Movie Review: SLAXX (2020)

Ol’ Libby (Romane Denis) is happier than a clam in pigshit (of course as everyone knows, that is pretty damn happy) to be a new employee of an ultra-swank clothing store that is filled with plenty of those pretentious-ass types we all know and loathe. Anyway, one of those aforementioned asses steals a pair of jeans, puts them on, and before you can say “Ooh la la Sasson” she’s pinched in two by that ghoulish garment… and those putrid pants Hoover-up the red sauce left behind with the quickness! You see those sinister slacks are alive and hellbent on creating some serious employee turnover; and it’s up to Libby and her co-worker Shruti (Sehar Bhojani) to try and appease those terror trousers before the entire staff is devoured! Man-oh-man, Slaxx is a nice big slice of ridiculousness and it’s pretty damn glorious let me tell you cats n’ creeps! Director Elza Kephart, who also co-wrote this fright flick along with

Blu-ray Review: Demonia (1990)

Picture it; Sicily 1486… a group of monks, doubtless filled with the friskiness of youth, crucify five nuns they believe are witches… Fast forward to the amazing future year 1990 A.D., and Liza (Meg Register) and Professor Evans (Brett Halsey), head to Sicily to investigate a series of ruins on the island even though every mother fucker on there tells them that it’s a rather shit idea… hell even Liza had a terrifying psychic visions of the damned place at a seance held months earlier. Well, Liza finds the bodies of those nuns, and guess what? They really were witches… blood drinkin’, hard fuckin’, Satanic ones at that… and now they are up and at ’em for some (at times) naked tittied supernatural revenge, and not even Inspector Carter (Lucio Fulci) from Interpol can do fuck-all about it! While not as bat-shit crazy as some of Fulci’s previous efforts, Demonia is still pretty fuckin’ fantastic. The ancient monastery and it’s

Movie Review: The Pale Door

The Pale Door is an independent, low-budget effort that strives to pull off a western/horror movie mashup successfully. Although its budgetary limitations often show seams and its western film tropes are plentiful, the film from director Aaron B. Koontz (Camera Obscura and a segment in Scare Package) is an ultimately fun effort boasting impressive practical makeup effects and an intriguing cast. In the old west, Duncan and his younger brother Jake witness their parents murdered during a raid on their ranch. Duncan (Zachary Knighton) grows up to be a member of the Dalton Gang, and Jake (Devin Druid) leads an honest life sweeping saloon floors in an attempt to save up enough money to buy back the land on which they lived as children. When the two brothers meet up as the gang members travel through town on their way to a train robbery, Jake, against Duncan’s initial wishes, asks to help out after one of the outlaws is shot

Blu-ray Review: Aenigma (1987)

As with most films, Lucio Fulci’s Aenigma begins with two friends helping their pal, Kathy (Milijana Zirojevic), get gussied up for a date as a theme song featuring the “not quite Air Supply” stylings of Douglas Meakin (Head Over Heels by name, though the credits are sure it’s Head Over Meels… missed it by that much) gives us a yacht rock punch right to the ol’ hairy beanbag. Well, the joke’s on her as seemingly the entire student body of St. Mary’s College (her “friends” included) laugh their asses off as the sounds of her getting hot n’ heavy with her date are broadcast for all to hear. Long story short, she bolts, is accidentally hit by a car, and rendered comatose. Enter: Eva Gordon (Lara Lamberti), a new student at the university mentioned up yonder that Kathy attended before Sex Noise Scandal ’87 took her motor skills away. Guess what? Kathy is still attending the school as she has

John Carpenter Confirms Involvement With New Reboot Of ‘The Thing’

For fans of John Carpenter, we have some exciting news. This Saturday, while the Master of Horror was receiving his Lifetime Achievement Award during the Fantasia Film Festival (full interview below), he confirmed several projects. One of those projects is Blumhouse and Universal’s reboot of The Thing. As previously reported, the new film as well as Carpenter’s 1982 movie, is inspired by acclaimed science fiction author John W. Campbell’s Who Goes There?, about a team of scientists in Antarctica who discover and are terrorized by a monstrous, shape-shifting alien. The new film will also draw from Frozen Hell, a recently unearthed novella that serves as an abridged version of Campbell’s original story. In all, there are already three film versions of the same story, The Thing from Another World (1951), Carpenter’s 1982 film The Thing, and 2011’s The Thing from director Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. Blumhouse and Universal’s reboot will be number four. It will be interesting to see how

Blu-ray Review: Fulci For Fake (2019)

Lucio Fulci is horror biz royalty ’round these parts. City of the Living Dead (1980), The Beyond (1981), The House by the Cemetery (1981), A Lizard in a Woman’s Skin (1971), Don’t Torture a Duckling (1972), fuckin’ Zombi (2) (1979)… these are Grade-A fright flick classics right there let me tell ya cats n’ creeps! Now along comes writer/director Simone Scafidi’s with his docu-drama Fulci For Fake, a film which explores Fulci’s life and the impact he had on those that knew him best; his family and the people he created his unforgettable masterpieces alongside. Now, ol’ triple “F” begins with an off-beat conceit; actor Nicola Nocella has been cast as Frenzied Fulci in a fictitious movie about the maestro’s life (and he ends up playing him in this film as well as the meta snake eats it’s tail). To prepare for the role, he chats it up with the likes of composer Fabio Frizzi, cinematographer Sergio Salvati, screenwriter Enrico

Björk To Play A Witch In Robert Eggers’ Upcoming Revenge Film ‘The Northman’

Robert Eggers, the brilliant filmmaker that delivered The Witch and The Lighthouse, is building an epic cast for his next film, The Northman. Alexander Skarsgård, Bill Skarsgård, Willem Dafoe, Anya Taylor-Joy, Kate Dickie, and Nicole Kidman are all set to star. This week another name was added. According to reports, actress and musician Björk has also joined the cast and will play the role of the “Slav Witch.” Known for her unique sound and elaborate costumes, Björk’s most notable film role was that of Selma in Lars von Trier’s award-winning 2000 movie Dancer in the Dark. At the moment, the details surrounding the film are being kept very quiet. We do know that it is a Viking revenge saga set in Iceland near the turn of the 10th century. Eggers co-wrote the script along with Icelandic poet and novelist, Sjón. Due to the pandemic, filming will probably take place later this year, with The Northman likely premiering at film festivals
