By Melissa Antoinette Garza More than a hundred years after the legendary Edgar Allan Poe’s death, his written word still has the ability to petrify. When you mix in the brilliance of horror icons George Romero and Dario Argento the end result is a masterpiece. Two classic Poe tales are […]

Video Violence (1987) – LOW BUDGET FUN HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee If you grew up and witnessed the rise and fall of the mom and pop video store, you are really going to appreciate VIDEO VIOLENCE. It has that 1980’s straight to video horror look and it really captures that special time. It had one check in its […]
Leprechaun (1993) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Garza None will claim that Leprechaun changed the face of horror or is worthy of the same recognition that the Halloween films, the Friday the 13th movies, or the Nightmare on Elm St. series is given, however that doesn’t mean that it isn’t an entertaining ride with its […]
Spare Parts (1979) – HOSPITAL HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee I got this movie in a 50 pack of horror flicks for only 15 bucks. You can’t beat that with a stick. Anyway, this movie, which was originally released as “Fleisch,” begins with a newlywed couple enjoying each other and looking for a hotel to enjoy each […]
Bloody Murder 2: Closing Camp (2003) – SLASHER HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee In 2000, BLOODY MURDER was released and it was heavily inspired by FRIDAY THE13th. In this follow up, BLOODY MURDER 2: CLOSING CAMP, we have a much higher production and more focused effort. They stepped up their game from top to bottom. We begin with Tracy (Katy […]
Frankenstein (1931) – Universal Classic Monster HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Melissa Garza One of the most honored and respected horror films of all time, Frankenstein is a timeless classic that delivers as well now as it did upon its release over seventy five years ago. Dr. Henry Frankenstein (Colin Clive), a scientist suffering from a serious god complex, decides […]
Phantasm IV: Oblivion (1998) – HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee The Tall Man is back in this fourth and probably final entry of the Phantasm series. This movie has so much potential, and half of the film delivers, but the other half is plagued by bad acting, annoying and senseless dialogue, and distracting and meaningless scenes, featuring […]
Twilight Zone The Movie (1983) – ANTHOLOGY HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Twilight Zone was probably the best television show of all time. To remake several episodes and turn them into a movie sounds like a guaranteed flop. After all, it is a difficult task to compete with perfection. Those who remade “Psycho” learned that lesson the hard […]
The Evil Dead (1981) – HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Melissa Antoinette Garza A horror cult phenomena, THE EVIL DEAD (1981) spawned sequels, crossed genres and even inspired video games. It stands the test of time and remains one of the scariest pictures ever made. The movie opens with five friends vacationing in a cabin located deep in the […]
Chillers (1987) – HORROR ANTHOLOGY MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee Troma is known for releasing absolute garbage. Their movies have set the standard for bad horror movies, but the law of averages had to catch up with the company. Chillers is not a good movie by any stretch of the imagination, but it is not as horrible […]
The Last Exorcism (2010) – HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee I typically enjoy the fake documentary horror film. I liked THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT and CLOVERFIELD, and if it’s done right, you get to suspend your disbelief and really enjoy it as if it were real. In THE LAST EXORCISM, we have another one of these fake […]
House of 1000 Corpses (2003) – ROB ZOMBIE HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee Heavy Metal superstar, Rob Zombie, puts together a tribute of sorts to the greatest horror film of all time: “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.” In this tale, we have a foursome on the road in search of a local legend, known as “Dr. Satan.” Along the way, they […]
