"Suspiria" is f**king awesome. I've known for a while that it was called as a horror classic (and it was made in the same year I was!!!) but I've only just gotten around to watching it. Dario Argento definitely deserves his place among the horror masters.A movie about witches is a bit of a rare conc...

There was an Asian Horror sale on in my local DVD store so I just had to pick up a movie, I was in a hurry so I just picked up the first think I hadn't seen which happened to be called "Ab Normal Beauty". The cover said it was sick and nasty so I was instantly sold on the concept.
I?m not sure wheth...

I'd heard a lot about this movie, I knew it was a Troma production so I thought I knew what to expect... but I didn?t. This was one sick exploitation horror movie, and it was exploitation for the sake of exploitation. It had all of the features you?d expect of a horror movie (violent death and gore,...

I?ve just watched the notorious The Great American Snuff Film. It was an exploitation movie supposedly based on true events with supposedly genuine snuff movie footage at the end.
Basically two women are kidnapped by a weirdo and a simpleton and tortured for a few days before they are snuffed which ...

Lucio Fulci is a God when it comes to zombie movies and as I was getting a bit bored of Asian Horror so I was quite excited when a friend of mine gave me a DIVX of "The Beyond".
This was NOT your average zombie movie, the storyline was quite complex and the build up of suspense and the not-being-qui...

I remember the Re-Animator movie from way back in the day and I also remember enjoying it. I know there have been numerous sequels but I've never got around to watching any until now. Beyond Re-Animator was on last night (I'm not sure where this comes in the order of sequels), so I watched it!
It wa...

Scarecrow is another one of those teen slasher horror movies where the bullied kid's horrible life is made much better when he gets superhuman powers due to some kind of bizarre accident. The bizarre accident in this case is possessing a scarecrow when his mom's new one-night-stand strangles him to ...

I?d heard a shit load about Junk so I was quite excited when it sprang through my letterbox. The thought of an Asian zombie flick seemed quite intriguing as most Asian Horrors I have seen are the twisted, psychological, brainf**k horrors so I was quite looking forward to seeing a Japanese interpreta...

Altered is a sci-fi-esque horror movie from Eduardo Sanchez (the dude who brought us The Blair Witch Project). I wasn't too impressed with Blair Witch although I missed the ending which apparently made the wobbly-camera-nausea worth it.
Altered is about four men who were abducted by aliens and have ...

I really wanted to watch "Infection" last night but it was too late and I was too drunk... so I left it until today.
The movie was advertised as "from the creators of The Ring, Grudge, and Dark Water", which were all pretty good movies so I was expecting a "pretty good" movie. I didn?t get what I ex...

I felt that there was becoming a hole in my horror movie collection which could only be filled by some Asian Horror, so I went a bought a couple of random Asian Horrors. The first movie to hit my DVD player was the intriguingly named "Dumplings" from the Hong Kong horror master Fruit Chan.
I wanted ...

I'd heard a lot of bad horror reviews about The Unborn but I know how wildly wrong reviews can be (or maybe how far from the norm my taste in horror movies is) so I watched it! I must admit that it was quite slow to begin with but I enjoyed watching the director trying to put across the irrational f...
