Chillerama: Bringing The Drive-In To Your Living Room

Before I say anything about this film, I feel I should point out how awesome the poster is. I absolutely love when I find a movie with a hand drawn poster and Chillerama has one of the best ones I've ever seen. Movie posters are unfortunately a dead art with the use of computers and digital art these days so this one most certainly deserves some recognition. The artwork is by Phil Roberts, who is known for his 80's-esque poster designs. Chillerama contains three horror-comedies/parodies directed by various genre directors within the frame story of a bunch of people at a soon to be closed drive-in theater that also has a few freaky...

Vintage Horror Review: Trilogy of Terror (1975)

This made-for-TV horror gem from the 70's is surprisingly not a very popular film and is actually fairly hard to find. Trilogy of Terror is divided into 3 stories (all staring Karen Black): Julie, Millicent and Therese, and Amelia. "Julie" tells the tale of a college student who becomes unhealthily obsessed with his English professor. He takes her on a date, drugs her, takes a few scandalous pictures of her, and then uses them to blackmail her into further meetings. Soon, the professor unveils a secret that quickly end his plans. "Millicent and Therese" is about a pair of sisters who just don't get along. Soon, their therapist...

Vintage Horror Review: Rawhead Rex (1986)

Rawhead Rex is one of the less well-known films that I've done vintage reviews for, however, it is no doubt a gem in the world of cheesy 80's monster movies. A farmer and a few of his buddies discover a strange rock in the middle of a field in rural Ireland decide to dig up the thing. After countless tries, the rock won't budge, until smoke begins billowing out of it and an unholy creature is unleashed. Meanwhile, a man writing a book about ancient sacred sights and his family travel around Ireland in search of material. Soon, he discovers a church where he believed an ancient sight used to be. Before long, he finds himself a the local reverend...

The Woman in Black: Back to Hammer

To be honest, I had pretty high expectations going into The Woman in Black, which stars ex-Harry Potter Daniel Radcliffe and is produced by Hammer films. It appeared to have the feel of the old Hammer films about haunted houses and monsters and that really drew me in. However, these high expectations were unfortunately not met by The Woman in Black. The film is a remake of a 1989 Hammer film of the same name directed by Herbert Wise and starring Adrian Rawlings. It tells the story of a lawyer (Radcliffe) attempting to do all the final paperwork for a woman who died in a large, strange house in the middle of a swamp in rural England. When...

Chronicle: Look Ma, No Hands!

I'm back with a vengeance. Don't call it a come back. Chronicle is a film about a group of three high school seniors (the popular guy, the bullied loner and the sort of in-between guy) who, during a typical high school rave party in an abandoned building, stumble upon a cave in the woods and, being drunk high school kids, decide it's a good idea to climb into it. They stumble upon a strange, glowing plant-like rock that emits an odd sound and soon gives the three nosebleeds, prompting them to leave. They soon discover that they now have the power of telekinesis, but before long, the struggle for power begins to break the friends apart. Overall,...
