The Expelled (2010) Horror Movie Review Amazon Streaming / Netflix Streaming
By Melissa Antoinette Garza First and foremost, this isn’t a slasher in any real sense. It’s advertised as one, but the closest horror sub-genre it fits into is home invasion though it takes place in a school. The film begins with Mr. Robert Anderson (David Schofield) being punched by […]
Unfriended (2014) – Facebook, Skype, Social Media PARANORMAL HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee There are plenty of examples of films that attempt a new approach and sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t. Found footage is a good example of an approach that took off and, when done right, can be effective. In the 2014 film “UNFRIENDED,” written by […]

By Geno McGahee “Someone with a cock this big raped Angela Russo and threw her in the river.” – Inspector Di Salvo (Fabio Testi) Whenever I get an Italian horror film to watch, I know that I am going to get something that is, at the minimum, interesting. The 1978 […]
Dark Places (2015) -Horror Movie Review – Satanic Panic Returns
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I’ve been a Charlize Theron fan for years. She doesn’t go for easy and really delves into the characters she portrays. I had never heard of Dark Places nor had I read the novel. I was actually surprised that it went straight-to-streaming. Not only was Theron […]

Mother’s Day Massacre (2007) – SLASHER TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee There are a lot of films that surround a special day. We have HALLOWEEN, MY BLOODY VALENTINE, CHRISTMAS EVIL, BLACK CHRISTMAS and NEW YEARS EVIL. So, I expected MOTHER’S DAY MASSACARE, an indie horror film, to be about that holiday, but it wasn’t. It did concern motherhood, […]

By Geno McGahee Rod Steiger was just an incredible actor and he brings his A game to the 1968 crime/thriller “NO WAY TO TREAT A LADY.” The film surrounds a master of disguise (not Dana Carvey, thank god) that is going around strangling women, leading to a manhunt, headed up […]
Spring (2014) – Lou Taylor Pucci & Nadia Hilker HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Melissa Ann Spring is a simple, yet beautiful, movie that explores a very non-traditional love story and stars Lou Taylor Pucci (Evil Dead 2013) and Nadia Hilker. Lou Taylor Pucci is an actor that I always enjoy seeing on screen and I had the pleasure of meeting him recently. […]
The Lazarus Effect (2015) – Horror Film Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza This movie is not one to see because it’s unique, interesting or scary. It is only worth seeing to view what great actors can do with a mediocre script and at times painful dialogue. The film begins with a pair of scientists and a few […]
