Upside Down – Review
Juan Diego Solanas directs what appears to be his first English feature film, written by himself, filmed entirely in Montreal Quebec. Upside Down is a fictional love story set in a fantastical world that defies the science of gravity. Adam is an ordinary boy who lives on one of two planets, joined by opposite gravities.

American Mary – Review
Jen and Sylvia Soska write and direct this modern horror where a medial student uses her skills to exact revenge on those who’ve harmed her. American Mary is a haunting vision of surgical body manipulation that stays with you long after the film ends. The story follows a talented medical student, Mary Mason, as she

Sleeping Beauty (2011) – Review
Not a Sleeping Beauty for kids! I’m not quite sure what director Julie Leigh was going for here, but if you ever wanted to see Emily Brown (Babydoll from Sucker Punch) naked, this film will fill that need to boredom. Sleeping Beauty is, as far as I can figure, an art house picture that’s done

Deadheads – Review
With the zombie romance/comedy Warm Bodies coming soon, I though I’d venture into the zom-com genre, actually a sub genre that seems to be growing in popularity with films like Zombieland, Shaun of the Dead, and Fido. Brothers, Brett Pierce and Drew T. Pierce take the zom-com on a road trip as two cognisant, speaking

Sinister – Review
Scott Derrickson, director of The Exorcism of Emily Rose, returns to the genre with what is sure to be a new seasonal scarefest ranking up there with the SAWs and Paranormal Activitys that haunt the Halloween circuit every year. Found footage helps a true-crime novelist realize how and why a family was murdered in his

A Cadaver Christmas – Review
First, I want to thank Level 33 for sending me screeners of their latest features. They are also sending me a copy of A Cadaver Christmas to give away FREE to one of my lucky readers. Watch the trailer. One of the characters is The Janitor…. list the other 5 in the comments section below.

V/H/S – Review
V/H/S is another “found footage” film that finds a nice fit within the Horror anthology template. The quality of footage varies from story to story which adds a unique quality of realism to the package as a whole. The only 2 directors of the bunch that I recognize are Glenn McQuaid (I Sell the Dead)

[rec]3 Genesis – Review
Paco Plaza returns to direct the third installment to his pseudo zombie [rec] series. This time around Plaza with cinematographer Pablo Rosso shake up the recipe proving that they’re not one trick ponies! It’s Clara and Koldo’s wedding day. Unbeknownst to them, the world is falling apart and a supernatural infection is spreading. During their

Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World – Review
Warning – There are spoilers in this review. Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is the directorial debut of Lorene Scafaria, who is also responsible for writing the screenplay. A romantic comedy/drama about finding love in the wake of disaster… the ultimate disaster. Seeking a Friend is a breath of fresh air

Rock of Ages – Review
Choreographer and Director Adam Shankman (Hairspray) brings us the big screen adaptation of Chris D’Arienzo’s Broadway production of the same name. Rock of Ages is a fun time capsule of 80′s rock. Set in 1987 Los Angeles, Drew and Sherrie are two young people chasing their dreams in the big city. When they meet, it’s

Dark Shadows – Review
Tim Burton resurrects the 60s gothic soap opera about the rich Collins family of Collinsport, Maine and the arrival of Barnabas, a distant cousin who happens to be a vampire. Personally I’m not a huge fan of Burton’s style, and even though Dark Shadows doesn’t quite feel like a Burton film, it still meanders a

Father’s Day – Review
In some circles, one would say Troma has a definite winner here when compared to prior releases. Father’s Day is a trashy grindhouse calibre film that surpasses most of Troma’s low budget efforts, and takes us into a dark disturbing, yet surprisingly funny as hell cheezy gorefest. Ahab, a man obsessed with exacting a brutal,

Snow White and the Huntsman – Review
Finally, Snow White and the Huntsman is in theaters. Directed by Rupert Sanders, Disney’s beloved character is given a gritty twist that really isn’t appropriate for younger ages. You would think with that statement I’m gonna shower this film with praise, I have after all placed this in my top 5 most anticipated films of

Men In Black III – Review
Barry Sonnenfeld returns for the third and probably last installment to the popular Men in Black franchise. Men in Black III takes a comfortable stroll through a familiar park where everything feels just right. Sonnenfeld, and of course the writers, don’t take any risks with the characters or the very formulaic structure of the series.
