Dark Skies

I have loved horror for years now. I could talk for a while about what decades stand out for me in the genre, who's the best scream queen and why George Romero makes such good zombie films. The family idea and building a creepy and intense atmosphere usually work for me. Classical films like Poltergeist, Pet Sematary and Cujo are some of my favorites. Insidious from 2011 is the closest recent horror movie like...

Evil Dead

Kind of like the movie The Exorcist, if you have never seen Evil Dead, you get hounded. It is a film known and loved by many people and put director Sami Raimi on the map. The movie also has an "out of control" manner to it which I find appealing. I love this movie.The plot revolves around a college student going to a Tennessee cabinet and as time goes on, learns of the demons...

Warm Bodies

As you might know, horror is my preferred genre. I find horror just more appealing than other movie genres and I watch horror movies practically daily. Warm Bodies kind of fits into the horror genre, well somewhat. It is a mix of everything and will appeal to the tweens and teen audiences in addition to horror fans. Well anyway, I liked Warm Bodies a lot.The movie is based on the novel of the same name by Isaac...

Teeth

As a horror movie fan who has watched close to one horror film a week for over the last five years now, Teeth takes it's place as one of the strangest ones I have seen. The plot follows around the character of Dawn (Jess Weixler) who finds teeth in her female parts and uses it to to her advantage. I will let you guess how she does it.The plot starts out on a dry note with a useless...
