Creepy and exciting movie about some shipwrecked lead to remains of a deserted ghost ship that’s been missing for more than 40 years , since WWII, it is packed with good actors and slick direction . The film concerns about…
Shark Night 3D (2011)
Sara (Sara Paxton) and her college friends travel to her lake house on the Louisiana Gulf for a wild weekend of beer pong, sunbathing, and death by shark. Be mindful of the PG-13 rating because, if you go into this…
The Colony (2013)
The filmmakers decided to combine a post-apocalyptic adventure with a zombie picture, and it was a pretty good idea. Here, Earth has entered a second ice age, killing most of the human race, but scattered outposts of survivors remain in…
Tourist Trap (1979)
1979’s Tourist Trap is a clever, unique B thriller that stands out as one of the best of it’s kind. Travellers stop at a lonely wax museum where the owner’s mannequins are a little too life-like for comfort. While the…
Phantasm (1979)
After the death of Tommy (Bill Cone), who was stabbed by a woman at the cemetery, Jody (Bill Thornbury) and his friend Reggie (Reggie Bannister) attend the funeral at the Morningside funeral home. Jody is followed by his teenage brother…
The Brood (1979)
The Brood juxtaposes divorce, anxiety with parent-child relationships, with a story that is basically crazy vengeance that turns to ugly territory sooner than later. Like Scanners, it’s only gruesome in short spurts (some pun intended), and while it’s noticeable Cronenberg…
The Shifting Sands Of Movie Exhibition
I believe in movies, I believe in the joy, entertainment and the distraction they can provide audiences. What I do not believe in is the industry that has built up around this once fabulous industry. I believe strongly that chickens…
Patrick (1978)

The Evil (1978)
Richard Crenna and Joanna Pettet star as CJ and Caroline Arnold, a couple that has just bought the old Vargas Mansion, and have invited some friends and former patients from CJ’s psychiatric group (? I know, I thought it was…
Martin (1978)
George A. Romero did an outstanding job with this movie. It is not your usual vampire flick. Martin can walk in sunlight, garlic does not work, crosses don’t work, and he does not even have fangs. He simply cuts his…
Demon Seed (1977)
Demon Seed is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Dean R. Koontz. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first saw this film. Needless to say, I was impressed. Whilst the idea of a megalomaniacal…
The Car (1977)
I’ve seen “The Car” several times over the years. I am a big fan of horror movies and while this is not exactly a “classic” by any means, I still enjoyed it. The plot is basically a car which drives…
Savage Weekend (1979)
Urbanites spend weekend at a country house where they are menaced by some weird locals and one masked killer. If it were not for the dragging pace of this B horror flick, it would have actually been a much more…
The Town That Dreaded Sundown (1976)
Set in the late 1940’s Texarkana, Arkanasas. The residents of a small peaceful town are terrorized by a mysterious hooded killer. Who’s been stalking and killing random victims during the night. When the police from the town are hopeless and…
Silent Night, Bloody Night (1972)
I love discovering new-to-me American horror flicks of the 1970s. These independent, backwoods-shot productions usually showcase some then-startling gore effects, as well as creepy atmosphere and a sense of gritty realism usually absent from the slicker Hollywood productions. SILENT NIGHT,…
The Beast Must Die (1974)
The film concerns on Tom Newcliff (Calvin Lockhart) , a wealthy businessman , great hunter and sportsman living with his wife (M.Clark) and his foreman (Anton Driffing) at a luxurious mansion . He has pursued and hunted all kind species…
Dr. Phibes Rises Again (1972)
Some feel that this sequel to 1970’s The Abominable Dr. Phibes surpassed the original film with its all-out camp elan, wild-and-woolly murder sequences (it’s hard to imagine anything more skin-crawlingly gruesome than the Scorpion Throne sequence in this film), exquisite…
The Tall Man (2012)
Making its Stateside debut, Pascal Laugier’s “The Tall Man” was the grand finale to a spectacular constellation of fine horror films. “The Tall Man” however, is not like a “PSYCHO” or “SE7EN” in which there are creative forms of torture…
The Outlaw (1943)
I would have preferred if there was no plot at all – Jane Russell is gorgeous, and Howard Hughes’ meticulous efforts to emphasise her considerable bust make her quite a thing to look at. I would have preferred to see…
