This flick is set in 1985. It begins with a puppet hunter who stumbles upon a penguin who in turn beats the stuffing out of him (pun intended). Someone stands in the shadows, and with the penguin this shadowy figure drags the hunter back to a lab. The puppet in the shadows happens to be a mad scientist who places a parasite in the hunters beer belly. The monster

This movie is definitely not a cinematic masterpiece. The opening scene is a woman beating someone to death with a hammer (reminded me of an incident I had with a mouse on a glue trap once). Gruesome opening scene leading into some fairly gruesome acting. Not sure which was scarier, the movie itself or the crappy acting. House of the Damned is filmed in black & white. It not

Haunted Changi is a film about a group of independent filmmakers set out to make a movie/documentary about a haunted Changi Hospital in Singapore. Think Blair Witch and Paranormal Activity. I don’t buy the films premise that it is based on truth, but it is a great edge of your seat horror film that fans of the previously mentioned films will enjoy. I don’t want to say too much

The story starts with his mom leaving for a business trip, leaving son and stepdad alone for a

Before “Lord of the Rings” and his epic 2005 version of “King Kong” — Academy Award winning director Peter Jackson gave the world the most brutally gory midnight movie of all time — Dead Alive. Our story

Every so often I come across a movie that came out more than a decade ago, a movie that I missed upon it’s initial release. Rarely do I wish that I caught the movie opening night but this is one exception — Stir Of Echoes. A movie so chilling and well crafted that it angers me that I didn’t see this 10 years ago. Kevin Bacon stars as Tom

Okay. Um — wow. I’m having trouble on where to begin here. Okay, here we go. Let me catch everyone up who does not keep up with cinema news. Terrible movies are growing more and more popular ever since Tommy Wiseau’s opus “The Room” debut in 2003. “The Room” is widely known and considered to be the best “worst” movie ever made, with no plot, terrible acting and an
