Reviewed by Melissa Garza When I was young, I would always root for the anti-hero. Villains when portrayed best would invoke a level of sympathy and at times, even understanding. Norman Bates, Frankenstein, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and The Phantom of the Opera are all great examples of […]

Domestic Disturbance (2001)
Reviewed by Geno McGahee Who doesn’t love John Travolta’s brand of overacting? Sure, I think that he wears his pants a wee bit too tight in certain films, but that does not take away from his skill. So, we know that we are probably going to be entertained by this […]
Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead (2008)
Reviewed by Geno McGahee In 2001, JOY RIDE came out and it was a very good film. It had a budget and all that jazz. It had relatively big names like Steve Zahn and that sometimes hot, sometimes average looking babe, Leelee Sobieski. It was a good movie. When I […]
The Resident (2011)

Beyond the Door (1974) – Horror Movie Review
Reviewed by Geno McGahee I saw the trailer for BEYOND THE DOOR and really wanted to see it. It looked creepy…very creepy and it takes a special sort of movie to scare me. Well, there are certain porn movies that creep me out but that’s a different sort of creeping….more […]

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
Reviewed by Melissa Garza “I’m coming for blood, no code of conduct, no law.” Logan (Hugh Jackman) Many of the critics panned the latest edition of the X-Men franchise. Some have labeled it predictable, cheesy, and of course the comic book crew are up in arms about how much it […]
The Devil’s Ground (2008)
Reviewed by Melissa Garza “Better keep quiet or the hog man will get you.” – Tammy (Maria Gruending) The film opens with Carrie (Daryl Hannah) on her way to Bangor when she nearly runs her car into Amy (Leah Gibson) who is standing in the middle of the street covered […]
Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988) – Horror Comedy Movie Review
Reviewed by Melissa Antoinette Garza “What in tarnation is going on here?” – Farmer Gene Green (Royal Dano) Though a cult film fan since childhood, I avoided this film for most of my 20s. I had bad memories of watching it over and over again when I was young because […]
Mirrors 2 (2010) – Horror Movie Review
Reviewed by Geno McGahee I didn’t like the first MIRRORS at all. I thought it was complete garbage, so I was hesitant to even watch a straight to DVD sequel, but I’m a horror fan, so I’m a glutton for punishment. MIRRORS 2 stars the talented Nick Stahl in the […]
House of Sin (2010)
Reviewed by Forris Day JR At first glance looking at the DVD cover for “House of Sin” I’m thinking this might be a perverse re-make of “Texas Chain Saw Massacre”. It has a cool dilapidated old farmhouse eerily lit on the top half of the cover similar to Texas Chainsaw […]

By Geno McGahee In 1974, THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE was released, based on the true story of Ed Gein, a man that killed a few people and made some furniture out of human skins and bones. For the record, Gein never chased anyone with a chainsaw or referred to himself […]
