Retro Slashers

Todd & Patrick did great on MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D, and although this appears to be a 2D remake until further notice, I’m pretty excited.
Never made it back to the original as of yet, but I SAW WHAT YOU DID was remade for TV in 1988, in pretty kickarse fashion by Fred Walton. It functions [...]

Hope you are all spending mother’s day best and treating her right – remember, you only have one. First rumored last year but now confirmed – MOTHER’S DAY is next on the redux list. Oddly, they refer to it as a remake but from the plot, it’s clearly a sequel. Or should I say, requel!

Streeting May 19th, Code Red-produced/Shriek Show-distributed – Tim Kincaid’s sleaze epic RIOT ON 42ND STREET. If you were able to sit through BREEDERS, MUTANT HUNT and ROBOT HOLOCAUST with a knowing grin like I was, this grimey 80’s artifact will hit the spot.

Hitting up films to collect, each more deliriously titled then the last, I hit the logical conclusion when I stumbled on this old fave site, where one click of your mouse creates a fake Giallo title and synopsis. Here’s [...]

Coinciding just prior to today’s first day of shooting, Moviehole posted a pretty scathing script review of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (2010) that had me slapping my knee and gufawing till dawn. Not surprisingly, the article is now MIA from their website, or at least was at the time, but we already had a [...]

Code Red are hitting home runs this year with titles for retro slasher fans to salivate over. The quirky lost slasher NIGHT OF THE DRIBBLER, and indeed – the title so obvious we weren’t sure even when we were beaten over the head with clues – WEEKEND MURDERS! Charge forth for cover art and [...]
