Mother Of Tears

Jay Horror — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 00:00:00 GMT

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 ...

In 1979, horror director Lucio Fulci droppped Zombie. Confusingly the movie was known as Zombi 2 in various parts of the world as the makers cunning marketing ploy tried to fool the public into thinking that this movie was a sequel to George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead which was renamed Zombi when ...

Profondo Russo AKA Deep Red (also known as The Hatchet Murders) is considered among horror fans to be one of Dario Argento's greatest movies, along with Suspiria and Trauma. Typically Argento, with his artistic style of directing using unusual camera angles, lighting and the musical score to maximum...

Trauma

Jay Horror — Sat, 17 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Once again it is Dario Argento representing the Italian horror genre with Trauma. Many Argento fans consider this movie as the point in the horror masters career where his work started going down hill, whilst I understand that after such classics as Suspiria and Deep Red there were high expectations...

Zombi 3

HorrorMovieFan — Sat, 17 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT

is another instalment of the confusingly titled Zombi movies. Zombi 2, directed by Lucio Fulci, was released under that name due to some cunning marketing to try and cash in on the success of George A. Romero?s Dawn of the Dead, which was released in Italy as Zombi although Zombi 2 was not officiall...

The Beyond

HorrorMovieFan — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Lucio Fulci has definitely created an Italian zombie movie classic with The Beyond. This movie is much more than your traditional slow moving zombie flick and at this moment in time I would rate it as Fulci's best zombie movie.The movie begins in Louisiana, 1927, when a group of vigilantes break int...

Cannibal Holocaust

HorrorMovieFan — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT

I found Cannibal Holocaust to be a seriously disturbing horror movie although I'm not sure what it was that disturbed me. It wasn't the gore, the movie was very gory but I've seen a lot worse. There was no fear element of the movie, so it wasn't that. It was very brutal but once again I've seen much...
