By Melissa Antoinette Garza CLASS OF 1999 (1990) is a sci-fi movie that I always end up throwing on at parties. If you have a group of people that have different interests, tastes and thresholds for the bizarre, CLASS OF 1999 is a solid choice. It’s a fun, popcorn movie […]

Vampyres (1974) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza On a scale from 1-10, this movie is rated yummy! VAMPYRES (1974) opens with two gorgeous naked women, Fran (Marianne Morris) and Miriam (Anulka Dziubinska), sharing some wonderful experiences in bed together. An unseen man, let’s call him Van Killjoy, comes in and blows them […]
TRIANGLE (2009) – HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Melissa Antoinette Garza TRIANGLE begins with Jess (Melissa George) clutching her special needs child closely telling him that he just had a bad dream. Her emotion conveys that something else is going on entirely, and just like that TRIANGLE begins the ride. Jess is a single mother who takes […]
The Craft (1996) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza When THE CRAFT came out in 1996, I saw it in the theater with three other people, who loved it. I liked it. It’s silly. It’s fun. I think it was far more influential on THE RAGE: CARRIE 2 (1999) than the original CARRIE (1976) ever […]
Beyond the Darkness (1979) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Third Grade Me in Class Giving A Report of Something I Enjoy: “BEYOND THE DARKNESS is something I enjoy. It’s about a taxidermist who loves his fiance so much that he brings her dead body back home….” That was all I was able to […]
Dr. Caligari (1989) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I love crazy, dark,weird and sexy. Dr. Caligari is an strange piece of indie cinema sexploitation that though has a following, doesn’t quite get the respect it deserves. I feel like this is a movie that was only rented from video stores by 13-year-old […]
Dark City (1998) – Sci-Fi Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I’ve been holding off on reviewing DARK CITY (1998) because I know eventually I’ll run out of Richard O’Brien projects to review. That thought makes me sad as he’s legitimately my favorite topic to discuss.. Nonetheless, I’m definitely in the mood to see Jennifer Connelly […]
Frogs (1972) – Nature Attacks HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee The 1970s loved nature-based horror movies. Movies like GRIZZLY and DAY OF THE ANIMALS were popular and they could be scary. The animals in those films can kick your ass, but they had to work extra hard to try to make frogs scary. I remember watching this […]
Legacy of Satan (1974) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Satanic cults of the 1970s film variety are all camp and craze. I love them. LEGACY OF SATAN (1974) opens during a black mass where a High Priestess (Deborah Horlen) conducts an insane ceremony. A woman is changed on an upside down pentagram in a […]
MARK OF THE WITCH (1970) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza After watching women vampires destroy toxic masculinity in THE BLOOD SPATTERED WIFE (1972) I’m still in the mood for some hardcore, punk rock dames to play rough with the boys. Sadly, my attempt has failed and I’ve ended up with a very tame and timid […]
CHRISTINE (1983) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I’ve always liked freak/geek revenge films. It’s a strange sub-genre that includes movies like SLAUGHTER HIGH (1986) TRICK OR TREAT (1986), SHOCK-EM DEAD (1991) and CARRIE (1976). John Carpenter’s CHRISTINE (1983) is my favorite of the bunch. Arnie Cunningham (Keith Gordon) is a nerdy […]
The Pyx (1973) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Movies about devil worshiping cults always interest me. When you delve into those within the sub-genre that were made in the 1970s, you’re nearly guaranteed a good flick. THE PYX (1973) begins when a man calls the police after seeing drug addicted prostitute, […]
