Days of the Dead Horror Convention L.A.

Check out our video of the Days of the Dead Horror Convention in L.A.!  

Wild Geese (1978)

There was a time in cinematic history when the only action heroes taken seriously were old crusty men who had legitimate world experience. A time when Charles Bronson a WWII Vet could kick ass even in his 60s, when Lee Marvin a sniper in WWII could lead a band of rag tag soldiers. Nowadays we [...]

5 Shells (2013)

For the last several years the cinematic landscape has been replete with post-apocalyptic visions of our near future. Some cartoonish, some fanciful, others terrifying a graphic. It seems that the death of Western civilization is on the hearts and minds of film makers and film viewers as well. It’s no wonder given the turbulent times [...]

Red Scorpion

Full disclosure. As a kid I loved Dolph Lundgren. I rented every one of his films from my local Mom & Pop video store. All I really remember was that most of them left me wondering why I loved him in the first place. Red Scorpion wasn’t one of those films. I rented it and [...]

CineMayhem Film Festival 2013

I was lucky enough to get to attend the first year of the CineMayhem Film Festival in Thousand Oaks, CA. The event took place at the amazing Muvico Theater. Leather seats, elevators, full kitchen and bar. Now that’s what I call a movie theater. The festival was very well organized and the staff was well [...]

Taeter City (2012)

Growing up as a budding horror fiend I always wanted to see the goriest movie out there. Too bad I peaked at about 12 seeing Dead Alive uncut thanks to my local mom & pop video store. That didn’t deter me in the hunt though. I’ve seen my share of German gore flicks like The [...]

Jug Face (2013)

Running Toxic Graveyard is pretty awesome. I get to update it when I feel like it with no boss breathing down my neck. I also get fantastic screeners. All in all it’s well worth the time. Jug Face, which recently premiered at Sundance, is also well worth your time. Jug Face is about a rural [...]

Document of the Dead (2012)

Growing up as a young horror fan, I discovered Dawn of the Dead in those pre-internet days via a friend’s brother. I couldn’t believe what i was watching. It was gory, it was powerful, it was long and it had depth. It was a horror/political/epic/siege film. I loved it. About a decade later the super [...]

Hammer House of Horror

I’m not the biggest fan of Hammer flicks. Sure, once or twice a year the moon aligns with the stars and I feel like watching a creaky old gothic flick with lots of heaving bosoms and excellent scenery chewing, but by and large i’m a kid of the 80s/90s. I do however enjoy horror tv [...]

Elevator (2011)

I have a soft spot for indie flicks that take place in a single room/house/location. From a writing standpoint, it’s really hard to pull off an engaging, entertaining, film with limited characters and locations, hence why you’ll never see Transformers: The Cabin in the Woods. Films of this nature hinge on a believeable script and [...]
