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 »

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 »

The year is 1965, and somewhere in New England Heather Fasulo (Agnes Bruckner) has just set fire to a tree. And why the hell not? Those cocky piles of chimney fuel just stand around thinking they’re better then everyone. It seems sensible that we should torch flora occasionally as a reminder that they’re nothing more than CO2 scrubbers for my H3, damn it. Apparently, Heather’s parents feel otherwise. Deciding that she’s a troubled teen, they do what any loving and caring parents would when faced with a problem child: they drive into the woods and pawn her off. Her painfully silent father (Bruce Campbell), and his harpy of a wife, abandon Heather at the ill-maintained Falburn Academy. The eerily austere faculty immediately take an unsettling interest in the girl, almost completely ignoring her parents. Continue »

I’ve been interested in the occult since my freshman year of high school. I find the entire mentality to be both incredibly fascinating and truly frightening. Therefore, it seems that occult themed horror flicks would be right up my alley, eh? Unfortunately, this is not the case. Every movie on the subject I’ve seen has turned out to be abrasively average, and sadly Joe Knee’s “Cult” is no different.

A group of pretty-faced college kids convince their professor to let them research a mysterious, now-defunct cult for one of their classes. They discover that the origin of the cult’s extreme power came from an ancient Chinese amulet, which the geek in me is going to lovingly refer to as the +5 Jade Amulet of Sacrifice. Continue »
