The Devil to Pay (2019)
There are parts of America that may as well be another country or even another world. In this film, originally known as Reckoning, we learn that the Appalachian mountains are isolated and quite frankly terrifying, with the community in the film operating in its own very unique set of rules. When Lemon’s husband dies, she must […]
The Wall of Mexico (2019)
The Aristas are a wealthy Mexican family who are charging high prices from the well water on their property. Is it the fountain of youth? Is it a source of power? Or does the water just taste that good? Regardless of the answer, a young handyman named Don has started to work for them, guarding […]
Classic Euro Horror is on KinoLorber’s KinoNow!
Our friends at Kino Lorber were kind enough to let me know that they have some classic Eurohorror streaming just in time for Halloween. Kill, Baby…Kill! is a Mario Bava piece of magic, with a ball-bouncing ghost leading people to suicide amidst a swirl of colors and artistic style in the master’s return to gothic horror. […]
Song Lang (2018)
I always make the remark that we often get films that don’t fit into our normal genre, but you know, more and more, we’re expanding what we watch here. Song Lang is a combination of an underworld and romantic story, set in 1980’s Saigon. It’s all about the friendship between the brutal debt collector Dung […]
SLASHER MONTH: Victor Crowley (2017)
In a total surprise, the tenth anniversary of Hatchet ended up being the fourth film, bringing Victor Crowley (Kane Hodder) back to Honey Island Swamp to take on a movie that is coming to be filmed in his home. It all starts with Crowley massacre survivor Andrew Yong (Parry Shen) promoting his book on his ex-wife […]
2020 Scarecrow Psychotronic Challenge Day 8: Antebellum (2020)
DAY 8. EQUAL SLICE: One where women get top billing. Antebellum is a movie that would have been much better if I’d never seen the trailer and if the big reveal didn’t happen until much later in the movie. As it stands, it’s still interesting, but it would have really knocked me out if I […]
SLASHER MONTH: Hatchet 3 (2013)
B. J. McDonnell took over as the director of the Victor Crowley saga this time around, pitting him against Marybeth Dunston one more time in the swamps of Honey Island Swamp. After a shotgun blast to the face, a chainsaw sawing him in half and another shotgun to the brainstem, it seems like Crowley is […]
SLASHER MONTH: National Lampoon’s Class Reunion (1982)
The third National Lampoon movie* to reach theaters — it was filmed after National Lampoon Goes To The Movies — this was written by John Hughes, who was pretty unhappy with the final product. He’d tell the Chicago Tribune, “They didn’t even want me around, and I was shocked when I saw the movie”. My screenplay had […]
SLASHER MONTH: Hatchet II (2010)
The best part of a slasher is that if it works, you get more than one. 2010’s Hatchet II starts exactly where the first ended, placing Marybeth Dunston (now played by Danielle Harris) into the grip of Victor Crowley (Kane Hodder). There’s even a scene that ties in this movie to another Adam Green film Frozen, which […]
SLASHER MONTH: Hatchet (2006)
How much does Adam Green like slashers? He was in a band called Haddonfield. And he’s made four movies in the Hatchet series, as well as writing the Tommy Jarvis tapes in Friday the 13th: The Game. Hatchet straddles the line between tribute to the past, humor and being a slasher that can stand on its own […]
