REVIEW: [REC] (2007)

[REC] (2007): Reviewed by BRYAN SCHUESSER
Directors Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza made a Spanish film in the style that The Blair Witch Project, Cloverfield, and Quarantine (which is the U.S. remake of the film in review). All three of the aforementioned films made me nauseous. The shaky camera and in-focus/out-of-focus lensing drove me nuts, gave me a headache, and forced me to take “breaks” during the viewing of all three films. Now, with that viewpoint in mind, I still liked [REC] immensely. I…

Let the Right One In (2008): Reviewed by BRYAN SCHUESSLER
Director Tomas Alfredson has blown me away with his indie vampire flick, Let the Right One In (Låt den rätte komma in)(2008). I really loved this film.

Midnight Meat Train on DVD
Wednesday | November 26th, 2008 | 7:42 am | Posted by DrGore | No Comments
Ryuhei Kitamura’s debut American horror film Midnight Meat Train gave rise to some friction between horror fans and Lionsgate earlier this year when the latter dumped the film into a limited amount of theaters. This adaptation of the Clive Barker story has since had a healthy run on VOD and FearNet, but if you haven’t seen it there then February 17th is the day for you. That’s when Lionsgate Home Entertainment releases the film on DVD and Blu-Ray.

The Angry Sea
Monday | November 24th, 2008 | 12:22 pm | Posted by DrGore | No Comments
So, lets put the creepy and scary back into horror huh!
Check out this trailer for The Angry Sea. Its a dark and rather creepy tale of some people on a ship in the 1800’s. Further more this is an indie flick, but from the looks of the trailer, the production value is top notch. Even with a limited budget, and limited resources, Keith Wong and his crew have put together a supernatural flick that is believable.
Check out the film synopsis,…
