Back in the early 1980’s, Clive Barker wrote some of the most horrifying stories ever penned, collected in the Books of Blood. One of them was The Midnight Meat Train. I never thought that someone would actually make it into a film, but here we are.
I […]

Repo Men is blessed with a genius satirical science fiction premise.
Imagine a for profit company that makes artificial organs, charges exorbitant prices on credit, with interest at usurious rates, and retrieves their property if you fall behind on your payments. […]

One thing you can say for Alexander Aja, the director of Mirrors, which is based on the Korean film Into The Mirror. He doesn’t hold back and he does not do coy.
In the very first scene, we see what the mirrors of the title are […]

One thing you can say about Red State: it sure ain’t predictable.
It starts out as a horror comedy about three horny teenaged boys who are pulled into the orbit of a nutty Christian fundamentalist clan who pick and choose which Biblical commands to […]

Nine times out of ten, the only reason for a remake to exist is gelt, money, pure profit. The producers take a known property that worked before and retool it for a new generation of consumers.

You can’t accuse Dead Birds of being unoriginal.
How many horror movies about Confederate bank robbers holed up in a haunted antebellum mansion can you recall?

Here we have the first season of Dexter I can’t fully recommend. Huge fans of the series will probably still want to check it out, but it’s just not very good.
