Movie Review: Basket Case is the Greatest Grindhouse Creature Feature Ever Made!

Small-town boy Duane Bradley arrives in the sleazy and deranged hell on Earth more commonly known as ’80’s New York City with a strange basket in tow. What bring’s him to the Big Apple you may ask? Just your simple lust for revenge against the shady doctors that surgically removed his horrendously deformed twin brother Belial from his side years previous in a traumatic operation. You can just guess what’s in the damn basket, can’t ya? Before long, both doctors and the tenants of the run down apartment building the the brother’s call home alike begin to fall to the teeth and talons of Belial, who in turn becomes even more enraged by the romance that begins to bloom between Duane and the comely receptionist of one of the doctors they murder. The body count escalates as the relationship between the brothers begins to crumble… Basket Case is, in my opinion, the ultimate grindhouse creature feature; it’s sleazy (there’s that

‘Speak Of The Devil’: Enter The World Of Horror In VR

Not going to lie, VR glasses creep me out…something about my eyes getting sensors shot into them (I admit, I don’t know the science behind it). However, VR production Company Light Sail VR is hoping that everyone will be creeped out by their new project. ‘Speak of the Devil’ has been released for Samsung Gear VR and is being released on more gear as we speak. Available for $2.99, the project allows the user to get lost in the world of horror in a new and exciting way. The sinister choose-your-own-adventure experience takes viewers on a terrifying camping trip they will never forget–if they survive. With 12 fatal paths and only one ending that leads to survival, viewers are in control of the narrative as they explore the woods and come across different paths that lead them to their bloodcurdling fate. I may have to actually give VR a chance with this because it has definitely piqued my interest. Download

The True Story That Inspired The Terrifying Film ‘Veronica’

Paco Plaza, the director behind 2007’s found footage flick [REC], is back with the Spanish horror film Veronica which has been all over genre sites since it arrived on Netflix earlier this month. The reason the film is getting so much buzz, many viewers can’t finish watching the film because it’s so scary. One thing that adds to the reputation is the fact that it is based on a true story. The film centers on a young woman (Sandra Escacena) who must protect her younger brother and sister after she attempts to contact the spirit of their dead father through a ritual using an Ouija board. So, what’s the true story that inspired the film? Back in August of 1991 in Madrid, Spain, a teenage girl named Estafania Gutierrez Lazaro died a mysterious death. Her parents believed the death was caused by Estafania playing with an Ouija board. Shortly before she passed away one of her friends died in a

Sink Your Teeth Into ‘The Santa Clarita Diet’ Season 2 Trailer

Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant will soon be returning to Netflix for season 2 of the zomedy (zombie-comedy) “Santa Clarita Diet”. I don’t know about you, but we couldn’t be happier. The show has it all including a new blood-soaked trailer. In “The Santa Clarita Diet” Joel (Timothy Olyphant) and Sheila (Drew Barrymore) are husband and wife realtors leading vaguely discontented lives in the L.A. suburb of Santa Clarita with their teenaged daughter, Abby (Liv Hewson), until Sheila goes through a dramatic change sending their lives down a road of death and destruction…but in a good way. Picking up right where we left off, Season 2 of “Santa Clarita Diet” finds the Hammonds trying to adapt to Sheila’s now-advanced undead state — even though she’s desperately working to hold on to her suburban lifestyle and not be defined as just another monster. Unfortunately — while the family has become markedly better at murder — the number of missing people in

“The Originals” Spin-Off Adds Two To Its Cast

For a while there we were thinking that The CW had staked all its vampire series with “The Vampire Diaries” over and “The Originals” ending this season, but good news came via Variety that the spin-off of “The Originals” is still alive. According to the site, “The Vampire Diaries'” Matt Davis and “The Originals” actress Danielle Rose Russel have joined the show as Alaric Saltzman and Hope Michaelson. The two will star along with Quincy Fouse, Jenny Boyd, Kaylee Bryant, and Aria Shahghasemi. The spin-off is still in development and has yet to be ordered to series by The CW, but we are keeping our fingers crossed. The CW’s president, Mark Pedowitz, previously revealed during the 2017 Television Critics Association summer press tour that the network had discussed a Hope-centered spin-off with “The Originals” and “The Vampire Diaries” creator Julie Plec. There’s been many conversations about the character Hope,” Pedowitz said. “Nothing has come out of it yet. Julie really
