I saw TUCKER & DALE VS EVIL last year at some film festival and I have to admit my memory is sort of cloudy, but I can tell you this movie is fun! The premise alone offers a completely different take on the horror road trip through a small town film.
Forget the napkins, forget the small talk, forgot the hors d’oeuvres, forget the cocktails. Wait, scratch that- grab a bunch of cocktails and sit back and watch the nuttery! The Perfect Host tells the tale of a fugitive on the lam who decides to crash a dinner party. But he seriously regrets it when the …
No matter how many times I watch a film where the characters are camping, hunting or going on a road trip, I still manage to enjoy them mostly. I just make sure to never go camping, hunting or go on a road trip. Basically, the same storyline applies to Pig Hunt with a small change, …
After sitting through the tepidness that was A Nightmare on Elm Street how relieved I was to watch Never Sleep Again – The Elm Street Legacy. It felt like a high school reunion if you will. Of course, it was a high school reunion with a body count. But, I went to an inner city …
Usually when I see Dennis Quaid I run in the other direction, but because I saw Ben Foster’s name (Six Feet Under, Alpha Dog, 30 Days of Night) was immediately on board. I keep asking why that kid isn’t more famous. Get better representation Ben, you deserve more roles. Anyrant. Pandorum is a sci-fi, thriller, …
Directed by Fede Alvarez (2013) No Ash? Wait, they are remaking Evil Dead, without Bruce Campbell? What? That’s crazy talk. That will never work. The Ash character is now a girl? Remember when the internet world went all flavors of nutters when that information came out about this remake. Guess what? They were WRONG! I …

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 …
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 …
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 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, …
