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 …

‘Monsters’ Review – Not District 9 in Anyway Shape, Form or Fashion
Oh, how I wanted to love this movie. I wanted to spread some of that alien inhabitant District 9 love to Monsters, but I cannot. I was just so bored. So very bored, for real though. (I apologize to Antonie Dobson and those who are sick of the intruders in my bed story. I had …

HorrorFatale.com Picks the Best and Worst Horror Films of 2012
We laughed, we cringed, we booed and we laughed some more, because it’s us. That’s we do. I always procrastinate with this list because I see dozens upon dozens of films each year and I’m always somewhat unmoved lately that is. I long for the days of Jason and Freddie. There are just no good …

‘Juan of the Dead’ Review – Zombie Killing and Havana Nights
Juan de los Muertos (original title) Directed by Alejandro Brugués 2012 How can a film go wrong when you include Sid Vicious crooning Sinatra’s ‘My Way’ on its soundtrack I ask you? Answer is you cannot. This film actually had my approval with its title, ‘Juan of the Dead’. Remember that cool little British film, …
