Review: SCARE CAMPAIGN
Tackling the subject of pranks and how one can go horribly wrong, Brothers Colin and Cameron Cairnes’ SCARE CAMPAIGN takes that idea and runs with it quite effectively. Providing viewers with a fun setup and offering twist after twist, the film is one that never ceases to keep you wondering just what’s next, providing an accomplishment […]
Review: JACK GOES HOME
There are films like THE AVENGERS, where you walk into them to see things explode, silly superhero fare and a fun time. Then there are films that you watch to really hit a nerve with you, to challenge you and to invoke a sense of relation within you. I tend to gravitate towards those types […]
SEVEN More Scream Factory Releases You Don’t Want To Miss!!
A little while back, we wrote about Twenty Essential Scream Factory Releases, which were DVD/Blurays releases that the gang at Scream Factory knocked right out of the park.

Submerged with a weary and inexperienced sense of understanding, […]
Fantastic Fest Review: ANOTHER WOLFCOP
Cult cinema is the most unique, twisted and enjoyable types of film in a theatrical experience. Films that have a distinctive heart, and puts that heart above the price tag, usually tend to resonate on a much deeper level with fans, above the watered-down tentpoles of the year. Following that heart-filled approach to cult cinema is director […]
