There has always been a burning need for Nazi horror films. It is the fundamental nature of something so historically significant that always gets labelled as one of the greatest horrors of the modern age. It makes for good horror films. Recently, the movie Outpost (our review of it is here) took an insight into […]

Backwoods is coming to DVD in the USA on June 23, 2009. That’s the latest news that IMDb has for the film. Some will have heard of it, most perhaps will not, as it is a somewhat less known horror film. The film is described as a ‘fight-for-your-life’ thriller in which a group of 8 […]

Just when you thought we’d won the debate over whether or not horror movies can cause people to do bad things, another story comes up about how some misguided people saw a horror movie and decided that it was time to turn fiction into reality. There’s just no teaching some people.
About a year ago, just […]

The story admittedly does as well. The film will be based on the same-titled “The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft” which is a comic […]

Bernard Hermann’s bonechilling score to Hitchcock’s classic movie Psycho was put up for auction today. Although quite a varied piece, the score is made especially famous, if not infamous by this point, for its use of shrieking violins to accentuate the tension and release in the climactic scene. It’s been spoofed, copied, replicated, and referenced […]

Total Film have discovered that the Joyce Buckingham novel “Demon Keeper” is going to be made into a full-length feature film. The director of the animated feature “The Tale of Desperaux,” Sam Fell, is set to direct the feature. The plot is pretty typical somewhat child-oriented ghost-story.

As a somewhat intellectual snob, I’ve always thought of Dante Alighieri as a master writer whose epic tale of hell in “Inferno” was rivalled by none. Gruesome, terrifying, a serious and literal portrait of hell that would forever be the pinnacle of macabre literature. As a horror fan I believe that his work stands out […]

As the news of Remakes comes rolling in, and we’re reminded that not all remakes are equal, there is a new story of yet another remake. This time, however, it’s not a beloved franchise of the 80s or an exploitation film of the 70s that’s being remade. Instead, a 1957 film is being brought into […]
