THE DRIVE-IN ASYLUM SINGLE FEATURE GETS BLOODY THIS SATURDAY!
Of all the slashers, The Prowler just may be my favorite. Is it because everyone seems like they’re in some kind of dream? Is it the World War II opening and soldier slasher villain? Or is it because Tom Savini literally went wild with every gory impulse he had? Who can say! You can watch The Prowler on […]
The Attic Expeditions (2001)
Released by Severin Films when they put out their horror anthology documentary Tales of the Uncanny, The Attic Expeditions was a revelation to me. I was knocked out by its Asylum-influenced story of Trevor Blackburn, a man who may or may not have lost his mind. The problems begin when he and his girlfriend Faith purchase a home […]
Histoires Extraordinaires à Faire Peur ou à Faire Rire… (1949)
A group of policemen is tracking down the criminals behind three murder cases. There’s a cutthroat killing young women, a madman that hid his deformed landlord’s corpse in the floor and a wine aficionado who has buried his friend alive. If you read that and said, “Two of those stories sound like “The Tell-Tale Heart” […]
Tales of the Uncanny (2020)
Originally intended as an extra on The Theater Bizarre release, Tales of the Uncanny grew in scope over the lockdown that COVID-19 caused. Starting with Severin Films chief David Gregory and House Of Psychotic Women author Kier-La Janisse, there’s a huge cast of people ready to share their thoughts on the history of anthology horror, like Eli […]
beDevil (1993)
The first feature directed by an Australian Aboriginal woman — Tracey Moffatt, who also made Lip, a mashup of black servants in Hollywood movies talking back to their bosses — BeDevil was inspired by the director’s childhood. The first story “Mr. Chuck” is about an Australian boy haunted by the spirit of a drowned American soldier, […]
Sexandroide (1987)
Man, this movie. I don’t know who it was made for, but it seems like the kind of person who would corner me at the drive-in or a horror convention and breathlessly inform me of its many virtues and slowly make me more and more uncomfortable. I could tell you that this has stories, but […]
Southbound (2015)
Made by filmmakers who worked together on V/H/S, Southbound doesn’t always work, but at least its stories have a thematic tie to one another and a vision, unlike so many modern horror anthologies. Radio Silence — Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett and Chad Villella– who made Ready or Not, V/H/S, and Devil’s Due directed the first segment, in which two men […]
Dashcam (2021)
Jake has been trying to get into reporting by starting as a video editor. While editing a story on a routine traffic stop that resulted in the death of a police officer and a major political official, Jake is sent dashcam video evidence that tells a completely different story than the report he’s told to […]
