Cold Prey (2006)
Posted in Horror Reviews on July 3rd, 2009 by Fatally*YoursReview by Elaine Lamkin
This was my first experience watching a Norwegian horror film (and probably for any one else who has checked this little gem out). My history with horror and Norwegians had, to date, extended entirely of Kurt Russell’s character, MacReady, in The Thing, with his repeated references to the “Swedes” who had caused [...]
Book Review: The Garden of Ghosts by Scott Thomas
Posted in Horror Literature on July 3rd, 2009 by Fatally*YoursReview by Fatally Yours
I am absolutely enthralled by the Victorian time period. The whole gothic mystique of the period – from the aesthetic of the clothing and architecture to the morbid mourning photography and the ever-present obsession with death – just feels so morbidly romantic! So it was with pure delight that I delved into [...]
Rock ‘n’ Roll Nightmare (1987)
Posted in Horror Reviews on July 2nd, 2009 by Fatally*YoursReview by Fatally Yours
In the cheesy headbangin’ horror movie Rock ‘n’ Roll Nightmare (aka The Edge of Hell) we get to see Jon Mikl Thor in all his Aqua Net glory as lead singer Triton in an 80s hair band (see their #1 hit “We Live to Rock!”) They’ve rented a creepy Canadian (apparently Canada [...]
Hard Rock Zombies (1985)
Posted in Horror Reviews on July 2nd, 2009 by Fatally*YoursReview by Fatally Yours
Where can you find horrible 80’s ballads, a rock star that is a pedophile, Nazis, deformed midgets, zombies, a grandma that transforms into a werewolf, bad 80’s metal hair, music video montages, Adolf Hitler and limber but evil groupies? Hard Rock Zombies, that’s where, one of the worst films ever made!
Dead Wood (2009)
Posted in Horror Reviews on July 1st, 2009 by Fatally*YoursReview by Fatally Yours
Dead Wood starts off with indulging itself in quite a few horror cliches. The opening scene features an extraneous character running through the woods who is eventually offed by a mysterious someone or something before shifting focus to the main group of young adults who are heading out to the same isolated [...]
Book Review: You Know Who I Am by Kevin Akstin
Posted in Horror Literature on July 1st, 2009 by Fatally*YoursReview by Fatally Yours
In this nightmarish novella by author Kevin Akstin the thin veil between sanity and insanity is examined through the eyes of a man who can’t quite seem to tell the difference.
Description: An unnamed man, in an unnamed city, knows something horrendous is happening. Through the warped sliver of twilight between dreams and [...]
The Midnight Massacre Theatre
Posted in Horror Reviews on June 30th, 2009 by Fatally*YoursReview by Fatally Yours
Remember the good old days of sneaking downstairs at midnight to watch your local horror host introduce a viewing of some god-awful B-movie? The movies might not have been memorable, but you no doubt remember the horror host!! Those hosts are what made watching such bad movies fun; they were like your [...]
Book Review: Shadows in the Mist by Brian Moreland
Posted in Horror Literature on June 30th, 2009 by Fatally*YoursReview by Fatally Yours
There is something so inherently evil about Nazis that even when you hear the word it makes your skin crawl. All the atrocities they committed, all the innocent people they killed and all the secret experiments they conducted make the Devil himself look tame! Well, it looks like the terror of Nazis [...]
I Know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer (2009)
Posted in Horror Reviews on June 29th, 2009 by Fatally*YoursReview by Fatally Yours
I’ve been looking forward to I Know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer ever since I heard about this satirical Australian slasher a few years ago! The concept of a killer cricket player combined with the promise of plenty of slapstick screwball comedy really had me eager to check it out! [...]
Consumption (2007)
Posted in Horror Reviews on June 29th, 2009 by Fatally*YoursReview by Fatally Yours
Consumption is a short indie film from writer/director Richard Powell and Fatal Pictures. To tell you the truth, I wasn’t expecting much when I first popped it into my DVD player. With a name like Consumption, I knew something was going to be consumed, so I expected a fair amount of blood. [...]
