Reviewed by Melissa Antoinette Garza Possession films make up both some of the best and worst horror movies ever made. Classics like THE EXORCIST (1973) and BURNT OFFERINGS (1976) have provided some of the scariest moments ever filmed. One of the most famous, “Evil Dead” not only stands the test […]

My Demon Lover (1987) – Horror Comedy Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza One of my favorite movies growing up was a little known gem called MY DEMON LOVER (1987). It isn’t Academy Award material, although more often than not, I prefer movies that are not considered the crème of the crop. Cult films with strange plots and weird […]
Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977) – MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee In 1973, one of the most influential and terrifying horror movies, THE EXORCIST came out and immediately impacted the public. People were reported to be fleeing the cinemas in fear, and so when a sequel to the film came out, people were eager to see it. I […]
John Carpenter’s The Ward (2010) Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza The great John Carpenter came back with a full length feature on a modest $10 million dollar budget. I would personally like to know why I haven’t heard about it until now! I don’t recall any mainstream advertising like for Sam Raimi’s horror comeback in “Drag […]

Mortuary (2005) – Horror Movie Review
Horror icon, Tobe Hooper directs this low-budget, under-appreciated horror gem. There have been many who trash this film. However after watching it, I must say, that those who hate it have got to be the same people that gave “Saw II” and “Saw III” stellar reviews. MORTUARY (2005) is an […]
Beyond the Door (1974) – Horror Movie Review
Reviewed by Geno McGahee I saw the trailer for BEYOND THE DOOR and really wanted to see it. It looked creepy…very creepy and it takes a special sort of movie to scare me. Well, there are certain porn movies that creep me out but that’s a different sort of creeping….more […]
Wishmaster (1997) – Horror Movie Review
Reviewed by Geno McGahee Many times, the purpose of a horror film is to create an icon…something that can be repackaged and sold over and over again. FRIDAY THE 13TH had Jason Voorhees and it sprouted many sequels, making a boatload of money, and then there was Michael Myers and […]
