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 [...]
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 [...]
Twilight of the Dark Master (1997)
As a kid I used to love violent anime. I wasn’t a huge anime fan but whenever I could rent some from a local mom & pop or catch some on Sci-Fi, I was a happy camper. I especially enjoy late 80′s to late 90′s anime, the time before CGI was omnipresent in the genre. [...]
Ruthless (2010)
I love extreme horror. I love being grossed out, shocked, and revolted. Honestly, I just like to feel something. So often I read novels and anthologies and never really feel anything. Sure, they’re entertaining but beyond killing some of my free time they don’t give me anything to take with me. Ruthless made me feel [...]
Vampire Girl Vs Frankenstein Girl (2010)
I love me some J-Gore. I’ve reviewed several films from the current wave and I’m always hungry for more. After the disappointing Samurai Princess and the laughable Sukebanboy, we finally get a film that can proudly stand next to Tokyo Gore Police and The Machine Girl, and of course its from the same guys that [...]
Rockula (1990)
Bad 80′s flicks made up the bulk of my viewing as a kid and I’m still drawn to the totally rad decade. Quite frankly I feel that I’ve run the well dry and have since moved on to the forgotten decade of the 90s, Rockula is a film technically made in the 1990′s but serves [...]
Burning Bright (2010)
Rarely do films with outlandish synopsi turn out to be any good. Sure it has potential for being so bad it’s good, (Shark Attack 3 anyone?) but never are they actually good. Burning Bright broke the mold and gives all us funky film lovers something to hope for and aspire to. Set in the dirty [...]
