The Hunt is On
Posted on 04/13/2011 by Hellbound Heart
Now here's an indie which pleasantly surprised me - in a sea of derivative and sloppy modern horror, PROWL (2010) stands out as a film with enough horror staples to feel familiar, but the skill to utilise these in an engaging way throughout. This means you get a sense of a filmmaking team who enjoy ...

If Hugh Everett ever stumbled upon a parallel universe where Tiffany Ray had married Dolomite instead of Chucky then he would probably find that, on that universe's equivalent of Earth, Black Devil Doll would be the notorious gender-confused Glen/Glenda terrorising the masses. That would be an excep...

When watching and reviewing indie genre films, I've often found myself inclined to be pretty charitable. I know how hard it is to get films written and made, and to an extent, I take this into consideration. But that tolerance can only be taken so far - as a film fan, I want to get something out of ...

It's straight in with a gut-punch of visceral nastiness with Pig, the latest film from British director Adam Mason (Broken, The Devil's Chair, Blood River). A woman, terrified and covered in blood, flees along a deserted highway - where's she's intercepted by a man we'll come to know only as "Daddy"...

A mixture of dwarves, hot chicks, deformed rednecks, Jesus freaks and Bianca Barnett's boobs is a recipe that belongs in God's DVD cookbook, but the combination of the ingredients only is not enough as time and care need to go into the preparation of said ingredients for an outstanding straight-to-D...

With the zombie movie market being quite saturated it must be difficult to come up with an original concept for a zombie movie without somebody having already been there and done that, also, with the popularity of high quality cult zombie movies from the masters in the genre, attempting to infiltrat...

If a movie has a bound and ceilingly suspended lady of the slutty persuasion receive a chainsaw to the spine before the opening credits then you can pretty much expect me to enjoy it. If a horror movie stars Jeffery Coombs and Michael Berryman then you can guarantee I will get a teensy bit excited. ...

Wasting Away is one of the most originally creative and comical zombie movies that has blessed DVD since the Ancient Anglo Saxons created Shaun of the Dead. There are numerous reasons why this movie is beautiful and justice would not be done if each one was not given a couple of sentences of its own...

What do you get if you cross a group of jocky city douche-bags on a lads hunting trip (with a girl), a gang of dirty hillbilly inbred rednecks and a pot smoking hippie commune that worships a giant pig? You get Pig Hunt. James Isaac (Jason X, Skinwalkers) delivers a creature feature delivered in the...

For a craftily reverse-chronologically constructed horror movie about the temptations of hell, Necromentia, although not quite as inverted as Memento, manages to be an absorbing and fascinating fantasy with numerous loud shocks and more gore than you can shake a baby at. The story is obviously very ...
