REVIEW – Lovely Molly – (DVD)

lovelymolly

Of course, I had certain expectations from director Eduardo Sánchez, the guy who co-created and directed one of the highest budget-to-gross ranking films of all time, The Blair Witch Project, but, like a glass of full-fat milk, Lovely Molly was going to take some time to digest.
It took five days in the end.

Here’s the premise…

Frightfest 2012 REVIEW – Cockneys vs Zombies

cockneys_vs_zombies_poster

If opening title sequences had their own award, then Cockneys vs Zombies would be my winning choice. Its film-negative neon-tinted comic book characters jump from the screen, accompanied by the all too punchy song ‘Monster’ by The Automatic.
The metallic VFX intro sets a tone that promises fun, colour, gore, action and laughs. And, I’m happy [...]

Wahlberg and Neeson in talks for Natali’s Neuromancer adaptation…

neuromancer

I’m a huge Vincenzo Natali fan, so you can imagine my excitement when I heard that the man who brought us Splice and Cypher is apparently at the helm of William Gibson’s Neuromancer film adaptation.

Natali is the Giorgio Armani of film directors for me. Everything he touches looks and feels so classy. Maybe it’s because [...]

The Horror Channel gets Darwinian & invites you to discover the Evilution of Horror…

Evilution of Horror

That’s not a literal invitation.  Even if Darwin’s one-hundred-and-thirty-year-old undead corpse could make it to your house from the depths of Westminster Abbey, I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t want him sitting on your couch.  Nothing shifts zombie stench, not even Febreze.   
Dead naturalists aside, we’re talking of course about the latest all-nighters from The Horror Channel.

Starting THIS FRIDAY, the 6th of July at 9pm, Evilution of Horror is offering up a natural selection [...]

REVIEW – Killer Joe
