Here he sat down with GRUESOME MAGAZINE to talk about […]
This year has already brought one film that dealt with artificial intelligence and robotic constructs that can pass for human, Ex Machina. Quite honestly, I wasn’t quite as enthusiastic about that film as most everyone else in the universe was; just not my bag. So when I was tasked with watching Uncanny, and I found […]
A motley group of restaurant employees are taken hostage and tortured by the a trio of cannibals that really know their pop culture references in Gravy, the latest in a mild run of horror comedies to get released in the last few weeks. What separates this one from the others is its eclectic cast, and […]
Sid Haig’s career in acting began in 1960 when he appeared in legendary cult film director Jack Hill’s student film at UCLA (The Host). That film launched (what is now) a 55 year stretch in which Sid has appeared in memorable films like The Devils Rejects (2005), some that weren’t as memorable like Beware! The […]
After hearing so much about Hellions, the latest film from director Bruce McDonald (Pontypool), I found myself totally stoked to sit down and experience what I hoped would be a really good movie. But what I watched was neither very good or very bad, it sat uncomfortably in cinematic purgatory, where polarizing flicks retire to […]
Tuesday, October 20th saw the world premiere of directors Kevin and Michael Goetz’ long awaited remake of the French “New Wave Of Horror” classic, Martyrs! The original 2008 release, directed by Pascal Laugier, is still noted for its absolute and unforgiving brutality. Upon its original release, the film turned both heads and stomachs as it […]
Perhaps better known as a novelist, S. Craig Zahler ia an award-winning writer with novels like A Congregation Of Jackals (2010) and Wraiths of the Broken Land (2013), among others, to his credit. He’s also known as Czar, the singer/lyricist/drummer for a heavy metal band called Realmbuilder and he performed the same duties earlier in […]
Taking place right where Contracted left off, Contracted: Phase 2 is the latest example of a needless sequel that pretty much craps all over the original film. As C2 (I’m calling it “C2” from here on) opens, the situation Samantha (Najarra Townsend) found herself in is quickly resolved with a few well placed bullets, but […]
Using the framework of John Carpenter’s classic Assault On Precinct 13 (1976) as a template, Writer/Director Anthony DiBlasi’s Last Shift reshapes that framework into a surprisingly scary supernatural tale. Set in a near abandoned police station, it tells the story of a rookie police officer, Jessica (Juliana Harkovy) who reports to duty at a police […]
When I first got wind of Turbo Kid, I wasn’t all too impressed. After reading a synopsis of it, I was pretty sure that it was going to be something for the kiddies. I had no interest whatsoever in watching what sounded like a Power Ranger/Kamen Rider clone. I even turned down an offer to […]
Attack On Titan takes place in an unspecified future, a future in which humanity has been beset upon by a race of humanoid giants known as “Titans”. These beings are (as their name implies), much larger than normal humans and feed one one thing – us! But after a prolonged struggle some 100 years […]
