By Melissa Antoinette Garza I’ve talked in other reviews about my eccentric taste in men. Vincent Price is definitely one of my massive celebrity crushes. He had class, a unique way of speaking, a strong sensuality and a debonair style that makes me long for the days when men had […]

The Hunters (2011) – Movie Review
Reviewed by Melissa Garza When I first started watching The Hunters with my husband and brother, I thought was in store for an out-an-out slasher. The back of the box professes that a group of kids decide to venture into a location that was always off limits to them […]
Red Mist (2008) Movie Review
Reviewed by Melissa Garza A commonality shared by many horror productions is a bullied lead character seeking revenge on those who wronged him.

The Telling (2009) – ANTHOLOGY HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Horror anthologies are one of the most fun types of films in the genre. THE MONSTER CLUB, VAULT OF HORROR, TALES FROM THE CRYPT, and ASYLUM are a few of the greatest of all time. When I rented THE TELLING, I didn’t have high expectations. I definitely […]

Caveat (2011) -Movie Review – Thrilling Horror & Fighting Females
By Geno McGahee I see a lot of micro budget films, and most of the time, they are rather bad, but I still find enjoyment in most of them. Most of the time, there is a story that needs to be told by the writer but they tend to lack […]
Parents (1989)
Reviewed by Melissa Garza When I was a child, I thought the cult favorite “Parents” was a cool freaky little flick. It was scary enough to give me nightmares but kept me entertained enough not to change the channel. Then, I was too young to understand how complex and intelligent […]
