Movie Review – Doom (2005)

Title: Doom (2005) Runtime: 100 minutes Director: Andrzej Bartkowiak — This is a great example of a film that receives a lot of unearned hate. Doom is a fun action flick that delivers said action in folds. It almost feels like a movie that would’ve come out in the early 1980s as a response to Alien,…


Movie Review – Child’s Play (1988)

Title: Child’s Play (1988) Runtime: 87 minutes Director: Tom Holland — Child’s Play is one of those films that I rented over and over again from Blockbuster when I was younger (much too young, in fact). It’s a film that helped me fall in love with horror, which makes this next statement so strange: this…


Movie Review – Little Deaths (2011)

Title: Little Deaths (2011) Runtime: 94 minutes Directors: Sean Hogan (House & Home), Andrew Parkinson (Mutant Tool), and Simon Rumley (Bitch) — And I thought torture porn was dead. When it comes to the fine line between horror and porn, Little Deaths falls just on the horror side. Barely. This film is incredibly graphic, insanely…


Movie Review – The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970)

Title: The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970) Runtime: 98 minutes Director: Dario Argento — It’s incredible how much more creative the Italian giallo films I’ve seen are compared to the American slasher film, and The Bird with the Crystal Plumage is another fine example of just that. This is Dario Argento’s debut film, and…


Movie Review – The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 (2012)

Title: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 (2012) Runtime: 115 minutes Director: Bill Condon — It’s no secret that I’ve never been a huge fan of The Twilight Saga. The first entry – Twilight – was easily one of the worst films of 2008. It’s a wonder the series became as popular as…


Movie Review – Prom Night (1980)

Title: Prom Night (1980) Runtime: 89 minutes Director: Paul Lynch — How in the world was Prom Night (2008) a remake of this film? They are entirely different. In fact, the only similarity between the films – that I can see – is that they both take place on the night of prom. In Prom…


Movie Review – Alien 3 (1992)

Title: Alien 3 (1992) Runtime: 145 minutes Director: David Fincher — I always hear nothing but hate for Fincher’s take on the Alien universe, and though the movie is far from perfect, I still don’t think that the hate is justified. The film’s strongest point is its practical effects. The blood and gore look great,…
