By Melissa Antoinette Garza The original Insidious is a modern classic. It was unique, scary and hit a chord with traditional horror fans. The sequel was a big disappointment with the only saving grace being Lin Shaye. I didn’t know what to expect as the previews for the third […]

The Equalizer (2014) – Denzel Washington CRIME THRILLER MOVIE DVD REVIEW
By Wayne C. Rogers Directed by Antoine Fuqua For me, The Equalizer, starring Denzel Washington was probably the best all around action movie of the year, just edging out John Wick with Keanu Reeves in it. The reason it beat out John Wick was because this is also a thinking […]
Stephen King’s A Good Marriage (2014) – HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Wayne C. Rogers Starring Joan Allen and Anthony LaPaglia Directed by Peter Askin Based on a screenplay by Stephen King I was certainly intrigued by the trailers for the film of A Good Marriage. I’d read the novella in Stephen King’s collection, Full Dark and No Stars, and loved […]

We Are Still Here (2015) – Barbara Crampton Paranormal HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Melissa Ann Haunted houses are one of my favorite sub-genres when it comes to horror movies. Unfortunately, this is an area that has been lacking for some time. Many of the recent ghost movies are filled with cheap jump scares and are mediocre at best. I’m always on the […]

Some Guy Who Kills People (2011) – Horror Feel-Good Movie Review – Amazon Instant Watch
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Recently, I started watching Grounded for Life on Netflix. I loved the show when it first aired because of one reason: Kevin Corrigan’s portrayal of Eddie. Eddie is one of the sexiest characters of all time. He was the brother of the main character but he […]
The Ray Bradbury Theater: THE SCREAMING WOMAN (1986) – Drew Barrymore HORROR TV REVIEW

Treehouse (2014) – Monsters in Woods HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee “It’s like they’re playing with us.” – Killian Every once in a while (very often), I am a victim of impulse buys. This happens mostly with horror movies. I’m a sucker for an interesting synopsis and good cover art. That is why I spent 10 bucks on […]
