Buy ANYTHING Instead! “One of the best, if not THE best horror flicks of the year.” -Bloody-Disgusting.com “A creepy, old-fashioned 80’s sleep-over movie, with the perfect blend of blood, screams and scares.” -Eli Roth, Director of Cabin Fever “B is for BORRRR-IIIIINNNGG.” -bisforbrains.com Now that I have my initial childish remark out of the way, let’s get serious.

| Wolfhound | July 14th, 2006 |
Buy it…for some odd reason. Wolfhound has something to do with an American writer that has just arrived in Ireland. He’s staying at his late parents humble ol’ abode in order to garner some inspiration for his next novel. Problem is, he’s brought his wife and kids along with him…bad idea buddy, haven’t you ever seen The Shining? His wife is a sporadic bipolar nut-case, which sounds exciting written down but it’s really not. The kids are…kids. There are a number of mangy dogs lingering around the supposed-to-be- Continue » |

| Conjure | June 17th, 2006 |
I feel like my patience has just gone through the most painfully rigorous test imaginable. For those not in-the-know, Conjure is a horror flick from the “Rock Star of Illustration,” Matt Busch. Even if you’ve never heard Busch’s name, you have more than likely seen his work on everything from Star Wars to The Crow to The Lord of The Rings. Being an artist myself, I truly admire his incredible talent and style. This movie on the other hand is an entirely different story. The plot is a thrown-together (literally, watch the extras) cluster-fuck of mammoth proportions. Matt runs across an old photograph of a castle while wandering through a graveyard. It was “calling his name,” so he took it and decided to paint it. After beginning the painting, he and his foxy-wife-with-an-attitude, Sarah, begin to have strange Continue » |

| Dream No Evil (Now I Lay Me Down to Die) | June 3rd, 2006 |
Buy something MUCH better here! THE DEAD WILL RISE AGAIN… In a surrealistic horror setting, a young Preacher’s assistant goes mad and becomes lost in a fantasy of her own creation. The woman, Grace, creates a world in which her either dead or missing father is present, quite loving, and lives with her on a fabricated ranch. In her mind, Grace’s father will stop at nothing to protect his daughter’s best interests…. including murder. Stars academy award-winner Edmond O’Brien as Grace’s father. That’s a quick summary of the plot and I dare not go in any further. In fact, the best thing i can say about this horrid piece of work is that the summary ends up sounding quite good. Avoid this movie like you would avoid a swarm of bees; if you see it on a store shelf run away screaming and flailing your arms… and then jump in a pond and use a straw to breath with until you pass out Continue » |

| Terror Toons | May 28th, 2006 |
Buy it now at amazon.com! No seriously. Let’s examine this little flick from director Joe Castro. Things kick off with a rather hilarious introduction by some leather-and-stud-clad punk rocker. I have to admit, this terrible little intro had me pumped up for what was to come. As soon as the actual movie began my jaw was on the floor. The so called “special-effects” in the opening scene contain some of the worst blue-screen and After-Effects filters I’ve ever seen! Needless to say, I was excited. The movie gets right to the gore, with Dr. Carnage mutiliating what looks to be either Tweedledee or Tweedledum. Not sure which. We are then presented with the most cliche of horror scenarios: Two sisters are left home alone while their parents leave town. I have to give the guys that made this movie mad props, the mom is actually played Continue » |
