Matt Frewer’s Max Durbin from Dead Fire has problems. He enjoys the company of his deceased mother, gumming up scenes, and licking the necks of women he just met. Now, he has recently broken out of a futuristic prison and is on a crusade to capture a cryonics facility named the USS Legacy which is […]

Amid the Joseon dynasty, Kim Ho (Jung Hae-in) is struggling to find work. At long last, he manages to get a job, but it is not the one he envisioned. He is chosen as a guard in prison, and one of the prisoners is the traitor Lee (Kim Ji-hoon). Lee has started a rebellion against

I came across this at the 2009 Bram Stoker Film Festival. There were many other vampire movies during the festival and this was actually the only movie from Britain. Unfortunately, Orlock the Vampire at 3D was the weakest vampire film at the festival. And Orlock was what can be defined as a 3D cinematic atrocity.

After looking at Brian De Palma’s works, one can understand the influence that Alfred Hitchcock had on him.

The psychological trembling of the survivor sets a tone for disaster for the viewer. Eikjord is a geologist and a scientist who has witnessed horrific distressing tragedies in his line of work. Moreover, in the novel, Eikjord faces the world after refusing any and all contact with his daughter after the immense trauma of losing

The suburbs are hell. That’s what the movies keep telling us. Perfect nuclear families living in their McMansions are often anything but perfect. It’s not exactly new cinematic territory, but it’s a well that gets tapped often because it’s just a lot of fun to watch rich families implode, often of their own doing. In

Over the years, King Solomon’s Mines has gone through a lot. It started in 1885 as an adventure novel written by H. Rider Haggard. Some people refer to Haggard as the father of the ‘Lost World’ sub-rich and many others consider him a precursor to the type of pulp fiction that ruled the comic and

I will not take the liberty of explaining how these sounds map to reality. What I can explain is that men ranging between the ages of 18 to 50 make these sorts of sounds when watching Powder Blue, the straight-to-DVD film that features Jessica Beil in the nude. That’s right, I said nude, dear boys
