A rotted corpse named Igor, who talks with a Rod Serling voice, rises from his grave to tell three tales of terror. Since it’s a 3-D movie (which I saw in 2-D unfortunately), he also hurls things at the audience on occasion (including his own head). Meanwhile two teams of vultures look on and make lame wisecracks. (One team imitates The Three ( Read more... )

Here’s another anthology horror flick done on a micro-budget. As is the case with most of these things, it’s pretty uneven. However, there are some cool moments along the way ( Read more... )

Four friends gather at a cabin in the woods for a reunion. They sit around on the sofa and reminisce about the good old days. After they get done playing catch-up, they relate four stories of terror to one another ( Read more... )

The Centerfold Girls is a great, surprising, and nasty ‘70s exploitation movie. You can’t get much more ’70s than Andrew Prine, Aldo Ray, and Tiffany Bolling in one movie. It has a terrific set-up, an irresistible hook, and several unexpected plot twists. Plus, it also features an amazing amount of nudity. Seriously, a nubile female takes her ( Read more... )

The ABCs of Death is an ambitious, yet flawed anthology horror film that is undone by its own unwieldy premise. 27 different directors were hired to helm 26 short (about five minutes long) horror vignettes, each starting with a different letter. To say that the results are “uneven” is a gross understatement. But to call the movie “gross” is a ( Read more... )

Here’s the sequel to the Found Footage anthology horror movie, V/H/S. It suffers from a feeling of “more of the same” that plagues the Found Footage genre. But thanks to a shorter running time and a heaping of gore, it goes down smooth enough, I suppose ( Read more... )

I’m a sucker for anthology horror movies. However, I have a strong distain for the “found footage” genre. V/H/S blends the two together with middling results ( Read more... )

Peter Fonda has been one of my favorite actors for about as long as I can remember. From his work for Roger Corman in the ‘60s, to his stellar drive-in films of the ‘70s, to the quirky character work he did in independent films in the ‘90s, Fonda is always a joy to watch. Today, we’ll look at three films from the man’s long and varied career ( Read more... )

Harve (Fargo) Presnell stars as a low budget horror movie director who tries to entertain some dinner guests by telling them scary stories. The first tale (**) is about a hitman who tries in vain to get rid of a bomb. This story has a cool scene where he reels his victims in by using a tape recording of their spouse’s voice, but the actual twist ( Read more... )

Ever since I rented Heathers for the first time as a teenager, Christian Slater has been my boy. Throughout the years, Slater has starred in some classics like Pump Up the Volume, True Romance, and 3000 Miles to Graceland. Recently, he’s been carving out a nice niche for himself in the DTV market, while still finding time to star in TV shows ( ( Read more... )
