Zombie Holocaust (1980) – Review

Director: Marino Girolami

Stars: Ian McCulloch, Alexandra Delli Colli, Sherry Buchanan

Rating: 

First review in a while, so I’m a little rusty. In light of it being horror month, I decided to go back to my roots and review an old Italian zombie movie. So, with a heavy sigh, I dusted off my copy of Zombie Holocaust and put it into the DVD player. Read the rest of this entry

Skyline (2010) – Review

This movie fucking sucked.

‘Nuff said.

The Mexico Trilogy – Review

EL MARIACHI (1992)

Starring: Carlos Gallardo, Consuelo Gómez, Peter Marquardt

Rating: 

Robert Rodriguez originally made El Mariachi for “practice”. His debut film, done for only $7,000 with an amateur cast and borrowed equipment, went on to make over $2 million at the box office, win the Audience Award at Sundance and shoot Rodriguez into stardom. The film’s production is now legend, and is a constant source of inspiration to filmmakers everywhere. Read the rest of this entry

Must-See Slasher Movies

HALLOWEEN (1978)

Director: John Carpenter

Starring: Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasance, Nancy Kyes

Rating: 

Hugely successful on its first release, and sparking hundreds of imitators, this is the quintessential slasher film, and almost all the other films on this list wouldn’t be here without it. The story is simple enough, a babysiter (Jamie Lee Curtis) is stalked by Michael Myers, an unstoppable masked man, on Halloween night.

The Fly (1986) – Review

Director: David Cronenberg

Stars: Jeff Goldblum, Geena Davis, John Getz

Rating: 

David Cronenberg’s The Fly is a masterpiece. The story, acting and direction are all brilliant, and the special makeup effects are some of the best I’ve ever seen, (up there with The Thing and An American Werewolf in London). Pretty much every thing about this film is amazing. Even the tagline “Be afraid. Be very afraid” fucking rocks. Read the rest of this entry

Transformers: Dark of the Moon – Review

Director: Michael Bay

Stars: Shia LeBouef, Rosie Huntington-Whitely, John Turturro

Rating: 

It could have been worse. I’m not saying it was a good movie, but it definitely could have been worse. When the first Transformers film came out in 2007, it was new and interesting. None of us has seen anything like it, and the transformation effects in the film were superbly done. I think I was 12 when it came out, and I remember how we all loved it.

Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror – Review

Burial Grounds Cover

Director: Andrea Bianchi

Stars: Karin Well, Gianluigi Chirizzi, Simone Mattioli

Rating: 

Here’s the wikipedia introduction to this:

Burial Ground: Nights of Terror (Le Notti del terrore) is an Italian grindhouse zombie movie directed by Andrea Bianchi with cult status, primarily due to its low production values and the casting of a middle aged dwarf as a child in an incestuous relationship with his mother.

Yes. Those are the two reasons this film is entertaining. Somehow it works, but I’m baffled as to how.
