Blu-ray Review: The Attic Expeditions (2001)

Our boy Trevor (Andras Jones) is coolin’ his heels in Ye Olde Insane Asylum after having supposedly murdered his girlfriend. While there he is plagued by nightmares about black magic (and murder ‘natch). Trevor’s doc, Dr. Ek (the legend himself, Jeffrey Combs) is hellbent on plundering all of Trevor’s subconscious secrets and utilize it for his own dark purposes… so things are looking grim as fuck for our hero indeed! What I feel is The Attic Expeditions‘ greatest stumbling block may be what you cats n’ creeps dig the most; namely the fact that the narrative is told from Trevor’s highly suspect perspective, so we never know if the images he sees are fact or just the result of his mental condition… and you cats n’ creeps know if there is something supernatural afoot I like it to be the real deal, no ifs, ands, or buts! Thankfully the film is jam packed with surreal images and some great co-stars

Short Film Review: Red Light (2020)

Ricky (Alex Sands) is one of those obnoxious social media influencer types that are always up to one dumb-fuck prank or another, and his friends let him know how much of a royal pain in the ass his constant filming and sharing is while on the way to a Halloween party. Before our heroes can get to the soiree, they find themselves in dire straits when their pal cum chauffeur Jake (Layne Herrin) explodes in the ol’ road rage at the eponymous red light, and gets into hot water with psycho siblings Stephen (Brian Krause) and Ian (the legendary Ted Raimi). A night of unspeakable… and most likely inescapable, torture ensues! As you may surmise, Raimi is fascinating as the philosophical, knife toting, ordered lunatic that terrorizes out young protagonists (while seeking guidance from his mother via telephone on how to handle the trickier aspects of this stalk n’ slay affair); a truly great performance that definitely adds immeasurably to

Blu-ray Review: Skinner (1993)

Dennis Skinner (Ted Raimi) wades into town (like literally through water…ever hear of a sidewalk chum?) and takes a room in the house of Kerry and Geoff Tate (Ricki Lake and David Warshofsky respectively). Well, Geoff treats Kerry like a shit sandwich and she soon develops a crush on ol’ Skinner…even though he’s weird as balls…and lives up to his name by skinning women and wearing their hides like a Ben Cooper Halloween number, ya dig? Meanwhile, a beautiful and scarred woman named Heidi (Traci Lords) blows into town with a murderous ambition towards Skinner, and an ass-load of drugs as well. How will this sinister scenario play out, and who’ll be left alive and intact at the end of it? Skinner is one hell of a fucked up fright flick! The entire film has an off putting and overly strange vibe (aided by a near comic book style utilization of color and an odd water motif) that is hard

Shudder Announces New Killer Original Series ‘Deadwax’

A killer strikes terror from the turntable in Shudder‘s first original scripted short-form series, “Deadwax“. Created and directed by filmmaker, acclaimed sound designer and electronic musician Graham Reznick (I Can See You, co-writer of the PlayStation hit Until Dawn), Deadwax chronicles the hunt for a rare recording believed to cause madness and death to anyone who dares listen. In the eight-episode series, Etta (Hannah Gross, Mindhunter), an audiophile and rare vinyl record dealer, is hired to find the only existing print of a notorious record that kills whoever listens to it. At the time of its pressing, the engineer had a heart attack and the vinyl supposedly captured the sound of death itself. When Etta comes across Perry (Evan Gamble, Hap & Leonard), a police officer afflicted by the record, she discovers that hearing even a single note can cause insanity. In order to save Perry and survive the job, she must race to unravel the deadly record’s otherworldly origins.

Talented actor Ted Raimi will be in the director’s chair for his first feature film, the psychological thriller The Seventh Floor. In a recent interview with Broke Horror Fan, Raimi had this to say: “I’m directing my first feature this year, as a matter of fact. It’s called The Seventh Floor. Vera Entertainment is producing it, and we’re pre-pro now. We don’t start shooting until September, at the moment. It’s a thriller. I can’t tell you what it’s about, but it’s psychological horror. I’m very excited about that. It’s not traditional horror, there’s no monsters or zombies or anything like that. It’s more in your head.” Raimi is a veteran in the genre and has appeared in over 90 films and series including, Twin Peaks, Candyman, The Grudge, and Drag Me to Hell.

We Are Going To Be Seeing A Lot More Of Ash VS Evil Dead

One of the series I look forward to the most every week is Starz’s ‘Ash vs Evil Dead’ and I know I’m not alone. I have to say, it is one of the best series on television. Few people in this world have the charisma that Bruce Campbell, the star of the series, has. Luckily, we are going to be seeing a lot more of ‘Ash vs Evil Dead’, Bruce Campbell and the fantastic cast. Starz has just renewed the series for season 3 and that’s very “groovy”. The horror-comedy series follows Ash Williams (Campbell), his side-kicks Pablo (Ray Santiago) and Kelly (Dana DeLorenzo) as they go head-to-head against deadites, demons and Ash’s arch-rival Ruby (Lucy Lawless). This season Ted Raimi, Lee Majors and Michelle Hurd joined the cast as Ash’s childhood friend, Ash’s father and his high school sweetheart. Now, Ash, Pablo and Kelly have left Jacksonville to return to Ash’s home town where Ruby has gotten herself in

Ash VS Evil Dead Has A Groovy New TV Spot

We only have a few weeks until Ash (Bruce Campbell), Kelly (Dana DeLorenzo), and Pablo (Ray Santiago) are back on ‘Ash vs Evil Dead’. A series of promos and trailers have already been unleashed. Today, we have the brand new TV Spot. Wondering what will happen this season? We can answer that (no spoilers). The second season roars back into action with Ash leaving his beloved Jacksonville and returning to his hometown of Elk Grove. There he confronts Ruby (Lucy Lawless), and the former enemies have to form an uneasy alliance as Elk Grove becomes the nucleus of evil. Season two is going to bigger and badder (in a good way) than the first. We will not only get a look at Ash’s (Bruce Campbell) past, we will meet his dad (Lee Majors), his childhood best friend (Ted Raimi), an old high school sweetheart (Michelle Hurd) and see some serious deadite ass-kicking. A new “Big Bad” (Joel Tobeck) will be
