"Body Parts" is another "non traditional" Troma flick. The write up said it was extremely violent but it so totally lied. There was a few strippers killed right at the beginning but nothing majorly violent... and that was it. The rest of the movie was a bizarre (troma style) love movie with a bit of...

I've finally got around to watching Eli Roth's Hostel II. After a few watches I really appreciated Hostel, the first viewing was quite disappointing as my hopes were really high following all the hype. I was expecting something really extreme but I'd seen a lot worse. The next few viewings made me a...

Wow... they're milking the f**k out of the Toxic Avenger. "Citizen Toxie - The Toxic Avenger IV "claims to be THE REAL sequel to Toxie's first outing and claims the other two were crap... I can't comment on this as I haven't seen them! Once again I'm watching my Troma movies in completely the wrong ...

The second instalment of Dario Argento's "Three Mothers Trilogy" is "Inferno". This follows on from "Suspiria" with the discovery of the second mother, Mater Tenebrarum, mentioned in the ancient mythology that is the basis of the trilogy.
Mark, played by Leigh McCloskey, receives a desperate phone c...

The Slaughter was described to me as a horror comedy and compared to The Evil Dead. I was expecting either a really low budget, home-movie-ish piece of crap or a modern high budget surprise. I didn't really get either, and I'm not sure if I would even have called it a comedy.
The movie started reall...

I never seem to watch horror movies in the order that they come out, I don't suppose it really matters with Troma movies as they don't usually follow any storyline that is critical to the entertainment factor of the movies.Anyway, last night I watched the first instalment of "The Class of Nuke 'Em H...

Why do I spend my time watching crummy horror movies? The answer to that question is because occasionally the crummy horror movie turns out to be a good horror movie.
Mexican Werewolf in Texas is crummy. Not atrocious crummy but I did occasionally get the urge to fast-forward to the next horror scen...

Having been mildly amused by the concept of The Unborn I decided to give the sequel a run for it's money, hoping that The Unborn 2 would take the concept of a killer mutant baby to a distasteful extreme.
The opening scene begins with a woman in a playground looking for a particular child amongst the...

Puppetmaster 3 was strangely the best movie in the Puppetmaster franchise that I've seen. Usually horror movies have either totally lost the plot or are at least starting to go downhill by the third instalment, but for Puppetmaster it seems to just be getting started.
The movie starts with some gore...

"Reincarnation" is one damn spooky Asian horror movie directed by Takashi Shimizu who is more famous for "Ju-On: The Grudge and who seems to be churning out quality horror movies at the moment.
The story takes place 35 years after a horrific bloodbath happened in a hotel when a man killed his family...
