Screwballs (DVD Review)

Screw BallsScrew Balls (1983)Directed by Rafal ZielinskiIt's the grandfather of the balls comedy.I'll be honest, I was a wee lad when Screwballs came out in 1983. When I hit my teens, I rented all the classics: Fast Times, Last..Virgin, Porkys, Private School, etc. The one thing about video rental stores back then (mine was called Flagship Video) was that they'd rent anything to anybody.So disgruntled video store employees let me rent the sicko horror...

The 5 Types of Moviegoers who Watch Horror Movies

After going to watch a movie theater this past weekend, I wanted to talk about what's it like to go see a movie.

These are just things that happen to all of us, and it just fucks shit up.First, I'll start off with a list of people who annoy the fuck out of me when I got to a movie in a theater. These are the people who need to be boiled...

The WTF List: District 9 Edition

There are times when a movie gets hyped so much, you really start asking is this movie actually going to live up to it? Well, District 9 is one of those movies. I went in clean when I saw this movie. I did not read any reviews, only watched the trailer and had no idea what the aliens really looked like. And what did I discover?District 9 is an outstanding, awesome flick that does not disappoint.I was blown away by the story, the believable characters...

Forgotten Horror Hottie: Lindy Booth

Her Horror Resume: Skulls II, American Psycho II, Wrong Turn, Cry Wolf, Dawn of the Dead (remake)The Jaded Viewer says: I have a thing for redheads. And Lindy Booth is the perfect redhead. Her big horror billing was not her playing a final girl, but more of a wicked and twisted vixen in Cry Wolf. She was victim fodder in Wrong Turn and zombie fodder in Dawn of the Dead.Lindy Booth is smokin hot and as the pictures below prove, she makes any outfit...

The WTF List: G.I. Joe Edition

As I am a child of the 80s, it was 100% certain that I was going to see G.I. Joe. So when I did, I went in with low low low expectations. But that won't stop me from giving you a list of WTF moments I had while watching this flick. It was inevitable that if you grew up watching the 80s cartoon and reading some of the comics, you'd be scratching your head and cursing a mile a minute.I don't like reviewing mainstream Hollywood films so this is similar...

5 Horror Movies that shaped my horror psyche

I had what you would call a regular horror childhood. Raised on your standard eggs, bacon and Friday the 13ths and Nightmares, it's the same ole story you've heard all before.But it wasn't until I met Insano Steve in college and the beginnings of the Internets did I get more of a horror education. Faster than you could say "boobies", the internet sprung to life with porn sites with a degree of nastiness.But with free web space like Geocities and...

The Tournament (Official Full Trailer)

I posted a test trailer for The Tournament in May, 2008. It's been removed obviously by now but it looked fuckin awesome. So it's odd that over a year later, we finally get to see the official trailer for this seemingly awesome action fest.So what all the hype-o-palooza all about?Here's the plot.Every 7 years in an unsuspecting town, The Tournament takes place. A battle royale between 30 of the world’s deadliest assassins. The last man standing receiving...

Stake Land (Teaser Trailer)

The one thing I do is try to support the NYC indie horror scene as best I can. Sometimes it means promoting some friend's friend horror flick. But the name that has become synonymous within NYC horror is Larry Fessenden.Fessenden Glass Eye Pix has produced some of the more interesting horror flicks that have come out. And now he is producing Jim Mickle's new movie Stake Land. Mickle first hit the horror radar with his After Dark Horrorfest flick...

Anthony Zuiker's Level 26: Dark Origins (The First Ever DigiNovel)

I got an e-mail about Level 26 and semi dismissed it has more web serial nonsense. But ironically, after reading an article in a business magazine about Anthony Zuiker and his innovative "digi-novel" concept, I became uber intrigued by it all. It encompasses everything I like in my entertainment.I like to read.I like interactive social networking sites.I like web serial videos with a twist.Level 26 combines all these elements into a cohesive experiment...

G.I. JOE: Cold Slither (A Forgotten Classic Joe Episode)

"Cold Slither, you'll be joing us soon. A band of vipers playin' a tune."You've probably seen the movie by now (I haven't yet) and are now researching the shit out of the old GI Joe episodes. There a ton of classic episodes from the series I watched (G.I.

Zombieland (Exclusive "Rules" Clips)

Well I may not be the biggest proponent of the horror comedy big budget productions coming from Hollywood, but I'll admit Zombieland looks damn funny. It may be the USA's answer to Shawn of the Dead.Starring Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg and a list of up and coming Hollywood hotties (Emma Stone and Amber Heard) and directed by Ruben Fleischer, it seems zombies aren't deader as dead yet after the vampire boom.Here be the plot.

The Thread: What was the Worst of Freddy's demises?

Son of 1000 maniacs! Son of 1000 maniacs! Son of 1000 maniacs!I think I may be the only one who's obsessed with the way slashers get killed at the end of the movie. Because the thing is, after the slasher goes through the motions of slaughtering young, helpless teenagers and getting everything thrown at him to stop his murderous rampage, sometimes the slasher's death becomes really anticlimactic (see the end of Friday the 13th Part VIII)The one series...

A Perfect Getaway (Review)

A Perfect GetawayA Perfect GetawayDirected by David TwohyWell I've watched most of the movies made in the "tourist hell vacation" subgenre of horror. I know you've seen them too.Turistas, The Ruins, Hostel, Wolf Creek, Open Water, Splinter, Donkey Punch.There are a ton more that I haven't mentioned but you get the point. So it would be interesting to see what we'd get when Pitch Black director David Twohy, teamed up with Steve Zahn (It's the guy...
