Saw IV Review 2008-10-16 07:19:01 Saw IV creates another staple in the Saw franchise, but this time around, things are more ridiculous than ever. However, that doesn’t mean that this movie isn’t scary or relevant, it just means you have to dig a little deeper to get anything out of it, besides disgust. The opening gore of this film is tremendous if you’re not used to horror movies. Even if you’re a casual fan, this opening
Saw The Ride, Really? 2008-10-15 15:53:44 I've had some heated arguments with people over the Saw franchise, and have defended the first film with such passion at times, that you would think that I made the movie. However, I'm an idiot, because all these arguments have gone for not...with the announcement of a rollercoaster named and styled after the Saw Franchise. Yep.I don't know what to say about selling out anymore...Saw V is coming,

More Scary Kids 2008-10-09 13:11:44 Alright folks, I've talked about Asian Horror films and the idea that kids are always victims in their movies, but now it's getting ridiculous. The new movie "The Unborn" seems to be pulling a fast one on us and it features a scary looking kid. This is more than just "Hide and Seek" or "The Omen", it seems to be coming out of the Michael Bay camp, and if you watch this trailer closely you'll see Read more:Scary
Joy Ride Review 2008-10-08 15:17:22 Joy Ride brings driving on the freeway to nightmare levels, but it’s not exactly a top ten contender at all.Joy Ride revolves around a group of friends on the open road. Lewis Thomas is on a road trip to pick up his girlfriend, meanwhile he stops off to pick up his brother, who happens to be fresh out of jail. All is good, and the two share friendly banter and things are going very smooth. Howev
Friday The 13th Part VI: Jason Lives Review 2008-10-07 14:39:21 The sixth film in the Friday
the 13th series is one of my personal favorites. The film is about Tommy (made famous in the previous effort “A New Beginning” by Corey Feldman), who wants to incinerate Jason
’s body so that he can never be brought back again. In the process a lightning bolt hits the grave and resurrects Jason! Tommy runs to the police and tries to convince them that Jason is at Read more:Lives
Constantine Review 2008-11-14 12:49:31 Hellblazer, the epic comic book series from Vertigo comics, gets a full film translation in this Keanu Reeves’ science fiction horror film. Constantine
is somewhat scary, but is more science fiction than true horror picture, but it does share some horrific scene’s and therefore it deserves a closer look. Constantine follows an anti-hero by the name of John Constantine, he’s a supernatural ex
Second Look: Believers Review 2008-11-12 12:10:56 Today I introduce to you a new on going series of writings that I will add to the site periodically. I am titling these "Second
Look" and I will take another look at previously reviewed films. The second time around I will focus not on the story and dvd as a whole but more over the tones and scary notions that I think of while watching the film or thinking about the film. These won't be as frequen Read more:Believers
Audition Review 2008-11-10 12:43:00 Asian cinema is making some insane movies, and they are so serious on their delivery. The U.S hasn’t made anything this creepy in the last 20 years and I’m glad to say that they haven’t remade this one just yet.Audition
follows a normal businessman who seeks a wife via an unorthodox search. He holds auditions to find an actress, but really what he is looking for is a new mate. The women come

The Fly Review 2008-11-06 16:30:03 The Fly is a slice of science fiction horror, and rightfully so, with its overt technological twist and clever acting by Jeff Goldblum, The Fly is quite scary and far fetched in 1986, but now? The Fly is about a scientist working on a teleportation device, who accidentally splices his dna code with that of a fly. He then slowly transforms into a super human, then digresses into a full sized fly! H
Primer Review 2008-11-05 07:39:01 Primer is a scary film that is often overlooked for it’s heavy dialogue and highly technical and heavy technology. The movie follows a group of tech workers who stumble upon a new way to time travel. They stumble across this and the story then goes through some odd situations but mostly involves a lot of dialogue and technical information that isn’t really scary on its own, but the greater pic
The Dead Zone Review 2008-11-03 13:36:29 The Dead Zone is a 1983 movie featuring a more serious Christopher Walken and provides a very scary story, if you allow yourself to stick with it, because it is another Stephen King slow burner. The movie surrounds a school teacher who finds himself in a car accident and sits in a coma. He then wakes up and 5 years have passed by and all of his former life situations have passed on and are differe
Month Death Toll October Edition 2008-10-31 12:27:21 This month's death toll wasn't the biggest, but it sure had some interesting views. I didn't really start getting too serious until "The Prestige" review where I started to contemplate these movies a little more than I should. It's a good thing, it makes me appreciate the art form a little more. Below are the movies reviewed in October
followed by a list and links to all the reviews I've done so f Read more:Edition

From The Mail Bag: Ted Bundy Edition 2008-10-30 14:09:36 Today I (sir jorge/don jorge) will answer a piece of "mail" which is really just a comment from one of my posts via an extended blog post. It's my way of giving back to the blog that provides me with so many great...oh nevermind. Jenn of HorrorQueen.today.com writes in regards to my review of Ted Bundy

Ted Bundy Review 2008-10-29 12:58:34 In 2002 Ted Bundy
came out and tried to chronicle the real life story of a man obsessed with sex and serial killing. Ted Bundy is a scary dvd, but more importantly was a scary individual to have running around our world. Ted Bundy tells the complete story and unflinching at times in its show of sexuality, and brutality, it seems at times to be a made for tv movie, but its over the top fascination
Rest Stop 2: Don't Look Back Review 2008-10-28 13:24:28 Rest Stop 2 is a sequel to a much better, much scarier straight to dvd film entitled Rest Stop. For the sake of sanity, I’m not even going to try to fit this into my “why is this scary” review format, and am just going to come out swinging, as this movie deserves every bit of the fight that I want to give to this piece of crap horror film. Rest Stop: Don’t Look Back starts out kind of inte Read more:Rest Stop
Saw V Review 2008-10-27 13:34:48 This weekend I did the unthinkable, I went to see Saw V in the movie theater. I read a lot of reviews when I got home and everyone that claimed to be a horror movie fan seemed to take a dump on this film. I beg to differ. The latest edition of Saw isn’t as bad as people say. Saw V doesn’t suck as bad as people think. The story revolves around two detectives. One detective from Saw IV (who now
The Blair Witch Project Review 2008-10-24 13:24:31 When I was younger I would easily get scared at horror movies. The BlairWitchProject
scared me the first time, but once it was out on video and dvd, it really lacked the punch that it had when I first saw it. I revisited the movie, just because I thought there was some value to it still, and you know what? It still holds up very well, although the “Book of Shadows” is a horrible encounter wi
Silent Night Deadly Night 2 Review 2008-12-08 15:35:19 In 1987 a sequel was put out entitled “SilentNight
Deadly Night Part 2” and fans of the first film flocked to see it. Well, maybe not in theaters, but definitely on home video. I know I did, and boy were most people upset with this one. I personally credit this film to one of my earliest visions of sex on film as I was hitting puberty when I managed to get an old vhs copy of this film, and we
Second Look: Silent Night Deadly Night 2008-12-05 11:29:12 We previously took a second look at the movie “The Believers”, this time we are going to take a second look at the movie SilentNight
Deadly Night as a part of our on going December 08 theme of “Holiday Horror”. So without further ado, here is a second look at Silent Night Deadly Night. Silent Night Deadly Night has a simple story, it is the story of a young boy who is so traumatized by Sa Read more:Second
Holiday Horror Month 2008-12-03 11:25:05 This month, considering there is so much focus on Christmas, I’m going to be reviewing holiday terror from now until the end of the month! That’s right, this month, for the rest of the month each movie will be a holiday horror movie, and yes, it is cliché of sorts. I thought about it, and wasn’t going to do this, but considering that this site has never had a holiday horror month, and it is Read more:Holiday

Monthly Death Toll: November Edition 2008-12-01 12:04:22 Alright, so the last month wasn't the most prolific time for this blog. I've been writing a little lengthier and trying to aim for about 3 posts a week so that people have time to digest some of the outlandish things I'm writing. Here is how it all went down in November
, and the total of films rises too. Not too bad eh? This December I'm cooking up something, and I'll reveal that on Wednesday, for Read more:Edition

I Still Buy Horror VHS 2008-11-26 09:54:00 I’m still on vacation, and probably won’t be posting another solid review until the first of December sometime. I did want to take a few moments to tell you about the great finds that await those of you out there that aren’t snobby about how you get your horror movies. I for one am a true lover of horror movies and like to purchase them often, even if the format isn’t dvd or blu-ray. Case
Silver Bullet Review 2008-11-24 07:06:01 One of the worst things about horror are adaptations of Stephen King books, short stories, and novellas. No one really gets it right, and while I don’t think that there is a definitive greatest Stephen King movie list, I think that Silver
Bullet is a strong contender for one of the better adaptations, even if I’m alone in thing this sort of thing. Stephen King’s Silver Bullet is a scary were
From The Mailbag: Thanksgiving Edition 2008-11-21 11:41:17 Here we are past the mid point of the month and I hope that you are all having a good time reading these diatribes of mine. I am posting 3 times a week rather than 5 times a week so that I have more time to compile my thouhts on these reviews and give you more time to read them. I like posting 5 times a week but I feel that sometimes it gets lost with so much information throwing at you. So I hope Read more:Edition

Identity Review 2008-11-19 11:58:52 Identity has one of the worst premises in horror movie history. That is my opinion, don’t take it to the bank. I personally dislike anything to do with split personalities, recovered memory, or identity crisis endings. I don’t like them at all, but have always seemed to enjoy horror movies until the reveal. Identity, however, did something that I didn’t think could be done, they one upped th
The Last House on the Left Review 2008-11-17 15:36:33 The year was 1972 and a young Wes Craven put out a film that was deemed very scary for the times. It’s true, it was insanely scary for the time. So if we all jump into our time machine and visit 1972. Last House
on the Left is a scary movie but at times it doesn’t hold up that well. However, for this review I’m really going to try and fit my mind into the 1970’s rather than reviewing it in
