Of the many laudable aspects of the Memorial Day Weekend – time with friends and family, BBQ, swimming in the pool, beer – my absolute favorite is the Half Price Books 20% off sale. During the sale, they provide an additional 20% off their everyday half-off prices on every item in the store. It’s a […]
The winner of the Kim Paffenroth Zombie Novel Give-a-way is… Todd Zircher, who has rather grim plans for the coming zombie apocalypse: Unfortunately, my wife works at a hospital so we’ll be at ground zero for the coming zom-pocalypse. I guess that makes my plan: If you can’t beat them, join them. Yikes! Now I […]
One of the finest, most horrific books I read last year was Professor Kim Paffenroth’s Dying to Live: Life Among the Undead. It was a wonderful experience reading that story, so I was excited to find Paffenroth has written a sequel to it, Dying to Live: Life Sentence. I haven’t had a chance to read […]
I don’t know if it’s because it’s the third in the series, or just because it’s not as good as the others, but Feast 3: The Happy Finish, despite it’s title, did not leave me feeling happy. Ultimately, it’s just not fun – the writers/directors try to one up the tasteless factor, but it’s just […]
First thought that popped into my head while watching Drive Thru? Damn…I want a double quarter pounder with cheese. A bunch of wannabe white kids hit the Drive Thru at Hella Burger and, while ordering, the clown shaped speaker seems to keep threatening their lives. They decide to go in and teach the drive thru […]
Holy sh*t!!!!! I was totally unprepared for Martyrs. I’d heard it was brutal, and I even hesitated to see it – Inside, also from France, was a particularly unpleasant moviewatching experience for me, and I actually HATED the film, despite it’s rave reviews. I thought that the gore and brutality of that film overshadowed what […]
A couple of weeks ago, I did a review for Killer Movie, which was a dark comedy about horror films and the real life horror that happens during the filming of one. That film was okay, but it’s hard to pull off that satirical/horror bend without skewing too much one way or the other. Dark […]
An hour into Good Will Evil, I still wasn’t sure if I was watching a horror comedy, or just a really crappy horror movie. As it turns out, it was just a really crappy horror movie. The film begins when a politician’s wife (her name is Easy? Really?) is talking to her friends about how […]
Traveling on business, I’ve been in a hotel all week. Flipping the channels on the in-room-pay-per-view, I observed that Twilight is available. I considered it for a moment… But it’ll appear on my bill… What if my wife found out? Or my boss?!? I’m a lay minister for crying out loud! I could be ruined! […]
What an unfortunate mess this turned out to be. Spiker has a halfway decent background story for a horror film. Adam and Elizabeth are in love. But someone else loves Elizabeth too, and ends up knocking her up, so she has to marry him. She’s so depressed by this fact (which begs the question as […]
