Review: My Name Is Kris Kringle (2010, Short)

Rosso Sangue a.k.a. Anthropophagus II (1981)

Proto-Slashers (Lucky) #13 – “The Centerfold Girls” (1974)
The Centerfold Girls is a grimy and grim precursor to 80’s slashers like Maniac and Don’t Answer the Phone; it’s also a prime example of 70’s Grindhouse filmmaking.

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010): A mini review
The new Nightmare is much better than I expected despite a few flaws. First with the bad. The new Freddy make-up is awful and seems to change during the course of the film. Sometimes Freddy resembles the killer in Popcorn, … Continue reading
Shock Festival DVD Review
The dvd companion to Stephen Romano’s excellent Shock Festival book is out now and it is a must have for slasher lovers, exploitation junkies, and movie nostalgia fiends. If you grew up watching movies in 42nd Street grindhouses or southern … Continue reading
Terror Stalks the Class Reunion (1992) Review
Get a load of that title… Did you ever hear anything that sounded more like a slasher movie? Unfortunately, Terror Stalks the Class Reunion isn’t a lost slasher – for a start, there’s no slashing – but, while part of … Continue reading
