Bong of the Dead (2011)
Alright. I’ll let you into a little secret. Ready? I’ve never smoked pot. Really, I haven’t. Why? That, is none of your business. But, I feel that before I review a pothead movie you understand that I’m a square. That’s it, I’ve said it. Want another secret? Okay, here it goes. I’m a gore hound [...]
Hobo with a Shotgun (2011)
I liked it but I didn’t love it. I did write a full length review however. You can read it at Paracinema where I am now a contributor! Gore: High Nudity: mild Overall: 7/10
Psycho Holocaust (2009)
I dig DIY horror. There’s something special about grabbing some folks and a video camera and making a movie. No holds barred, no outside interference just pure film making with no compromise. Keep that in mind for this review… Psycho Holocaust is about a group of friends that go up to an isolated lake to [...]
Street Trash (1987)
I had the rare opportunity to watch Street Trash about 15 years ago on vhs. I found it at a short lived video store and judging by the cover art, I was in for a treat. What I got was a poorly transferred copy that looked like someone had actually wiped their ass with the [...]
Midnight Son (2011)
I was invited to this year’s Cinequest Film Festival in San Jose to catch this year’s crop of genre films. I caught The Dead and Midnight Son on their opening nights and they both gave me food for thought. Midnight Son is about a 24 year old dude with a dead end loser job and [...]
The Dead (2011)
Devotees to Toxic Graveyard already know I’m sick of zombie flicks. Sick of em. I love the concept of zombies, I love zombie carnage and gore but no one is innovating anymore. Zombie film makers today are doing nothing more then shoveling the same pile of shit script into our mouths, expecting us to swallow [...]
Mold! The Movie (2011)
Ahh there’s nothing like a homegrown grass roots indie flick. No compromise, no pandering, just exactly what the filmmakers wanted to make. The Nevermore Film Festival winner for best feature, Mold The Movie is just that and surely deserves it’s most recent award. Mold! is set in 1984 at a military science lab. Narcoterrorists are [...]
The Last Lovecraft (2010)
I’m a big fan of H.P. Lovecraft. The man was a genius and a creative juggernaut whose Cthulu mythos still live on today. Unfortunately any direct representation of his literature on film has always been lackluster compared to the original material. The Last Lovecraft takes from the mythos and pays tribute to the man while [...]
Population Zero (2010)
I’ve only read one other book from Wrath James White, Succulent Prey, and it’s the most hardcore horror fiction I’ve ever read. As I was reading it I kept thinking, there’s no way he can keep this level of gore up for long but each time i turned the page my mind was filled with [...]
The Horde (2009)
Before I begin this review let me state for the record that I’m very tired of zombies. Very. The zombie is the single most over used villain in horror films and literature. I used to love them. Nothing like some classic gut munching zombie action right? Lately though there has been little innovation and too [...]
