Review: ‘Invoke,’ A Horror Short for the Modern Era

Zombies are great. Maybe a weird way to start a paragraph but it’s true, they really are awesome, same as werewolves, mummies, vampires, and so many other abominations that have haunted the collective nightmares (or dreams depending on how you look at ‘em) of horror enthusiasts everywhere for decades. But in order to keep things fresh within the community, it can’t all be ghosts and ghouls. Art mu...[Read More]

Loos, Peelers is a bloody, grimy gore fest of the highest order, with more heart than you’d dare expect with just the right amounts of sex and violence, which is ultimately what brings us here, isn’t it? Peeler...[Read More]

Review: “The Dark Below” – An Experience in Experimental Horror

Horror comes in all shapes and sizes. Large casts, one person locked in a casket, mansions, creatures, ghosts, serial killers and all the likes can make up our beloved genre. Sometimes a filmmaker has to step outside the box and do something completely different to capture the attention of the audience. Director Douglas Shulze not only stepped but leaped out of the box and plunged himself into som...[Read More]

Review: “Devil in the Dark”

Originally filmed under the name The Plateau, Tim Brown’s Devil in the Dark more than lives up to either title. From writer Carey Dickson’s script, the movie was filmed in the wilds of British Columbia, and it seems like the two brothers at the heart of the story are in the middle of nowhere. That sense of isolation really brings to focus the story of older brother Clint (Dan Payne) going on a hun...[Read More]

Review: ‘Bigfoot the Movie’ a Delightful & Comedic Creature Feature

With Bigfoot the Movie, director Jared Show — who co-wrote the movie with Curt Wootton — has crafted a monster movie with laughs. Calling it a horror comedy is almost off the mark since Bigfoot pictures fall a little more in line with creature features, but it’s definitely an entertaining picture which leverages low-budget charm out of every scene. “I ain’t huffed gas in nearly four years. This is...[Read More]

Short Review: “The Room at the Top of the Stairs” a 70’s Tour De Force

The press materials for Briony Kidd‘s acclaimed Tasmanian short, The Room at the Top of the Stairs, cite ’70s horror films and Daphne du Maurier‘s gothic mystery, Rebecca, as its inspirations. From the opening shots of star Fiannah de Rue walking up to the house, accompanied by Heath Brown‘s melancholy score, those citations are not overconfident. There’s something of a remove for horror films fro...[Read More]
