Jesse Goes to Comiccon – Day 3 Sunday

Day 3 Sunday the final day of Ottawa Comiccon 2013, was the shortest day and will also be my shortest post. Gillian Anderson was the only Q&A I attended which was at 10:15, just 15 minutes after the con opened. Not only did I get in right away, but just like all the other Q&As

[rec]4: Apocalypse -Teaser

The [rec] series of films are docu-style horror films much like The Blair Witch Project. Over the years since TBWP, the style has been used by many directors, some successfully, others not so much. [rec] is a Spanish series that in my opinion got it right. [rec]4 is supposedly the final chapter in the series

Aftershock – Trailer

Chilean director Nicolas Lopez and Eli Roth (who also stars in it) bring us Aftershock, a film taking the natural disaster theme to the next level. While in an underground Chilean night club, a group of tourists are trapped in the middle of a massive earthquake. If the earthquake wasn’t enough to cope with, and

Grabbers – Review

Irish director Jon Wright brings us a genre film that is both fun and very well made. I’ve been following a lot of the recent flics from the UK lately and have found that there’s a healthy surge in the sci-fi/horror genre. Grabbers is an excellent example, bringing monsters, gore and a few laughs along

Evil Dead (2013) – Review

Fede Alvarez proves he has the chops to handle the viscerally raw energy of today’s horror, re-imagining a cherished classic among genre fans. Evil Dead was director Sam Raimi’s baby that pushed the boundaries of shock horror way back in 1981. Alvarez takes the framework of Raimi’s The Evil Dead and breathes new life into

World War Z – Trailer #2

The second trailer has dropped for World War Z. an adaptation of the popular novel by Max Brooks. This trailer has a fair amount of new content. “United Nations employee Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) traverses the world in a race against time to stop the Zombie pandemic that is toppling armies and governments, and threatening

Girls Against Boys – Review

Austin Chick brings us yet another take on the female vengeance story where girls take up arms to deal out their own brand of justice on the sexually aggressive male population. Girls Against Boys feels tired and pointless on the surface, but there’s a deeper psychological thread struggling to keep the film together. Unfortunately even

Stitches – Review

Conor McMahon (Dead Meat) directs this horror slapstick about a clown that comes back from the dead to haunt those who took his life during a fatal party mishap. Stitches is a laughable gorefest that is comically twisted and fun, with a killer that may just end up being one of this generations slasher icons!

Spiders 3D – Review

Tibor Takacs directs this (what I’m assuming) straight to video film about mutated space spiders stalking the streets of New York. Spiders is definitely a step up from the average Asylum type movies, but not much. After a small piece of a Soviet space station crashes into a New York City subway tunnel, a species

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters – Review

After the cult hit Dead Sno, I anxiously awaited writer/director Tommy Wirkola’s next genre film. Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters is that film. Wirkola’s reminds me of a younger Raimi with his over the top action horror. There’s no asking “hey, is that plausible?”, nope, it’s more like “hey, that’s f’n awesome!” His films aren’t

Spiders 3D – Trailer

After a Soviet space station crashes into a New York City subway tunnel, a species of poisonous spiders is discovered, and soon they mutate to gigantic proportions and wreak havoc on the city. If you know me, you know I love giant “whatever” films… yes, even those Corman and Asylum films that are so bad

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
