Death Knows Your Name is the final flick from Maverick entertainment that I will ever be watching. That’s it. No more.

The plot has something to do with a mysterious skull and a weird disease in a hospital. It’s basically a wannabe Lovecraftian story that isn’t actually based on a Lovecraft story. I’m not even going to try to explain it. Nor am I going to rip into how boring it is. Instead, here is a list of movies you should watch that did what this movie wants to, but were a B-zillion times better: Continue »

Good lord…

So Maverick Entertainment has sent me a couple flops already. First there was Cult, then Doomed and The Toybox. I fully understand that everyone makes mistakes, even distributing companies, so I decided to keep giving them a chance. But that chance is over and I’m vowing to never watch another movie from Maverick. I don’t mean to be a hater, but there’s only so much a man can take. And this man has reached his limit with Bad Reputation and Death Knows Your Name. Oh, where to begin… Continue »

The Toybox wants to be a serious horror movie with strong acting, cinematography and a haunting soundtrack. Quite honestly, it achieves just that. But did I enjoy it? Not in the least.

This well-executed-yet-painfully-boring flick from the UK is about a young woman that brings her new boyfriend home to meet the fam. But this isn’t just the average awkward family introduction: This chick’s family is fucking wacko to the max. That’s really the only thing I can tell is going on, though there are obviously supposed to be Continue »

It’s hard to begin this review. Hell, it’s hard to begin, continue, and end this review. The easiest part of the entire process will be giving Sasquatch Hunters a rating.

Story: Extremely large group of people go into the woods looking for “something”. “Something” eats a lot of them.

Even the worst of the worst B-monster flicks, including the ones churned out very quickly and very cheaply by more modern techniques, have at LEAST 2 storylines going on. This movie has just the one. It attempts a second by creating intrigue Continue »

Nearly every time I sit down to write a new breview I get rather self–conscious and honestly a little nervous. I worry about my grammar, spelling, intro, body and conclusion. I worry about what I should focus on, what I should leave out, and what I want the end reader to “take home” with them after investing the time to read my literary effort…

But not this time. This time I’m not worried about a single thing. I am confident in knowing that I can casually spew out ANYTHING and it will have a superior thought process than Doomed.

Here’s the script: Drop 10 criminals on an island. Divide them into 5 teams. Continue »

What can I say about Timothy Hines’ take on the H. G. Wells classic? It B’s all it can B.

This retelling premiered alongside 2 other War of the Worlds releases, neither of which seem to live up to the original 1953 adaptation. Both of the low budget takes share a 2.9 (at this time) on the internet movie database, and the gluttonously budgeted, holocaustly overtoned Spielberg production leveled off at a 6.7. The original has withstood the test of time and remains at a glowing 7.2. Although these numbers aren’t a definitive view of whether or not a film is well made, they do, from time to time, help me sleep better at night with the hopes that entertainment might not Continue »
