The first and second installments of this franchise are proto-torture-porn legend, the third one? I’ve never seen it. Perfect – I’ve got a website where I watch and review as many horror movies as I can cram into my eye face, a fine excuse to watch basically everything. Especially the ones people don’t talk much…
A retelling of the original Gojira (Jesus how many have there been now?), a Japanese retelling… so no Matthew Broderick. I watched this one on a flight to L.A., leedle screen, headphones. Might have been better for The Big TV but then I also thought “maybe a simple, old-school monster movie would be better for…
63 minutes of a movie. I love short horror movies! “Is it good? Is it bad?” Who cares! It’s minimal investment! If a movie seems dodgy to me I’ll avoid it if it’s over 2 hours long (because let’s just be honest with ourselves, Mister Director… you’re not making “Citizen Kane” just another piece of…
More vintage Italian horror, this one by the prolific director Umberto Lenzi, who made a whole mess of trashy horror in the 70s and 80s, and is most known for his cannibal movies (which were pretty trendy in Italian horror in the 70’s and 80’s). This movie was filmed the year after the People’s Temple…
This no-budget DIY “found footage” movie is the true story of Chris Chambers (a not-real person played by Joseph Mazzaferro), and is composed of one hour of (not)actual footage of (not)Chris Chambers acquiring and opening his very own Dybbuk Box from the dark web. A little background, a Dybbuk is a thing from Hebrew folklore,…
It’s a “Found Footage” type of production, shot in the actual catacombs of Paris. Neat! I’m in! Reviewers hated this movie, let’s see what I can get out of it. Found Footage movies are a low-budget work-around, and in my experience more than half are complete stinkers, an eighth are only mildly awful, and a…
Dipping into some vintage horror now, this one is a Joe D’Amato classic from 1979, when Italian horror was at its high point. Soundtrack by “The Goblins,” known also as “Goblin” on the soundtracks of multiple Dario Argento horror movies of the era. If you come across any on their records while picking through the…
It’s a 40-year-old horror flick from Austria, based on the 1980 murders of Werner Kniesek. It’s a bit of a notorious “video nasty,” banned in a number of European countries… because it must truly suck being a horror fan in Europe. Europeans, does it? So many solidly ghastly movies I see are touted as “Banned…
When you think international horror hotspots, places like Italy, Korea, Japan and France come to mind. Probably not Indonesia, but with movies like “Impetigore,” “The Doll,” “Qorin” and now “May The Devil Take You,” Indonesia is seeming like a filmmaking culture that is unexpectedly embracing horror in a more serious way. I don’t know shit…
Australia has been knocking it out of the horror movie park the last several years. Just Google up “Aussie Horror” and see the giant bloody bag full of horror movie titles it brings back to you. The Loved Ones is another Aussie title I haven’t heard of until recently. It’s from the same director who…
