movie review
Movie reviews for horror fans; from gruesome bone-chillers to dark horror thrillers, a showcase for frightful films that seek to entertain and to terrify.
The Void: The Perfect Lovecraft Movie
Why had I not heard of this movie before Halloween? I really don't care what the critics say. If you check, IMDB gives this movie a 5.8/10, Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 73%, and Empire gives is 3/5. This seems like a movie to see once and forget about it. I promise you, if you have a thing for C'thulhu, Azathoth, or the Deep Ones (among other Lovecraftian monsters), you will enjoy this movie and come back to it again and again.

SABER-TOOTH IN SPACE!... well, on Mars. To be honest, I didn't even consider watching this movie 'til I learned that Vincent Campbell was in it. It just didn't grab my interest as good horror, good-bad horror, or even bad-bad horror. It just seemed "eh" and in my book, that means I move on to the next movie.
Reed AlexanderPublished 7 years ago in HorrorLooking Back at Rob Zombie's 'Halloween' 10 Years Later
Ten years ago, Rob Zombie shared with us his vision of a rebooted Halloween movie. Director and co-writer of Halloween (1978) John Carpenter gave his blessing to Rob Zombie on the condition that he made the movie his own and not a shot for shot remake (like Gus Van Sant's remake of Psycho).
John GatelyPublished 7 years ago in HorrorHorrorthon Conclusion: 'Jigsaw' (2017)
Hello one and all. So, my 2017 Halloween Horrorthon officially ended yesterday, October 31st — Halloween. The actual day! Whew! 28 movies this year and a nice eclectic mix this year. I started with Misery and ended up with a movie that would make a sane, normal human being who genuinely loves horror movies miserable! I might've just said more than I should, but read on.

Creepy Movies That Are Based on True Stories
Everybody loves curling up in bed on a cold night and watching a scary movie. What makes a scary movie scarier is knowing that even a small part of it is based on a true story. Knowing that somebody went through that terror in reality is scary itself.
H'ween Horrorthon: 'Trick 'r Treat' (2007)
"During the spookiest time of the year there are a few guidelines all ghosts and goblins should follow. Always stay on sidewalks. Never go to a strangers house, and never go out alone."–Halloween Safety Film Announcer.
Carlos GonzalezPublished 7 years ago in HorrorReed Alexander's Review of 'The Hollow (2015)'
Alright, I'll give the movie this much, the three main sisters might have been obnoxiously cast as the typical useless female leads but it was balanced by the fact that all the characters were useless, frantic ninnies. So they weren't discriminating against the "Weaker Sex" per say. Instead they just made every character so obnoxiously feeble, by the end, you pretty much want them all to die.

"Creature Feature or Horror flick?" These are the choices I'm given this week. I'm getting ramped up for Halloween. Even after a Mothman and a Vampire Hunter, I'm still in the mood for some supernatural monsters. I'll get to a real ghoulie ghost story one of these days, but it is not this day.
Yumi YamamotoPublished 7 years ago in HorrorMovie Review: 'Jigsaw'
I am so bummed out by Jigsaw, the continuation of my favorite horror franchise, Saw. It’s not that Jigsaw is bad; much of it is actually pretty good: the scares are good, the gore is outstanding, the acting is top notch B-movie stuff, a staple of the franchise. No, what bums me out is that Jigsaw fails miserably in its attempt to tie back into the original franchise which seemed to definitively end with Saw 3D back in 2010. That film, to me, was a misunderstood piece of horror trash that wonderfully, darkly, and humorously commented on the films that came before. Jigsaw upends the premise of Saw 3D, and that hurts me to my franchise fan core.
Sean PatrickPublished 7 years ago in HorrorScariest Book-To-Movie Adaptations to Watch This Fall
How many of us bookworms love to see amazing book-to-movie adaptations? I can just picture so many hands in the air. But seriously, after reading an amazing book and later seeing the movie based on it is the best — you cannot deny it. Sure, while reading the book, we already have in our minds what the characters look like from our point of view and not every movie is as exact as the book. But, movie adaptations really give a permanent face to the characters from the books. And sometimes they're very accurate! Yes, I'm admitting it even though I personally love putting faces on characters from books.

As part of a celebration of Halloween weekend, the Everyone is a Critic Movie Review podcast, which I co-host, will be doing a special bonus episode dedicated to the Saw franchise. We will discuss in-depth each of the Saw movies including the brand new Jigsaw, which opens Halloween weekend in theaters nationwide. With that in mind, I am also writing about each of the Saw movies for Horror.Media. Spoiler alert, I am a huge fan of all seven of the previous Saw movies and I am very much looking forward to the debut of Jigsaw. You can get our Saw Bonus episode and every episode of the Everyone is a Critic Movie Review Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play or anywhere podcasts are available.
Sean PatrickPublished 7 years ago in HorrorJigsaw (2017) Review
John Kramer, otherwise known as the Jigsaw killer, has become the most recent iconic horror slasher icon. In 2004, horror fans across the world witnessed the beginning of a legacy that would end up spanning more than a decade. As Freddy and Jason ruled the 80s, and Ghostface ruled the 90s, Jigsaw ruled the 00s.
