First Look Studios has acquired one alt porn company’s entry into the horror genre with Suicide Girls Must Die! Judging from the trailer for the film, you’ll probably end up wishing yourself dead, but at least you’ll be able to perv out to some cute girls. Then again, you can look at girls on the Internet for free and this movie won’t be. Suicide Girls photographer, Sawa Suicide, will be directing the film and Wizard of Gore director, Jeremy Kasten, is co-producing.

The film is set to release March 12 and tells the story of twelve Suicide Girls (yep, they use the …read more

I was beyond jealous when I saw Twitter blowing up about the VHS promo copies of Ti West’s The House of the Devil. It seemed that only a few sites were privy to the gorgeous, over sized clamshell that had VHS junkies like myself foaming at the mouth. Well this morning I just about wet myself after picking up this tip at Fear of the Dark–the VHS is now available for purchase in a VHS & DVD bundle!
In case you missed out on the film, get up to speed with my review about Sam (Jocelin Donahue), the college cutie who …read more

The Diablo Cody (Juno) penned high school horror flick Jennifer’s Body will be released on DVD and Blu-ray December 29 and features an all-new unrated extended cut. I didn’t see the movie in theaters so this was my first viewing of the film and I went straight for the sexy, unrated gore. I’m sad to say I don’t have a Blu-ray player but the features that come with it look decent–including video diaries, deleted scenes, a gag reel and a few documentary featurettes. My DVD featured an audio commentary which I had no desire to listen to after watching Megan Fox …read more

The dynamic duo on The Millennium Group Sessions podcast (<–click link then go to bottom of page), Troy Foreman and James McLean invited me back for a round two horror discussion. We talked about our top 5 horror films (it’s always so hard to choose!) and chatted about horror in general.
I can’t wait to talk with them about Millennium Season 3, which I just got and started watching. I’m a huge fan of the show and the Back to Frank Black boys have a wonderful website for Millennium fans that you should check out. Please visit here to participate in …read more

I love being introduced to independent filmmakers in the horror world because it’s a good reminder that there really is more to the scene than the sludge being churned out by studio execs. Thanks to Stu from Buy Zombie, I was directed to the work of Chicago filmmaker Mac Eldridge and his new zombie short Chemical 12-D.
The story surrounds Michael Frank who has been living alone in a post apocalyptic world for some time. He tries to cope with his new existence by searching for a cure that will end the zombie outbreak. One day, he comes across a newly …read more

In case you’re not one of the cool kids and haven’t been reading my regular column on giallo film at my other writing haunt, Horror Squad, go here to read the first post in an ongoing series of reviews and giallo tidbits. In my write up, I give a detailed rundown about the Italian film genre, but let me summarize what this amazing film genre is all about.
From ye olde Wikipedia: Giallo is an Italian 20th century genre of literature and film, which in Italian indicates crime fiction and mystery. In the English language, however, it is used in a …read more

I was able to catch an early screening of Universal Pictures’ The Fourth Kind in New York City last weekend and have been avoiding writing my review since then. There were parts of the movie that I found absolutely frightening but the film’s gimmicky technique was completely distracting which left me annoyed and disappointed.
‘The fourth kind’ is a term used to describe an alien abduction. The film is set in modern day Nome, Alaska where supposedly since the 1960’s, a large number of the population is reported missing every year. Milla Jovovich plays psychologist Dr. Abigail Tyler who began videotaping sessions with traumatized …read more
