DVD Review: Halloween II (2009) Unrated Director's Cut

DVD Review: Halloween II (2009) Unrated Director’s Cut

This is the version of Halloween II that should’ve been released in theaters.  Rob Zombie’s director’s cut of Halloween II is out now with fleshed out story lines, more face time for Michael Myers, and a nihilistic ending much better than the pitiful one haunting the theatrical version.  Two years after her last encounter with Michael [...]

DVD Reminder: The House On Sorority Row (1983)

DVD Reminder: The House On Sorority Row (1983)

Liberation Entertainment unleash Mark Rosman’s The House On Sorority Row from the attic on Jan 12th. Looks like a decent upgrade from the OOP Elite barebones, and contains a photo and commentary of the lost ending where the heroine is found dead in the pool dressed up in Eric Slater’s clown costume.

DVD Review: Intruder (1989) Unrated Director's Cut

DVD Review: Intruder (1989) Unrated Director’s Cut

Movie:
A night shift for the clerks and shelvers at a suburban supermarket is going to be their last. Not just because it’s soon closing for good, but because someone is using the Deli tools to butcher the crew. “Half Off” indeed. Scott Spiegel’s Intruder is an underrated slasher due to the infamous mangling it received [...]

Thanksgiving Almost Canceled by Sea Urchin Attack

Thanksgiving Almost Canceled by Sea Urchin Attack

Here’s a bizarre story some of you may have missed. Eli Roth, during a recent trip to Mexico, was attacked by a pissed off gang of sea urchins. A rogue wave crashed into Roth and drove the director into sea urchin infested waters. The sea urchins greeted Roth by stabbing him several [...]

Offerings (1989) Review

Offerings (1989) Review

1989 was full of uncertainty. Like George Michael’s sexuality for instance, and this oddball black comedy slasher.
Offerings was a regional horror movie shot in Oklahoma and is a total rip-off of Halloween. However, it also likens itself to Rob Zombie’s remake by giving the killer a motive. It’s also a little bit like Prom Night, [...]

Future-Kill (1985) Review

Future-Kill (1985) Review

It’s the near future and young adults are divided into two factions: the ‘Frats’, the privileged college upperclass, and the poverty-stricken ‘Mutants’, a society of punk protestors. We start out with each group separately but in mirrored situations – a pack of ‘bad’ frat members are in trouble for repeated pranks on a ‘good’ frat, [...]

New Year's Evil Redux!

New Year’s Evil Redux!

Simply because I haven’t watched another New Year’s Eve themed slasher (at least one I can remember seeing…), here’s some linkage to the awesome New Year’s Evil review I wrote a few years ago.
Enjoy!
Have a safe and awesome new year!

Jack M Sell's Black Christmas: The Forgotten Santa Slasher

Jack M Sell’s Black Christmas: The Forgotten Santa Slasher

Jack M. Sell’s Black Christmas is a spoof of holiday slashers that was never finished. The scenes that were filmed make up a trailer that appears during Sell’s Outtakes, his attempt at a Groove Tube type comedy. This Black Christmas involves a killer Kris Kringle stalking a group of young friends partying in [...]

To All a Goodnight (1980)

To All a Goodnight (1980)

David Hess was no stranger to the world of celluloid horror when he stepped behind the camera for his directorial debut (and swan song as of this printing). As an actor he made us cringe as Krug, the scariest of the hoodlums featured in Last House on the Left and his rapist take on Of [...]
