The Outing (1987) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza The Outing (1987) aka The Lamp is a lesser known horror entry that borderlines on being good, but is too confused to make it a classic. It certainly has its moments, but there are so many elements that are left unanswered and too many scenes […]
Insidious Chapter 2 (2013) – Horror Movie Sequel Review – Redbox Rental
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I had been anticipating this film since it came out. For the most part, I love James Wan’s work. The dark action film Death Sentence, followed by his horror movies Sinister, the first Insidious, and especially The Conjuring were fantastic. His directing skills in those films […]

Thr3e (2006) – Horror/Suspense Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza A few weeks ago, while I was in Georgia there was a buy-two-get-one-free horror DVD sale at Movie Stop. My awesomely cool and single brother-n-law Joey bought me a gift card for my birthday so I got to go a little crazy and get a […]
The Cabining (2013) – A Comedy/Horror Film Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza A new or at least revisited trend among horror movies is combining meta writing with comedic elements. This can and has been done successfully in films like A Cabin in the Woods (2012), Shaun of the Dead (2005) and Club Dread (2004). There are times when […]

Xmas Tales (2012) Low Budget Horror Anthology Review – Rent or Buy on Vimeo
