Anything positive pertaining to Freddy Kruger these days, in the midst of the franchise being in limbo, is a big plus... So I jumped at the chance to react to this very short fan film here. I appreciate any creativity put into these things. Enjoy, people.

This is a gem in some ways for me... It doesn't get the love it should, and I actually understand why. I also understand why this was a box office bomb when it was released back then, but I can appreciate some of the original ideas that were brought to the table here. So I decided to look back at the pros and cons of what was supposed to be horror's new franchise face in what was Ray Sawyer. Enjoy...

There was news today that broke my heart... But it shouldn't have suprised me one bit after the last rodeo. But to say the least, there are enough shark movies out here, good AND bad, to know to refrain from the same fucking mistakes in this sub genre. Enjoy, people.

I figured I'd beat the cast/crew to the punch, speak some good mojo into the air, and do commentary for this in hopes that the Halloween Kills trailer drops this Saturday... Not to mention this movie was pretty solid. While Michael Myers is my favorite slasher of all time, I do have some issues with this film. But they don't overtake the fact that it's a solid entry in the franchise, and a great a...

With Bill having been killed in volume 2, I guess we thought Quintin Tarantino was done with the property altogether... The story was told, and the mission was accomplished. But movie geeks like me have been wanting this since the first movie. Ever since Beatrix killed Vernita Green, then told her daughter Nikkia "I'll be waiting". That was the perfect set up. And even though there's only talks of...

The OG turns 40 today, and I honestly found a new appreciation for this one today... Just the simplicity of it, with a mixture of a controversial/confusing ending, makes this flick tick to this day. Not to mention Mrs. Voorhees was a pretty vicious serial killer, and the original Camp Crystal Lake slasher. That is before old Jason shows up in the series to take up the mantle. Enjoy, folks.

Whether she is Becky with the good hair or not, this actually caught me by surprise... I'm all for a good random, B-movie type of revenge thriller. Enjoy, y'all.

Yet another trailer I went into completely blind... Hence the blackout title I guess. Enjoy, folks.

There's this ongoing thing... The idea that the horror genre was sure enough dead in the 90s, at least until Scream came into the fold and broke some new mold. And while Scream is epic and all, I feel like we shouldn't sleep on 90s horror that came before it in any way. We got some bangers here for sure. Some of mixed quality I'm certain, but these are great genre pieces to say the least. Enjoy, p...

I have to be honest when I say that Hellraiser is no far from my go to series, or one of my favorite horror franchises overall... It's just too damn insane, and that says a lot coming from a horror movie fanatic. But when I read the news that Pinhead was on his way back to not only the big screen but the small screen as well, they had my curiosity for sure. I just never expected David Gordon Green...

This may be my second favorite sequel in the series (after Dream Warriors of course) so when I found out it was Lisa Wilcox's birthday today, I had to do some commentary... There is a lot of fun, scares, gore, and classic Freddy business going on here. Also it's got one of thee most disgusting dream sequence deaths in the entire series. Like nasty enough to give this sequel a very special place in...

Anytime I get attatched to a movie character, no matter the genre, I expect them to still be there if there's room for a sequel... No, I mean I still expect them to BE there, as in the same actor or actress from before. Too many times, Hollywood has just up and recast beloved movie characters we were very familiar with, whether the newcomers looked the part or not. It's upsetting at times. But oth...

Really solid movies based on video games are hard to come by... There's an ongoing curse that's been in effect forever (Double Dragon anyone?), and it's not necessarily getting any better. But with the recent success of Sonic The Hedgehog, I feel that a new door has been left ajar for a different wave. One can only hope. But there has always been good and bad categories these adaptations fall in u...

Camp Crystal Lake, Higgens Haven, Manhattan... Jason is quite the traveling undead man for sure. So being as though the tenth entry was on the rise, there were only but so many places they could take the old mongoloid. Space, while not too too surprising, makes for some creative kills and other things to play around with. So I wasn't too upset by what they advertised here. Because that's exactly w...

A feminazi/LGBTQ indie vampire movie... Of course it sounds crazy enough for me to look into and check out the trailer. That is all. Enjoy, folks.

I honestly don't look to a slasher movie to be "fun" or excitingly hilarious, or anything to that extent... I really just want to be scared of them, intimidated, disturbed, etc. All the standard things a standard slasher should bring. Now being as though the genre is seemingly going through a resurgence right now, it's a good time to make sure any icons who have lost their way, find their way back...

Al Capone has had so many adaptations on screen but when you get a seasoned character actor like Tom Hardy to play the man, I'm on board... The guy is one of thee greatest actors working today. Being as though Legend is one of my favorite films from him and it's a dope gangster period piece, I'm really curious to see how Hardy dives into this here portrayal. Enjoy, people.

The Scream series is indeed on of the most popular slasher franchises to come about after the likes of OG slashers like Norman Bates, Leatherface, Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, etc. And even though I look at Ghostface as more of a costume itself and not an actual character, these movies are still very entertaining. This is my least favorite in the series, but there is still classi...

I can never seem to just do these horror franchise commentaries in perfect order... So since I've only done commentary over the original film, I skipped right over to this gem. This isn't a perfect entry, but it delivers some goodies that I haven't gotten in a Halloween movie since. This film was skewered so badly during and after production, so it always gets shit on. But I'm one of the ones who...

I was in a black horror flick type of mood (once my failed commentaries took a toll on me), and luckily I found this gem on Tubi... I hadn't seen this one in a minute, so now was a better time than ever. Big shout out to Mr. Ernest Dickerson for having such a heavy hand in the horror genre from early on in his career. I was really glad to find this again and talk my talk during, especially being a...

I absolutely adore a great film that plays on senses... Wait Until Dark, Hear No Evil, Jenifer 8, etc. So being as though I've slept on this here for sooo very long, I took advantage of Netflix once again and decided to check this out. I actually was not disappointed at all, but I do a lot of talking to the screen due to characters making dumb decisions. But we wouldn't have a solid horror/thrille...

Maaan, listen... When I say this here was quite the horror experience, I couldn't put it into any other words. Just when I thought Pennywise was the only one to creepily clown around on screen, I came across Art The Clown himself. This guy is no laughing matter whatsoever. Enjoy, people.

Anthologies are always a great time in horror... Creepshow, Tales From The Crypt, Tales From The Hood, they all can tie together so well. So I was curious to see what made Sam Raimi put his seal of approval on this one here. Enjoy, folks.

I stumbled upon a true black cinema comedy classic earlier today, so I had to speak on it and during it... This one is a gem. I was feeling it during this one, but not too much. That is all. Enjoy, people.

How many of you horror movie buffs can honestly say you scare easily?... I'm talking the slightest sign of danger type of scared. Not I. It takes more than enough to scare this CineManiac, and it doesn't even always have to be a wild and off the charts scare. It can be something as simple as dialogue, or a single shot in a film, etc. It's all about how the scare itself is executed. But there are a...
