So I recently picked up a Lensbaby Composer Pro for the Canon EF mount. For those of you that don’t know, the Lensbaby Composer Pro is an effect lens that basically puts the front element of the lens on a ball swivel. This gives you the ability to throw parts of the frame wildly out […]
Today, I awoke to see the sad news that the Artist Formerly Known as Prince had passed away. To be honest, I was never a big fan of his music. I was into a different genre. However, I do play guitar now and then, and sometimes consider myself a musician, so I could appreciate Prince’s […]
I feel your pain folks. I grew up loving Japanese horror films. I idolized film makers like Takashi Miike, and films like Audition, and Ichi the Killer. Then Hollywood started remaking Japanese horror films. Sometimes before they left the theater in Japan. The Grudge… staring Sarah Michelle Gellar? The Eye staring Jessica Alba? The Ring starring […]
We have all seen it in movies or on TV: The cops have some wide angle surveillance video, and the want to zoom in on that guy way back in the corner. Someone types a few things into the computer, and the image blows up to a crystal clear HD image of the suspect. We […]
So the dreams of many have been fulfilled. Ash Vs the Evil Dead is real, and the first season has started. Unfortunately, it is on Starz, so I will have to wait for the season 1 DVD release. (or Amazon Prime, or iTunes). I don’t have cable (at all), so it would cost me $100 […]
We may view urban legends today as trite and sentimental. These “friend of a friend” macabre stories, polished or pock-marked over the years with updated, timely details or absurd twists have cemented their place in our American cannon of folklore. Kidney heists, Bloody Mary, alligators in the sewer: all resonate tales because in their lack […]
Hi this is Erica Doering with IHN: Independent Horror News. The movie that I review this month is Fungicide. Available on a DVD collection of independent horror movies called Drenched in Blood it’s definitely worth seeing. It starts a little slow like a lot these do. At first we meet the mad scientist character who lives in his parents basement. There’s a little interaction between his […]
Hi! This is Erica Doering and this month, we review Gag. A movie that was pretty much disgusting the whole way. The whole entire time it was like balls to the wall disgusting. To be honest with you, I thought it was too much gore. Too much, I mean just moment after Moment after moment the whole entire film […]
Slither (2006) There are two kinds of horror movies that are worth watching. The first of course is the classic jump from your seat stain your drawers scream-a-thon. The second is the camped out, laugh yourself silly, and end up on Mystery Science Theater 3000, cheese fest. It’s the rare film that really manages to scare. Rarer still the […]
Planet Terror \ Death Proof – Review When the previews for Grindhouse hit the theatres a couple months back I, and probably every one with a fond remembrance for Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry was worked up. An homage to the grindhouse days of yore made by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez the modern-day high priest to the form? Riteous! Sign me […]
