Movie Review: Investigation 13 (2019)

A gaggle of science-type students have taken it upon themselves to prove that the things that go bump in the night are really real… and if they can convince the college board of their findings than they will be on easy street, ya dig? As you may surmise from that title up yonder, the final investigation to prove their point is ol’ unlucky number thirteen, which takes our protagonists deep within Black Grove Psychiatric Asylum where they set out to examine the legend of The Mole Man; a former patient of ye olde loony-bin who is thought to still haunt those unhallowed halls. Of course, this being a fright flick and all, members of the group pull a vanishing act and our remaining heroes must deal with the fact that ol’ Double M is a very real threat to their continued existence! Let’s get down to brass fuckin’ tacks; Investigation 13 doesn’t exactly break new and exciting ground in our

Movie Review: Horror Movie: A Low Budget Nightmare (2017)

Director Craig Anderson is like a lot of us… a middle-aged man who hasn’t given up the dream of making his own fright flick. So he leaves his television gig and actually makes a film; 2016’s Red Christmas (which I reviewed in another life right here); a lil’ ditty about an aborted fetus that lives, grows up and decides to get sweet revenge on mommy dearest come Yuletide. Now you may say; “Why in the unholy fuck would I give two generous shits about the making of a film I (probably) never saw?” The answer to that is simple; “Because you need to see the absolute hell filmmaking can be if you aren’t properly prepared.” The main area that unpreparedness shows is in the budgeting of the film… Anderson’s budget, meager to begin with, continues to grow, and he has to bust ass and make many a sacrifice (including totally sucking the teat of his life savings dry as a

Zombie Flick ‘One Cut Of The Dead’ Coming To Shudder Following Debut In Theaters

One of the most critically-acclaimed genre films of the past decade and a record-shattering blockbuster in its native Japan, One Cut of the Dead. Scoring a rare “100% Fresh” rating from Rotten Tomatoes, the film follows a movie crew “while shooting a low-budget zombie film in an abandoned warehouse, the crew find themselves caught between actual zombies and a mad director who won’t stop rolling. If you think you know what happens next, think again. Filmmaker Shinichiro Ueda turns the film on its head more than once for one of the wildest, funniest, and most surprising zombie movies of all time.” This hit film is written, directed, and edited by Shinichiro Ueda, and stars Takayuki Hamatsu, Mao, Harumi Shuhama, Yuzuki Akiyama, Kazuaki Nagaya, and Manabu Hosoi.

Witness ‘Incredible Violence’ On VOD

An aspiring horror filmmaker has an insane, ingenious method for producing movies in Incredible Violence, which marks the directorial debut of G. Patrick Condon who penned the script with Ross Moore. M.J. Kehler, Stephen Oates, Michael Worthman, Kimberly Drake, and Erin Mark star in the quasi-biographical flick. ‘ In the film, “G.

Movie Review: An Hour To Kill (2018)

Anthologies are a dime a demonic dozen in our beloved horror biz, but I can honestly say I’ve never seen on featuring hitmen telling terror tales before committing a kill… The set-up to An Hour To Kill is simple; Mr. Kinski (Game of Death‘s Mel Novak) orders our “heroes” Frankie (Frankie Pozos) and Gio (Aaron Guerrero) to bump off a poor, unfortunate sumbitch in an hours time. To pass that allotted limit, horror yarns are spun, and first up is: Valkyrie’s Bunker, which concerns a World War Two Nazi bunker located in sunny California, U. S. of fuckin’ A.! And wouldn’t ya know it, that building is lousy with bud… supposedly. Enter five femmes who take it upon themselves to sniff out that wicked weed, which of course leads to them entering into a fight for their lives against a gas-mask wearin’ sinister slasher! This segment is a fun homage to ’80s era stalk n’ slay affairs, and offers a

Ewan McGregor stars as adult Danny Torrance in Mike Flanagan‘s Doctor Sleep, both an adaptation of King’s novel of the same name and the sequel to King’s classic The Shining. Today, the final trailer has arrived for Doctor Sleep and it’s incredible. Flanagan rewrote Akiva Goldsman’sadaptation of King’s 2013 novel which picks up with Danny in his 40s, struggling with the scars of his time at the Overlook Hotel and the same demons of anger and alcoholism that plagued his father. Now, a new generation is in danger. But can he help them? In the film, “On highways across America, a tribe of people called the True Knot travel in search of sustenance. They look harmless—mostly old, lots of polyester, and married to their RVs. But as Dan Torrance knows, and spunky twelve-year-old Abra Stone learns, the True Knot are quasi-immortal, living off the steam that children with the shining produce when they are slowly tortured to death.” Alex Essoe
