I haven't seen a good horror flick for ages. There was a couple of slasher flicks on last night so I cracked open a beer and settled in to Slumber Party Massacre then Hatchetman, and I still haven't seen a good horror flick for ages!
Slumber Party Massacre was your typical teen-chicks at a slumber p...

I love modern comedy teen slasher movies and Drive-Thru meets those criteria exactly. It's a spoof horror starring the incredibly gorgeous Leighton Meester. It?s basically a group of teens being terrorised by "Horny the Clown" the demonic mascot of "Hella-Burger". Horny is in fact the reincarnation ...

I'm not sure what to say about this movie, it was a bizarre British movie from the seventies (I think) about a paranoid writer in the middle of nowhere attempting to write a book. His previous book was a bestseller but he stole the manuscript from a friend who then committed suicide. He hires a dict...

I?ve just watched "Don't Look in the Basement" aka "The Forgotten" and I had to mention it now!. The whole movie was set in "The Stephens Sanitarium" which houses a number of mental people and a minimal staff. Each "mental" has their own particular affliction which makes for an interesting set of ch...

Tonight?s horror instalment is a seventies slasher flick called "The Toolbox Murders". I've heard that this was a highly disturbing cult movie but I was expecting something a bit cheesy as it was a 1978 horror movie but based on the other movies in the "cult horror UK video nasty" camp (such as "I S...

I had the pleasant experience of The Class Of Nuke 'Em High 3 last night. This so far has to be the stupidest story from Tromaville that I've seen to date. I think it was just a case of too many sequels (although I can say for sure as I haven't seen the previous 2!). It was absolutely brimming with ...

I was channel surfing yesterday and I stumbled upon a movie just starting called Wrong Turn. There was nothing else on so I decided to give it a go. Little did I know I was about to see a marvellous horror flick produced by the horror master Rob Schmidt (I didn't even realize I was about to see a ho...

I haven?t watched a good Asian horror for ages (I've never seen a bad one? it?s just been a while). A friend from work had recommended Pulse and within a few days it came on SKY. It was probably a combination of it being late and the ?special? cigarettes I was smoking but it freaked the living shit ...

I finally got around to watching Puppetmaster 2. It was a definite improvement on the first one (surprisingly for a horror sequel) and it nearly lived up to my expectations.
This time the plot didn't try and convince me that there are normal-yet-mystical people in the world and tried to adopt a scie...

I?ve just seen the first instalment of the Puppet Master franchise (I'm guessing there's about a million sequels). To be honest I wasn't too impressed, but I think the concept is brilliant and am expecting the sequels to be more gore and mindless-violence orientated!
I think what let this one down f...

I love the Final Destination movies so when my SKY box decided to record Final Destination 3 for me I was quite pleased to say the least. I love the concept of the movies, the way you know the people are gonna die and have an inkling as to how, then the teasing-you-with-all-the-potential-hazards bit...

Due to the fact that Tromeo and Juliette tripped me out so much I recorded The Toxic Avenger. As I expected, it was over the top acting, over the top gore and plenty of bad taste... brilliant. Unfortunately I was wasted when I watched it and I can't remember how it ended (or even if I saw the ending...
