Todd Sheets is one maniac mother fucker of a fright flick filmmaker that I’d follow anywhere… movie-wise, I’m not some deranged stalker after all. Anyway, I was pleased as putrid punch when Todd sent your’s cruelly his new picture for a lil’ bit of that revoltin’ review voodoo I do moderately okay-ish! Final Caller concerns abrasive late night shock jock Roland Bennett (Douglas Epps), who’s show ‘On Through The Night’ is about to get a lot more interesting thanks to a lil’ ringy-dingy from The Outsider (Jack McCord); a druid lore addicted literal lady killer with a real hankerin’ for putting the slice n’ dice on the woman folk! Of course Big O isn’t satisfied just chewin’ the fear fat over the telephone, and gets it in his head to make a personal appearance at the station… which puts a bit of a snag in the whole “let’s stay alive” thing the denizens of that building are so fond of!

Movie Review: ‘The Owners’ Is Everything A Horror Movie Should Be
You hear the name, Maisie Williams, and your ears perk up. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know just how talented the “Game of Thrones” actress is. So, as a fan when I heard that Williams was starring in Julius Berg’s new film The Owners I was chomping at the bit to get my hands on a copy. Mission accomplished. Also starring Sylvester McCoy, Jake Curran, Ian Kenny, Andrew Ellis, and Rita Tushingham, The Owners turns a home invasion horror on its ear. Berg couldn’t have chosen a better cast. They each bring something unique to the table. They’re a perfect fit. Star Sylvester McCoy agrees, he couldn’t say enough great things about his fellow actors during our interview. Watching the three assholes taking advantage of and torture the elderly couple was not easy. But it is successful by triggering an emotional reactional from viewers. When the couple reveals their true selves it’s a shock that will leave

I absolutely love doing book and movie reviews, press releases, and anything else possible to expand this world of horror that I love.

Movie Review: Nail in the Coffin: The Fall and Rise of Vampiro (2019)
Ian Richard Hodgkinson, or Vampiro as he’s known to you cats n’ creeps, is one hell of a dude. Born in Montreal, Canada, Vampiro got it in his head (after a few mishaps we’ll get to in a bit) to head to Mexico, learn Spanish, and even though he had no clue how to wrestle, become one of the most legendary figures to ever step into the squared circle south of the boarder.
