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...

"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...

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 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 ...

Next off the SKY+ box is Pumpkinhead 2: Blood Wings. I vaguely remember enjoying the first Pumpkinhead so I had a slight excitement about watching this one, but I was very disappointed!
The storyline seemed to completely ignore everything that happened in the original. There were some quite innovati...
