By Melissa Garza The early to mid-90s are known for notoriously bad horror movies. Whether talking about the straight-to-video sequels of classics from the 70s and 80s or the “sexy” thrillers with awful TV actors, the first part of the decade was an overall big disappointment. It wasn’t until Scream […]

Where Evil Lives (1991) – ANTHOLOGY HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee Claude Akins is a great actor and gives his last performance that was a little bit less than chilling in WHERE EVIL LIVES, an anthology from 1991. Akins plays “Jack Devlin” a caretaker of the “Spencer House,” that is obviously digging a grave from the get go, […]
The Dark Night of the Scarecrow (1981) – Made for TV HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Chris Summerfield The movie begins with Bubba Ritter(Larry Drake), a 30something giant of a man with a mental illness, building daisy chains with a very young, Marylee Williams (Tonya Crowe) all looking innocent, though being secretly watched by Otis Hazelrigg (Charles Durning) the town postman, who seems to have […]
Wishmaster (1997) – HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
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 Freddy […]
Legacy of Blood (1971) – HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee I love overdramatic horror movies and I have found no other film nearly as overdramatic as this 1970’s gem, Legacy of Blood. Written and directed by Carl Monson, we see four relatives moving into a mansion in hopes to inherit the wealth of their deceased father. Every […]
Blood, Boobs & Beast: Don Dohler Documentary Review
By Geno McGahee “Ironically enough, I don’t watch horror films. I don’t like them.” – Joe Ripple In the 1980s, video stores were everywhere and I would gather whatever money I could and find my way there to rent horror films. In a mom and pop shop, I found a […]
Black Christmas (2006) – REMAKE HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Melissa Garza Despite the fact that this is a remake of one of my favorite horror films of all time, I decided to go in with an optimistic attitude and the hopes of something worth watching. I would have settled for anything decent. Needless to say, I left the […]
Black Christmas (1974) – HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee This has to be one of the greatest horror films of all time…a slasher that actually frightens you. Bob Clark directs this masterpiece, and it should be noted that he also directed and co-wrote another classic from 1972: “Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things.” In Black Christmas, […]
Roman (2006): Low Budget HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Leeann Aubuchon- Swimm “Roman” is a low budget independent thriller/drama directed Angela Bettis and written by Lucky McKee. In addition to writing the movie, McKee also plays the lead character Roman. Roman is a lonely rather socially inept thirty-something year old guy. His life is quite boring and his […]
Savage Harvest (1994) – Evil Dead HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee A lot of Native Americans are either responsible for troubles within a horror movie or are there to help the people fighting an evil force. If you have problems with natural problems like the Sasquatch or some other beast of the woods, you will often find one […]
Play Misty for Me (1971) – Clint Eastwood HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee I’m not going to lie. I am a Clint Eastwood fan. He does not give me “East Wood,” but he is one of my favorite actors, and he always delivers. He always picks his roles well and never fails to deliver a powerful performance, which is certainly […]
