Hollywood is now talking about rebooting George Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead,” which doesn’t necessarily need it, if you give it any thought. That being said, I am not against it (as I tend to be) because the original is a good film, but also a product of its time, which was 1968. So perhaps […]
Just when you thought that HIV was the scariest thing you could contract sexually, it now looks like you might have to add sexually transmitted zombification to that list. Here’s the trailer for “Contracted,” and good luck out there.
“If you go into a movie called “Sharknado” – as I did – expecting anything more than schlock with mediocre CGI, be prepared for some seriously dashed hopes.” I recall writing a few days ago that the movie “Zombie Massacre” was pretty bad, but a least you could tell that the filmmakers loved the subject […]
“Luca Boni and Marco Ristori’s “Zombie Massacre” isn’t a very good movie, though it’s not as terrible as it could be.” The filmmakers were originally going to call this “Apocalypse Z.” I suspect that they didn’t because Warner Bros., the company that released “World War Z,” probably wouldn’t be too happy about that. It goes […]
Either way, I lose (probably). I just noticed that there’s a new horror movie, “Zombie Massacre,” on Netflix. It’s directed by Uwe Boll – no matter what you think about his films, you have to admit that he’s makes a lot of ’em. You’d think just by the sheer number, he’s directed 30 and produced […]
While I am not sure that I agree with the sentiment (despite finding male cheerleaders particularly irritating. I should also mention that cheerleading isn’t a sport, in and of itself, though it does employ certain aspects of sports, such as gymnastics) of Lucky McKee‘s latest movie, which he directs with Chris Sivertson. I do think […]
“There’s nothing wrong with Esther that a few well-placed bullets couldn’t cure.” There are some people that will tell you the secret of “Orphan,” which if you haven’t seen it is a shame because it deserves to be taken on its own terms. And though the naysayers in some instances have raised valid points, it […]
“Rob Zombie’s remake of John Carpenter’s classic horror film makes some bold choices, but cannot escape the long shadow of the original.” I get what Rob Zombie is trying to do with his remake of John Carpenter’s groundbreaking 1978 film, Halloween,” but it fails for me primarily because it gives so much information. The first […]
It looks like another movie is looking to capitalize on the formula made popular – and profitable – by “The Blair Witch Project” and the ‘Paranormal Activity’ films. This time a woman has somehow been impregnated by Satan (I know how babies are traditionally made, though when you’re talking about the Prince of Darkness you […]
The ‘Paranormal Activity’ films – so far four and counting – took what is normally a pretty creepy idea (basically people forced into having to deal with malign, invisible entities) and ran the entire premise into the ground. The films are in ‘found-footage’ style, which means people run about with cameras in situations where doing […]
