Scythe’ the newest slasher film that claims to “break all the horror movie rules”. We were sent this slasher film for review and to build awareness of it before it’s Kickstarter runs out [which runs out in 2 days]. Opening to two teens/20 somethings smoking joints as one of them leaves the other turns on the tv, a report of escaped serial killer, Ronald Wade, dubbed “The Grim Reaper Killer” was top story on the news. As the absent girl [Amy] makes her way back home, the escaped serial killer tracks her down and in a jump worthy scene she gets offed. Words from the director: “The film is called SCYTHE. It’s a psychological SLASHER THRILLER in the same vein of Halloween, Saw & Hitchcock. While the genre seems like it has been done to death, OUR FILM is unique: IT’S REAL. IT’S REALISTIC. It’s realistic in setting and realistic in tone. The film has a human interest dramatic element

[Review] SnapChat Horror Film ‘3 SECONDS’

It was bound to happen sometime, a filmmaker capitalized on one of the most used apps of this generation SnapChat. I viewed the first ever SnapChat horror film (short) last night. The short follows a young woman getting SnapChat messages of herself sleeping while she’s home alone. From filmmaker Alex J Mann, whom’s known for shorts such as Gun, Uber Driver and Engagement written and directed this short based around being stalked by a killer though SnapChat. Mann is also the co-founder of Space Oddity Production Company a company focused on exploring the aspects of technology and culture. Here’s what I think: 3 Seconds is definitely a horror short that makes sense for this generation (not sure revalent it’ll be in 5 years when Snapchat is phased out) I’m interested in how the director will [or even if he is] expands upon it, because as it stands now it’s a great short to watch, love the “who’s there aspect”, love

Things Heating Up At The Bates Motel

Since there was a week long hiatus between episode 4 and episode 5 of Bates Motel on A&E lets catch up where we left off. It seems like forever since the last episode. There have been some major events for the Bates, but that’s nothing unusual. Norma and Sheriff Alex Romero are such a cute couple in their obviously fake marriage. It may be legal but those two will never make it work, will they? It does seem they are getting closer despite what they may want to happen. Unfortunately it seems someone broke into the Bates home while Norma and Alex were out at a town function. Of course this happens just as things are going well for them. The DEA is getting suspicious of Alex’s “associate” at the bank even though he claims to know her only from bank business. He is also hiding money in the basement Norman used for his taxidermy. The Bob Paris thing isn’t

“Contracted: Phase 2” Horror Film Review

“Contracted: Phase 2” is the 2015 sequel to the 2013 film “Contracted”. The original was directed by Eric England who had a part in making the slasher “Madison County”. “Contracted” starred Najarra Townsend who also was in “The Toy Soldiers” and Caroline Williams who played Dr. Maple in Rob Zombie’s “Halloween II”. It was about a girl who contracts an STD that turns out to be a zombie type virus. “Contracted: Phase 2” had a mostly new cast including the director who was Josh Forbes. This is Forbes’ first feature length film, but in the past he has directed a few shorts. Our main protagonist here is played by Matt Mercer who was actually in the first “Contracted”. “Contacted: Phase 2” is written by Craig Walendziak who also helped produce the 2015 horror film “He Never Died,” which is actually a pretty cool movie that I would recommend watching. The film has the same basic premise that the first one

“Curve” 2016 Horror Movie Review

“Curve” is a 2016 survival horror film directed by Iain Softley who is known for his work on “Backbeat”, “Hackers”, “The Wings of the Dove”, “K-PAX”, and “The Skeleton Key”. The two main stars of the film are played by the beautiful Julianne Hough, who is known for her roles in “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” and “Footloose”, and Teddy Sears who was on the television show “Raising the Bar” and the film “A Single Man”; which is a fantastic film by the way if you haven’t seen it yet. “Curve” comes at us from the producer Jason Blum who is the amazing man who brought us the horror movies Paranormal Activity , The Purge, Insidious , and Sinister . Knowing that going in, I was extremely excited to crack into and watch this film. Our main protagonist Mallory, as the film begins, is driving all alone down a road in her truck. She stops at a fork in

“Evil Souls” Horror Movie Review

“Evil Souls” is a 2015 horror film that was directed by Maurizio del Piccolo and Roberto del Piccolo. They both worked on another horror movie back in 2011 called “The Hounds”. The antagonist of “Evil Souls” is named Valentine who is played by Peter Cosgrove. He is known for the recent film “Grainne Uaile” and the two upcoming movies “Dalriata’s King” and “Wonderland”. The protagonist of the film is named Father Albert played by Julian Boote who is known for his parts in The Killing Zone, Dead Room and Mesocafé. The movie is working with a low budget but the practical effects are great considering that fact. “Evil Souls” relies on what the new French wave of horror has popularized and that’s what I supposed is referred to as “disturbing” or “shock gore”. Some of the shock scenes in this film were reminiscent of one of my favorite movies of all time: “Martyrs”. “Evil Souls” has a way lower budget

“Excess Flesh” Horror Film Review

Hi everyone! This is my very first review for this website and I hope it’ll be one of many to come in the future. Now let’s dive right into: “Excess Flesh”. This is an independent film directed by Patrick Kennelly who previously made a documentary named “10 Minutes is 2 Hours” which is a 2013 film about cultural exploitation. When I first watched the trailer for “Excess Flesh”, I was intrigued by what plot was revealed in it. It showed a tale of two women with opposite body physiques living together and trying to get along when one day the one of them goes nuts and starts to hold the other captive. A wonderful premise for a horror flick, in my mind anway. The story follows two women named Jill and Jennifer. Jill is the stereotypical overweight woman who is constantly worrying about her body image and how others around her perceive her. Jill is one of those people who
