Always late to the ball, but I was procrastinating contemplating this very carefully. Keep and mind I started writing this blog as I was watching Seed of Chucky on cable, so I guess long story short my judgment is clearly skewed. But whatever it must be done. I have to say there were very few …

Will Definitely Sleep Again – ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’ Review
Although the A Nightmare on Elm Street is visually pleasing that’s where the pleasing stops and the yawning begins. The reimaging of horror classic fell short on the scares and the delivery of Freddy’s trademark snark simply does not cut it. Pun totally intended. There’s seriously no need to rehash the storyline because it is …

Clips, Clips and More Clips from ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’ Remake
You know its opening week when they release this many clips on the interwebs. I’m personally finished with my bitching about how much they need Robert Englund, because the films in the can and about to hit the cinema.

Bates Motel – Three Episodes In So Far, So Odd
After a much needed break, I have returned from my walkabout. Walkabout, that spontaneous journey through the wilderness of one’s choosing in an effort to satisfy one’s itchy feet, a need to be elsewhere, the craving for the open road, that space over the horizon… You guessed it I walked about the shoes stores across …

‘MAMA’ (Review) – Mama is mad folks!
Directed by Andrés Muschietti 2013 I’ll just say this right off, I’m a big fan of Guillermo del Toro, so I came into Mama with bias. Technically this film was not directed by Guillermo, but by Andrés Muschietti, who actually co-wrote and directed a Spanish short by the same name in 2008. However, when you …

Answer is you cannot. This film actually had my approval with its title, ‘Juan of the Dead’. Remember that cool little British film, …
