Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977)

Review by Fatally Yours
Some movies have a reputation that precedes them, a reputation that has marked them as being “bad” movies. Most everyone you talk to about these movies tells you they are awful…The Exorcist II: The Heretic is one such movie that is loathed by most horror fans and critics (oftentimes called “the worst [...]

Frontiere(s) (2007)

Review by Fatally Yours
After I heard so much buzz about Frontière(s), I was eager to check it out. After the recent French filmmaking triumphs of Haute Tension, Them (Ils) (read review) and Inside (read review), it seemed destined that Frontière(s) would be another notch in French horror cinema’s belt. Despite the high praise that Frontière(s) [...]

The Black Pit of Dr. M (1959)

Review by Fatally Yours
Full of dark shadows, creeping fog, howling wind, ghostly apparitions, mental patients, disfigurement, death and murder, The Black Pit of Dr. M (aka Misterios de Ultratumba) is a masterpiece of gothic filmmaking that deserves far more attention and praise than it has received.
Dr. Mazali (Rafael Bertrand) and Dr. Aldama (Antonio Raxel) have [...]

The Deed to Hell (2008)

Review by The Wolf
There are three well-known facts when it comes to our existence: We’re born, we live, and we die. However, what happens when we do die? Do our souls travel on to Heaven? Do some of us go to Hell for our sins? Are we stuck in some sort of proverbial Limbo that’s [...]

Conjurer (2008)

Review by Dr. Royce Clemens
I reviewed a movie a few weeks back called Deadwood Park (read review) In it, I wondered why the hell the two leads were so quick to acquiesce to the fact that there were ghosts about. But today’s movie, Conjurer, is almost making me rethink my stance. It’s kind of weird [...]

The Living Dead Girl (1982)

Review by Fatally Yours
Though I haven’t delved too deeply into Jean Rollin’s filmography, I have found the films of his I have seen to be quite poetic and darkly romantic. The Iron Rose (read review) was the first film of his I saw, and it entranced me with its gothic feel and dark poetry. After [...]

Livelihood (2005)

Review by Fatally Yours
What if the dead walked the earth…but instead of brains all they wanted were their old lives back?
This is the basic premise of Livelihood, a hilarious zom-com that pits the living and the undead against each other, but in very different circumstances than your typical zombie flick.
The film intertwines the stories of [...]

REC (2007)

Review by Jeffery J. Timbrell
I have to make a confession: I’m really enjoying this new brand of horror movie.
The recent genre in the vein of “amateur footage” has a back to basics approach that has potential to be the shot in the arm that indie horror directors have needed for a long time. The approach [...]

Day of the Dead (2008)

Review by Noel
With SUCH a complex plot, how will I ever find a way to boil remake Day of the Dead into bite-size chunks? I’ll give it a try…
We find ourselves in Leadville, Colorado, a sleepy little town, a “charming shithole” in the words of one of its residents. Why are we here?
Because this town [...]

Prom Night IV: Deliver Us From Evil (1992)

Review by Fatally Yours
The only thing consistent with the Prom Night series is how inconsistent the films are. The first film, with its standard slasher storyline and horrendous disco music is nonetheless still a fun film to watch. Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II (read review) completely discarded the first Prom Night’s (read review) story [...]
