UNHINGED || Movie Review: <em>The House of the Devil</em>

UNHINGED || Movie Review: The House of the Devil

When I first heard about the The House of the Devil, my heart skipped a beat.  I thought, “This could be the movie!  This could save horror from the Michael Bays of the world!”  Naturally, I was excited.  I found the earliest opportunity to go see this apparent salvation of the horror genre.
The House of [...]

<em>Law Abiding Citizen</em> - What Did I Think?

Law Abiding Citizen - What Did I Think?

So many of you have gotten to see my video review of the film but now I can write a little more detail and thoughts of the film which stars Gerard Butler and Jaimie Foxx.
Law Abiding Citizen is a spectacular thriller combining the violent nature of revenge with the evoking emotion of deep, horrific loss. Certain elements [...]

Movie Review: <em>Paranormal Activity</em>

Movie Review: Paranormal Activity

My father called me a couple weeks ago and told me I had to see this new horror movie.  He told me that Paranormal Activity was an underground sensation that has been taking the country by storm.  Well, my dad is not particularly in the know, so I just ignored him.  Then I was checking [...]

New York Film Festival Review: Lars von Trier’s Antichrist

There is nothing I like more on a rainy New York Saturday than being emotionally abused by filmmakers. And so I set out to see Lars von Trier’s new film at the New York Film Festival (trailer below). I arrived early, afraid of the lines that plague film festivals, and for the first time in [...]

TIFF Report: <em>Whip-It!</em> Review

TIFF Report: Whip-It! Review

In Whip it, Ellen Page is Bliss Cavender - a quintessential Texas teen who competes in beauty pageants to please her overbearing mother (Marcia Gay Harden) until she joins a local roller derby league. Based on the book “Derby Girl” by Shauna Cross (she also wrote the screenplay), the film shows much triteness; the richness [...]

Movie Review: <em>Sorority Row</em>

Movie Review: Sorority Row

Dario Argento once said that he preferred to murder beautiful women on screen, that it gave him more pleasure.  And I have to say, as much as it pains me to do so, that I kind of agree.  I would rather eliminate the beautiful women of the world so there’s room for people like me.  [...]

Movie Review: <em>Carved: The Slit Mouthed Woman</em>

Movie Review: Carved: The Slit Mouthed Woman

By: Melissa B. Yearian
I usually count on J-Horror to give me certain things: long dark hair, water, ghosts, evil children or women, etc.  I expect these things, and I am very rarely disappointed.  And while I might be one of the few J-Horror fans you’ll encounter who will say something like, “I think Takashi Miike is [...]

Before we jump into a review of Halloween II, let’s get some rumors and news out of the way.
