Happy Camp (2014) – HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee Horror has been in this found footage holding pattern for some time. They are easier to make and take less thought than any other sort of film. Put a bunch of people together, make small talk, and then have the money shot. In HAPPY CAMP we have […]

Turner and Hooch (1989) – Tom Hanks and Dog MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee Tom Hanks gets a lot of credit for his acting ability, but that credit came far after 1989, when he was known for Bosom Buddies, mostly. He was a budding comedic star and it is common to team up an actor like this with an animal. So, […]

The Perfect House (2012) – Sleepaway Camp Reunion & Horror Anthology Review
By Geno McGahee One of the most memorable horror movies from the 1980s was SLEEPAWAY CAMP. The ending with the manhood of the female lead being exposed left the impression that has rocked many, but that film was interesting up to that point. The stars of SLEEPAWAY CAMP, Jonathan Tiersten […]
The Sacrament (2013) – A Retelling of Jonestown without a single mention of Jonestown
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Prior to renting the film for $6.95 off Amazon, I did a little research as I didn’t want to waste the cash if it was going to be awful. I found out Eli Roth produced it and overall I think he’s a talented guy. I’m […]
