Christopher Landon’s Scouts Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse on the face of it looks like fun, and while I was a boy scout when I was younger, there’s something that has always felt a bit off-putting to me about people who don’t outgrow it. That being said, the movie looks like there’s some potential for hilarity among […]
“The Darker Side Of Close Encounters.”
I don’t know about this. Notice the title. It’s not “Frankenstein,” but “Victor Frankenstein,” the point being that they seem to be moving away somewhat from Frankenstein’s Monster, to the man that assembled Frankenstein’s Monster.

Da Sweet Blood of Jesus, the movie that he […]
“”Dark Summer” Isn’t The Season Horror Fans Are Waiting For (Though It’s Still Better Than “Ouija”).” Watching Dark Summer you can tell that the filmmakers thought that they were onto something special, and I can understand why. The movie has some beautiful cinematography and is shot and edited in a manner designed to heighten atmosphere and tension. Keir Gilchrist plays […]
Ah, that’s the way they’re going to go! For awhile I was wondering how AMC brass were going to approach the upcoming AMC partner series to their critical and ratings darling, The Walking Dead. Now I get it. It seems that the upcoming spinoff will spend most of its time dealing with the beginning of the zombie threat, […]
