Machine Head (2011)

Three friends find themselves caught in a struggle for survival when a crazed killer crashes their spring break festivities in MACHINE HEAD. This godawful piece of shit is brought to us by director Jim Valdez, who has absolutely no sense of style or storytelling skills. MACHINE HEAD looks and feels like it was filmed on a handheld camcorder from 1998. The entire production is amateurish at best,

The Final (2010)

Shocking. Violent. Sickening. THE FINAL is dangerous and exploitative cinema that hides behind a mask of sophistication, when truthfully it reshapes horrifying real-life events in order to champion human monsters.

The Ugly (1997)

One of New Zealand's few Horror exports proved to be one of the best genre films to be received in 1997: THE UGLY. Scott Reynolds' chilling psychological thriller shares much of the same power and intensity as the similarly-themed THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and OPEN YOUR EYES, with added elements of ghastly horror. Serial killer Simon Cartwright is interviewed by a beautiful young psychologist at

Going to Pieces (2007)

GOING TO PIECES is a documentary based on Adam Rockoff's text of the same title. While it would be extremely difficult to cover all of the many titles included in the original book, the film version does an amazing job at tackling as much material as possible in a short amount of time. What it also offers and improves upon are the lengthy on-screen interviews with the actors, directors, and film

Alice, Sweet Alice (1976)

Alfred Sole may only have directed four features throughout the duration of his career, but his remarkable contribution into the pre-Slasher cycle with ALICE, SWEET ALICE has solidified his name in Horror.

Dark Night of the Scarecrow (1981)

Originally premiering on CBS as a made-for-TV movie, this brilliantly-crafted revenge film shares as much in common with Hitchcockian suspense thrillers as it does with the early 80's Slashers of its time, minus the gratuitous gore. DARK NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW finds the simpleminded Bubba on the run from an unruly mob after he is falsely accused of killing a young girl. The four vigilantes find

Scorned (2013)

In the classic tradition of BASIC INSTINCT and FATAL ATTRACTION comes SCORNED, a sexy new thriller starring AnnaLynne McCord and Billy Zane.

Come Out and Play (2012)

A vacationing couple discovers that their remote island getaway has been overrun by a clan of killer children in the terrifying survival film, COME OUT AND PLAY, from 2012.
