3 Tears for Jakob Bilinski

Three-Tears-On-Bloodstained-Flesh

From filmmaker Jakob Bilinski comes Three Tears on Bloodstained Flesh – a postmodern Giallo shocker that looks raw and unrelenting. Out of all the trailers I’ve seen lately, Bilinski’s looks the most likely to back up its promises. My skin crawled a bit at the implied violence and seamy darkness to come. I’ve got to [...]

Wait for the Blackout!

As of May 4, the lunatics will have taken over the asylum. I repeat, this is not a drill. Stay in your homes and avoid contact with strange people and rock musicians. I repeat, this is not a drill, catch Asylum Blackout on Video On Demand. Stay in your homes. O.K., faux 1950′s emergency broadcast [...]

Entrance makes its Entra…er Debut

Psychological Thriller is generally a bad word for me and my fellow globsters; It’s long been seen as a cop out, a marketing term to sneak a horror film out to an unsuspecting audience that view themselves “well above that rubbish”. I think the first time I noticed it, I was all of 8 and [...]

Quick Ramblings on Sequels and Remakes

090314_cloned

Caught Joe Dante on the stream tv tonight. That dude always kills it. Rad director. Of course, they did a fan Q & A, and someone asked about Gremlins 3. Good job, yobbo. That went over about as well as Dan Aykroyd’s constant insistence that Ghostbusters 3 is coming soon to a theatre near you. [...]

A Memorable Moment with ‘The Maker’

TheMaker1

Words sometimes fail me in my critical capacity, as oft noted, sometimes to talk about art is to dance about geometry. I try any way. It’s hard to encapsulate the mad, feverish creativity in The Maker, a blindingly epic short that clocks in at 5:31 from start to finish. The story: a rabbit like creature, [...]

POSTERAMA!

Alrighty then. We have a pack of posters for your perusal. REC 3, Area 407, Seven Psychopaths, and Francis Ford Coppola’s Twixt. The design nerd in me is going berzerk, but I have to say Rec 3 is the one I’m planning on framing. Nice Fangoria logo in the bottom right, not too distracting, just [...]

After Midnight Music Videos and Musings on Kevin Smith’s Lost Weekend

It bounces back and forth and ricochets off the thick, thick candy coating that comprises my skull: what the hell happened to Mtv?

Trailerrific on a Nuclear Saturday

All apologies, my Globsters, for the lack of posts this week. Murphy’s Law is in effect, but we hope he goes home soon. I bring to you two trailers, one of which I’m very excited about and one that I post to you out of fanboy obsession. The first, Area 407, is a found footage [...]

The Hate List: April

A short look at this month’s movies that I had the mispleasure of watching for the honor of being your loyal human shield. These reviews are bite-size so we don’t choke.   Antichrist: Lars Von Trier makes me want to break things. Please stop making films, you crazy Dutch bastard.   The Midnight Hour: Total [...]
