Forget the modern reboots for a second. Strip away the tangled timelines and the increasingly elaborate explanations for why Michael Myers just won’t stay dead .If you want to understand the moment early-80s horror changed gear, when the slow tension of the 70s gave way to the bloodier energy of the slasher boom, you have…

There are certain ways to sell a movie to me. You can have giant Cthulhu like monsters in it, you could mention that it is inspired by H.P. Lovecraft, or you could have a line in the trailer that states: “Oh wow, this is straight out of a fucking slasher movie.” The Daemon has all…

I love Grindhouse cinema and I make no bones about it. Whether it’s Pam Grier blowing drug dealers heads off with a shotgun in Coffy, or a bunch of rabid hippies guzzling down pints of claret in I Drink Your Blood, if it’s Grindhouse then it’s the right house for me. And that almost rhymed…

A quiet exploration of the difficult choices that must be made when the doctor has bad news, Lesions— Wait, no. That’s not what Lesions is at all, though one might be forgiven for thinking that it was going there for the first chunk of the movie (even with a titillating yet still somehow restrained opening…

Listen up, you beautiful band of gore-hounds and celluloid junkies. We need to talk about the red-headed stepchild of the Crystal Lake lineage. No, I’m not talking about the one where Jason takes a boat to Manhattan and spends eighty percent of the runtime on a floating bathtub. I’m talking about 1985’s Friday the 13th…

I’ve been saying it for ages: technology is evil as shit, and thanks to new trailer for the movie Capture, not only do I believe that more than ever, I’m also not going to get any sleep for about a week. When Abby (Kaitlyn Lunardi) learns that her birth parents died in 1994 and left…

18 seconds. That’s all the new teaser trailer for Dead Eyes is. 18 seconds. But in that 18 seconds it does more than enough to draw you in and make you want to see more. Maybe it’s the story – Sean and his fiancée, Grace, enter a remote forest to search for his missing father,…
