Saw this last night at midnight. OH. MAH. GAH. Here's the review I just posted on IMDB:

I just saw this at SIFF, and I absolutely loved it. There were parts where I laughed so hard I couldn't catch my breath. The script and direction by Glenn McQuaid are fantastic. I can't wait to see more from this talented young man. The performances make the ( Read more... )

Yay! My new debit card came in the mail today! So I instantly used it to buy tickets to three SIFF horror movies: Dead Snow, Deadgirl, and I Sell the Dead.

I've been hearing about Dead Snow for six months. It's a Norwegian movie about hot young skiiers vs. Nazi zombies. Zombie Nazis? I'm not sure what the proper word order should be there. But ( Read more... )

I saw the movie back in February during its limited theatrical release, and was floored. Damn. Best vampire movie  I ever saw. I immediately requested the book at the library. Evidently everyone else in the greater Seattle area did too, because as of last Friday, when I headed for Norwescon, it still hadn't 'arrived.

So I walk into the dealer's room ( Read more... )

In a fit of inertia, I watched an old episode of “Freddy’s Nightmares” on Chiller TV. If you don’t know, it was an 80’s spinoff TV show from the “Nightmare on Elm Street” movies. Freddy acted as the Cryptkeeper, introducing and closing the episodes. The production values were crap. The stories were sometimes lame, or incoherent, or both. However, ( Read more... )

It isn't often that you get exactly what you want. You order your favorite meal from your favorite restaurant, and something's overcooked. You pay for an expensive haircut, and it turns out an inch too short. You know what I mean.

Tonight, I got exactly what I wanted. (No, not that, you perverts.)

"Daniel," I say at about 10PM. "I think I'm going to ( Read more... )

Tonight was the first night of Horrorfest. The Varsity was playing a Korean film called “Voices,” “The Butterfly Effect 3”, and a Brit movie called “The Broken.” They were also playing “Let The Right One In,” but not as part of Horrorfest.

I saw “Voices” first. It was a fine piece of K-horror. A little less subtle than some of the Korean movies I’ ( Read more... )

While we were snowbound, I felt the overwhelming urge to watch splatter movies every chance I got. Which was, of course, whenever the kids were asleep. I managed to watch quite a few before the thaw.

First I watched some old favorites, like “Hellraiser," Hellraiser 2,” and “Dead Alive.” Then I watched “Bloodsucking Freaks,” which I had somehow ( Read more... )

Horrorfest, the horror film festival, starts on January 8th!

Yes, I know what I said last year. I said I probably wouldn't attend another Horrorfest, because it just wasn't worth the travel time and ticket money to see crappy movies I can rent six months later. But dude, it's at the Varsity in Seattle this year! THE VARSITY! So like a battered wife ( Read more... )

OKAY I haven't posted in awhile. Busy at work, busy at home, stressed out, caught a cold, wah wah wah somebody call the waaaaaaahmbulance.

Anyway. I saw a couple of movies. The first was the so-called 9th Horrorfest film. It's a French movie called "Frontier(s)," and it wasn't screened during the festival because most Horrorfest theaters were too ( Read more... )
