By Melissa Antoinette Garza The best part of writing horror reviews is when a low-budget gem is found. Any true fan of the genre would agree that the amount of money spent on the production matters far less than the plot, characters and pace. If the story is solid, […]

Curse of Chucky (2013) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I was so excited when I heard that Chucky had returned and that Brad Dourif was still voicing him. I am such a diehard Chucky fan. I even loved Seed of Chucky (2004). There is just something amazing about that doll. My one worry with […]
Lords of Salem (2012) – A Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I remember the first time I saw House of 1000 Corpses (2003) in the movie theater. It blew me away and I thought Rob Zombie was going to resurrect horror. The film reminded me of the old 70s and 80s movies that made me fall […]
Twixt (2011) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Twixt is a low-budget, artistic and unusual movie written and directed by highly-acclaimed filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola. Our main character, Hall Baltimore (Val Kilmer) was once a famous horror author who wrote a series of novels about witches. After his daughter Vicki (Fiona Medaris) tragically […]
The Conjuring (2013) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Over the last few years, I have been lulled into a safe secure sleep with new horror movies. With the exception of home invasion films which always scare me, I have not been truly scared by a mainstream Hollywood movie in years. Even when I’ve […]
Alison’s Birthday (1981) –HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee I love cult movies. Love them. If there are evil people in robes chanting, I am there. It’s difficult to go wrong when you put people in robes unless it’s your grandmother in a bathrobe and her junk is hanging out all over the place. In 1981, […]
The Last Exorcism Part 2 (2013) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Without question, there are so many classic horror productions that have spawned inferior sequels. John Carpenter’s Halloween (1978), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), Nightmare on Elm St. (1984) and Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984) are just a few examples. Though some of the films that […]
Il Vangelo Secondo Taddeo (2006) – Italian Low Budget Horror At Its Best
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I have always had a certain fondness of Italian horror. They have brought us so many of the greats: Demons (1985), Suspiria (1977), Let Sleeping Corpses Lie (1974), Tenebrae (1982), the list is never-ending. The style and tension of a Dario Argento or Mario Bava classic […]
Goodnight, God Bless (1987) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza My brother found out about Goodnight, God Bless aka Lucifer from a book about old-school horror films. Neither of us had ever seen it or even heard of it before. As we typically either own or have watched every 80s horror movie made, this was […]
Motel Hell (1980) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza For years, I thought I had seen this film and hated it. I never revisited it again and never really thought about it. Well, it turns out; it was an entirely different movie I was thinking of. Unable to decide what to watch, I rented the […]
Solstice (2008) Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I went to Big Lots today and was looking through the DVDs when I saw a movie I had never heard of. It was made by the director of the Blair Witch Project and had notable celebrities in it, so I decided I’d give it […]
Devil’s Prey (2001) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza This is one of those movies I have read the synopsis of a thousand times, but never bothered to watch. I think I even own a couple copies that I found dirt cheap. I do that often. I’ll buy a movie, never watch it, and […]
