I felt very overwhelmed by picking and choosing for these lists. I will try to keep “my reasons why” short and sweet. Best Movies of 2013: Maniac: Elijah is perfection and the P.O.V. was extremely effective. It looked amazing, the soundtrack is amazing and Elijah played a very sympathetic wackadoo. I would marry this movie, […]

Dusty’s Best/Worst of 2013
Top 10 Movies of 2013 10.The Battery – Took me a couple viewings to really like it. It’s slow. It drags in parts. The characters aren’t overly likable. But it feels like a realistic depiction of the impending zombie apocalypse. It’s a different look at the genre, so it’s something even Renfield may be able to appreciate. […]

To remedy my lack of spirit I spent some quality time with Black Christmas recently. I’m speaking of the original 1974 film and not […]
I love Friday the 13th. It’sa chance to pretend it’s October for a day and indulge in horror. For most people, that means a marathon of all the Friday the 13th movies. But I say there is no need to limit horror to this one franchise just because it shares the same name as the […]
No, really! Enough with the zombies! I’m really sick of the all the books and movies about crusty, rotten, nonliving creatures of the apocalypse meandering around looking to eat “BRRAAAAIIINNNSSS”. I like the classics like everyone else (Night, Dawn, Day, Return of…)and I respect Romero for everything he has done with our industry. I even […]
