I remember checking out Cold Prey a few years ago simply because it was a Norwegian slasher movie. A lot of people seemed to really get a kick out of it, judging by the reviews. Me, I thought it was on the upside of average. It had moments of real suspense, solid cinematography, and high-end production values, but the first half was cheapened by the tired friends hanging out fluff. The good thing about Cold Prey II, the tired friends hanging out cliché is nixed. The rest of the movie, well… Continue reading →

Screaming in High Heels: The Rise and Fall of the Scream Queen Era made me reconsider my criteria for what makes a scream queen. Being female, for starters. Duh. Second, you’ve got to be in several horror movies. Preferably cheaper, lower grade flicks that are on the sleazy side. But the third, and my newest piece of criteria, is owning a certain pride for being in these films. These ladies can’t hang their heads in shame. That’s not to say they can’t admit some of their lesser movies are pieces of crap. They can make fun of themselves, while reaching out to fans who remain undying in their appreciation for their work. Scream queens are happy to have done fans of horror-dom proud. I say Brinke Stevens, Michelle Bauer, and Linnea Quigley fit the bill. It’s about time they got a documentary. Considering this feature is only 63 minutes, it covers a whole of stuff, and very well I might add, because I had a blast watching every minute of it. Continue reading →

I’ve had a long running relationship with Burial Ground. It’s easily one of my favorite zombie splatter flicks simply because the film doesn’t pull any punches. It gives you what you want: blood and guts, boobs, decayed zombies, and a lot of “human” fucked up shit that really sets it apart from any old zombie movie. Burial Ground is way more than a B-movie. It’s a wild sleazy zombie show. Continue reading →
