I have a lot to say about Machete Kills, the latest Mexploitation film from director Robert Rodriguez. A lot of it may be negative, as the film, overall, tries too hard, despite having plenty of ideas and a wonderful ensemble cast, consisting of anyone who apparently had a free weekend at some point to come […]
Machete Kills represents everything that’s wrong with Hollywood, sexploitation, extreme gore, bad dialogue, ridiculous plot and action sequences…you name it. But why do I love it so much?! Because it’s so much God d@mn fun! That’s why! If you can’t let go and have a fun time with a Machete flick, then you’re a robot! […]
All The Boys Love Mandy Lane can now be finally seen by all. The first thing to really say is ‘Mandy Lane’ is an effective horror feature that trades in true originality for solid horror craftsmanship. There is a lot one can unpack in explaining the history behind how this film made back in 2006 […]

In the 1998 Terry Gilliam film Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which has Johnny Depp playing one of the various incarnations of writer Hunter S.

All good things come to those who wait. That’s what they say, right? Well, I’ve been patiently waiting for my favorite director of all time to make a full feature film for about ten years now and here we are ten years later with the master of horror’s newest feature film entitled The Ward. After […]
Drive Angry has made this Nicolas Cage fan very angry. I’m angry at Nicolas Cage for seemingly being unable or unwilling to turn down a movie role. Listening to the audio commentary, the director says Nicolas Cage read the script and said “I have to do this movie.” Saturday Night Live (SNL) does a skit […]
This is strange, but I am going to have to both judge this movie, while defending Piranha 3D. I think Piranha was the kind of film where I could have written the exact same review and assign it either a 1 star or a 4 star rating (which is what I ended up doing). That […]
In the UK . It’s a start. Warner Brothers has acquired the UK rights to release the latest horror film from horror master John Carpenter.
