Feature Lists

Welcome horror fans to our top recommended list of great horror films that SHOULD be on bluray. We realize that keeping this to 10, was a struggle, however the list still represents 10 films that aren’t on high resolution yet!!??. I do welcome readers to comment more below in the hope that distributors read this piece and are ambitious enough …

10.) Grace (2009) directed by Paul Solet (Bullet Head, 2017); starring Jordan Ladd, Samantha Ferris, Gabrielle Rose and Stephen Park. A pregnant woman named Madeline (Jordan Ladd, Robot Chicken series) loses her husband and near-term baby in a car accident in this bizarre indie flick from the late 2000’s. She decides to wait for natural labor to deliver the dead …

If you ask me I am pretty darn lucky. I was fortunate enough to grow up in the 80s so that means that I grew up with the best music (hair bands forever!), the best cartoons, the best toys, and of course, the best movies. Especially horror movies. In my humble opinion the 80s were the golden age for horror …

Part five is always a weird entry in any horror franchise. For one thing, it’s rare for a franchise to make it to five entries and still have a pulse in the series. Part 5 is usually where things get weird. In Halloween 5 The Revenge of Michael Myers, Myers, and his niece Jaime share a psychic link. Is it …

With any horror film that strikes a chord with the audience and has them flocking to the theatres, it is always tempting to build on the successes of the first film and make a sequel, or two, or three and the next thing you know you have a full blown franchise on your bloodied hands. While many don’t quite carry …

Greetings creatures of the night, I’m home again. After my long break from Horror I have returned to bring you my top five list of horror films that you can’t just watch once. This list is comprised of horror movies so good that they merit multiple viewings. These films get inside of you and they never let go of you. …

Sometime, in the late 1960s, the horror genre changed; it became mainstream, with big-name stars and bigger budgets. It was no longer more or less the main province of genre fans and stars like Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, or Lon Chaney, Jr., or established genre directors like Terence Fisher or Freddie Francis. In this post from my personal blog, I …

With the fresh release of The Nun, there has been a recent resurgence of the classic ‘nunsploitation’ movies and the newest release to the scene is no exception to the other brilliant entries to the genre. Nuns are terrifying at the best of times, but there seems to be something about nuns being added to the equation in a horror …

Night of the Living Dead (1968), directed by George Romero; starring Duane Jones and Judith O’Dea as two strangers who join forces to survive the original Zombie Apocalypse. One of the most influential horror movies ever made, Night of the Living Dead was initially dismissed by many critics as a cheap “exploitation” film (Rex Reed was a notable exception). In …

I have to be in a certain mood to watch Asian horror. I must confess that I mostly haven’t been in that mood for quite a few years. In the previous decade, I was quite taken with Asian horror (along with everybody else) and I watched all the classics, as well as the American remakes: The Ring, The Grudge, The …

Look, I’m not a fan of remakes. They tend to be rather pedestrian affairs with only the slightest amount of the originals’ power, and as such most are utter nonsense. Case in point would be remakes of A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Halloween, The Amityville Horror, The Grudge, One Missed Call and any number of others in …

There’s lots to choose from in this category, and I know some Harry Potter fans may get a little ruffled by the absences of Professor McGonagall (Maggie Smith) or Hermione Granger (Emma Watson.). To be memorable, in my estimation, a movie witch must be at least a little scary, even if she’s starring in a romantic comedy like Rene Clair’s …

When it comes to the horror genre, victims—and even heroes, for that matter—are a dime a dozen. Who can remember everyone Jason has killed throughout the Friday the 13th series or how Michael got his comeuppance in, say, Halloween 4? Sure, everyone knows that Van Helsing has defeated the most famous vampire of all in countless versions of the story, …

It’s that time of the year again kids, Samhain is fast upon us and the thin veil between our world and the realm of spirits is slipping away. The leaves are on the ground and the air is getting cooler. It’s the perfect time to start digging through that old horror film collection of yours and maybe even consider adding …

2017 officially marks the fiftieth anniversary of “The Summer of Love”, when a hundred thousand young people descended on San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district with the collective dream of reinventing America. Their movement grew exponentially, changing outlooks and raising the nation’s consciousness. Today there are cynics who dismiss the hippie movement—pigeonholing it as a bunch of longhaired, drug addled, peace sign …
