The Machine Girl (Kataude mashin gâru) is a Japanese cacophony of action and gore from Noboru Iguchi and if you know that name from Tokyo Gore Police then you pretty much know what to expect... nonsensically named ninjas, malicious married mobsters, gratuitous gore and enough spent metal to repair t...

Kelvin Tong's The Maid (Kimyo na sakasu) is a fairly typical J-Horror (despite being Singaporean) for the best part, but takes on a fairly disturbing twist as the story closes. Relying on an eerie atmosphere and Singaporean superstitions rather than an abundance of guts, The Maid manages to create a...

Maniac is a 1980 slasher movie directed by William Lustig, this is not your typical slasher in that it is devoid of any dark humor and the maniac's victims tend to be young working adults rather than school going teens. This is a very dark and disturbing movie about a deranged serial killer named Fr...

Takashi Shimizu (director of Ju-On: The Grudge and Reincarnation) brings us an original J-Horror movie by the name of Marebito AKA (The Stranger from Afar). The movie takes the humble vampire movie in a new direction, in a Japanese kind of way, but is much less focused on the supernatural ghosts and...

Marronnier is a zany low budget Japanese horror that comes off like a cross between Puppetmaster and After Death (or Zombie 4: After Death or Zombie Flesh Eaters 3... or whatever you know it as). Before the opening credits begin to roll we are treated to some full-on gore enticing the viewer into th...

In 1977 George A. Romero unleashed a very alternative vampire movie into the horror world. Martin is far from a traditional vampire and the viewer is left wondering if they are watching a movie about Nosferatu or about a mixed up loner slash serial killer. Martin creates an unusual atmosphere where ...

Occasionally a truly unique horror movie emerges and reminds you of the hidden horror talent that exists in relative obscurity in the USA. May is a prefect example of such a movie and has totally reinvigorated my lust for American horror. Far from your traditional slasher movie, May probably doesn't...

From the opening scene Meatball Machine bombards the viewer with over the top violence, gore and brutality. The cover art is enough to inspire any Asian horror movie fan to want to see more. The story, although typically Manga craziness, is quite ingenious and typically horror movie style pointlessn...

The third and final part of Dario Argento's Three Mothers Trilogy is Mother of Tears (La Terza madre). 27 years after Inferno, the final part of the trilogy that began with Suspiria ends pretty much how it began. I must admit that I was expecting to be disappointed with this movie and envisioned it ...

For a Troma movie, Mother's Day is a relatively serious affair but with the complete absurdity that is usually associated with Troma don’t expect anything too austere. Mother's Day is a deplorable, twisted and darkly humorous exploitation flick like what I Spit on your Grave would have been like if ...

Steven Sheil's directorial debut, Mum and Dad, is a typically twisted Brit horror portraying the misguidedly motivated psycho family horror that the British do so well. With enough gruesome gore to satisfy your typical gorehound and a plotline sick and twisted enough to leave the most hardened horro...
