue, hot women and kick ass action.But I guess that wasn't enough.The finale was sort of lacking any oooomph. It...

Top 37 Hottest Women of Star Trek

Yowsers. Well ain't that a picture worth a million words.That is of course the naked backside of the hot Jolene Blalock who played T'Pol in Star Trek: Enterprise.I will admit, I am a part time Trekkite. I've actually watched only a handful of the Original Series. I got into Star Trek by watching the Next Generation.But to me, Star Trek Deep Space Nine is almost as good as the reimagining of Battlestar Galactica (Ronald Moore was the exec producer...
