I started going to Star Trek conventions when I was in middle school. This was back when Star Trek: the Next Generation was on broadcast television in syndication and that franchise was in the midst of a renaissance. The conventions were held in a dying colosseum in downtown Phoenix, not far from a railyard. The inside of the colosseum smelled like depression and decay.

If you’ve never gotten the chance to check out the 1996 horror film, The Dentist, you may want to hold off on checking this review out. On the other hand, the sequel to the aforementioned film which we’re about to speak about is pure garbage…
No sleigh bells ring, no snow glistens. No carollers call, nobody is decking the halls. Someone has a very special yuletide visitor…but it isn’t Santa. Matt Rogerson takes a look at the latest release from IFC Midnight, hitting US theatres and on demand 26 April.
It seems the giallo is undergoing something of a resurgence. The oh-so-Italian genre, a lurid mix of psychological horror, crime thriller, melodrama and sexploitation, was one of Italian cinema’s biggest outputs in the 1960s and 70s, but sadly faded from prominence in the decades that followed.

When originally coming up upon the poster and trailer for Killer Kate!, I was quickly sold on wanting to see this film. The trailer displayed the titular character in a full fledged assault mode, taking out several antagonists with ease which set my mind running to the many possibilities as to what the film could have in store for viewers.

It’s finally time to see if the loved/hated franchise “Returns” to it’s original form. Alex jumps into a one take spoiler free video review this week after watching it.
This film is a fantastic example of how far horror has come in the pop culture spectrum this day and age. We have an actor who is primarily known for his comedic stylings, seeing the sudden reappearance of regular mainstream horror films.
Kyle breaks down a new horror comedy that is fully aware of what it’s doing. Find out what Kyle thinks in his review!
The Meg was one of those films which had a massive build up too it. A large marketing campaign, a diverse cast which also includes some easily recognizable names such as Jason Statham and the likely more popular (thanks to his portrayal of Dwight Schrute on The Office) Rainn Wilson. These are a few of the key combinations mixed in with the use of sharks, aided the film in becoming incredibly successful.
Whenever I see the likes or Tara Reid, I think to myself that I’m either watching on of the various “American Pie” films or that I’ve stumbled across one of those “It’s so bad it’s good” horror films…
