By Melissa Antoinette Garza As I too often rent absolutely awful dreck that is cleverly disguised as a horror film, I’m always happy to find something that is actually quite good. I was looking on Amazon for recent horror entries and found RESOLUTION (2012). I had never heard of […]

The Initiation of Sarah (1978) – Made-For-TV Movie Review – Netflix Instant Watch
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Recently, I watched and reviewed the 2006 ABC Family remake of The Initiation of Sarah. I thought it was lackluster and only rated it a 3/10. In the review, I mentioned how the original was so much better. I hadn’t watched the original in some […]
Total Recall (2012) – Sci-Fi Remake Movie Review
By Melissa Garza If you talk to my brother and husband about the original Total Recall (1990), they act as though it is a sacred film that should have never been remade. I can’t say much to argue that belief, as there are definitely movies that I can’t stand were […]
Taken 2 (2008) – Action Sequel Movie Review
By Melissa Garza Liam Neeson is awesome. He is just great in everything he’s in. The fact that he was able to successfully portray Hanibal in The A-Team was more than impressive. I had never thought anyone other than the late great George Peppard could be Hannibal. I was proven […]
House at the End of the Street (2012) – Strange Supsense Filled Original Film
By Melissa Garza Both my husband and brother were uninterested in watching this film. I showed them the trailer and neither of them thought it was worth renting. So, here I am, alone in my apartment watching the movie by myself. The hubby is out buying groceries so it’s just […]
Homecoming (2009) – A Teenage Version of Stephen King’s Misery
By Melissa Garza Ever since I watched the trailer for the Carrie (2013) remake, I’ve been on a bit of a Stephen King kick. I broke out my DVDs and watched Maximum Overdrive (1986), Children of the Corn (1984) and Creepshow (1982). So, when I heard Homecoming (2009) was […]
Carrie – New Trailer and New News – “You Will Know Her Name”
By Melissa Garza I wonder how many other women over the age of 30 still enjoy watching a good teenage horror flick. Admittedly, I’m a fan of everything from Sleepaway Camp (1983) to Nightmare on Elm Street (1984); from The House on Sorority Row (1983) to Killer Party (1986). Even […]
The Initiation of Sarah (2006) – Horror Remake Review – Amazon Prime Instant Watch
By Melissa Antoinette Garza The Initiation of Sarah is a remake of the 1978 movie of the same name. The original is a very captivating and fun film. It was a typical old school made-for TV production, but back in the day “typical” translated into pretty damn good. There […]
A Perfect Getaway (2009) – Horror Whodunit Movie Review
By Melissa Garza This is one of those films that I wanted to see the moment it came out but never got around to it. I thought the premise looked cool and that the cast would be a perfect fit. It appeared to be a tense thriller with twists and […]
God Bless America (2011) – Dark Comedy Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I grew up loving Bobcat Goldthwait. I remember my older sister and I adored his films and his stand-up routine. Whether watching him in Hot to Trot, Shakes the Clown or the Police Academy sequels, Goldthwait always had an endearing quality that made each role […]
Cutting Class (1989) – Whodunit Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Garza Cutting Class is one of those movies that has a bad reputation yet is quite entertaining. Those who dislike old-school horror point out Brad Pitt’s appearance and poke fun. Admittedly, the film didn’t break any new ground. It came out at the end of the whodunit reign. […]
Texas Chainsaw 3D (2013) Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Garza I went into this with such low expectations. Every review I read was negative. Most comments I saw by viewers agreed with the critics. I was expecting something along the lines of the 2003 remake. Well, I’m glad that I didn’t listen to all the naysayers […]
