UKM: Ultimate Killing Machine will probably be Michael Madsen's last movie. The cover was very appealing and the notion that some social drop out's were to be made into killing machines by military scientists seem quite a good concept. Within fifteen minutes I wasn't sure if I was watching a comedy ...

Wow, it's been a while since I've written here. I've neglected my blogging duties but I haven't neglected my horror movies. I've watched far more than I can remember, a few that remain in memory are May, Unholy and Planet Terror to name a few.The two that remain most vividly in memory are Child's Pl...

"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...

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...

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...

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 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...

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...
