Title: Zombeavers (2014) Director: Jordan Rubin Runtime: 85 minutes — I had tickets for a screening of Zombeavers while it was playing at the TriBeCa Film Festival, but due to my work schedule, I was unable to attend.

Title: The Return of the Living Dead (1985) Director: Dan O’Bannon Runtime: 91 minutes — I know I’ve said this on twitter, and I’ll repeat it again here: The Return of the Living Dead is one of the best horror-based comedy films out there. It’s not a film you want to take seriously at all. While…

Title: Exhumed (2011) Director: Richard Griffin Runtime: 93 minutes — Exhumed is a hard film to nail down. The acting seems off and stilted, with only one of the characters coming across as natural, at least the first time, before you realize what’s going on. But, even on a second viewing it’s hard to warm up…

Title: Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th (2013) Director: Daniel Farrands Runtime: 400 minutes — Chris actually picked Crystal Lake Memories for me to stonewall my efforts in this past year’s Cinefessions Summer Screams Challenge. The idea was that I would spend over six hours of time earning one measly point. …
