SXTAPE

I’m pretty tired of found footage but every now and then a movie will come out and completely blow away any and all preconceived notions I have of these types of films. SXTAPE was not that film. There is so much potential with this concept that it was frustrating to watch SXTAPE fail again and […]

Thanatomorphose and Contracted. A Body-Horror 2 for 1

Well, well, well. I have returned from my long-standing self imposed sentence, dancing in and out of consciousness staring at strings of code and cursing the day that X-Pages became a thing. For those who are unfamiliar with me, I started this website in February of 2013 and watched it grow in to a community […]

Leprechaun Origins review

I’ll be the first to admit that the Leprechaun movies aren’t very good.  I believe the original was supposed to be a somewhat scary horror flick, but was too ridiculous to take seriously.  I mean, he killed a guy by jumping on him with a pogo stick.  Serious horror this was not.  It’s like they […]

Rigor Mortis review

You ever have one of those movies that you watch, get to the end and ask, “What was that?”  For me, that movie was Juno Mak’s Rigor Mortis, a vampire/possession-zombie(?) movie that starts and ends in some kind of gray mud, which can probably serve as some sort of commentary on the entire film.  It […]

Cabin Fever: Patient Zero Review

2014 Starring Sean Astin, Currie Graham and Ryan Donowho Directed By Kaare Andrews Following in the shoes of Ti West and Eli Roth has to be a daunting task. Ti West – the man responsible for some of the best horror films of the last 10 years – made a bad Cabin Fever movie, so […]

Under the Skin mini review

Thoughts on Under the Skin, in three different stages: 1. During the movie. What is going on?  She’s an alien, right?  That’s what the description said.  Is she going to be driving around in this van for the entire movie?  Are those guys actually having sex with her and then getting destroyed, or are they […]

The Granny review

Review by Zena S. Dixon The Granny was directed by Luca Bercovici and released in 1995. With the title of the film, you should know what you’re getting into. The film opens to a medieval exorcism involving a father and daughter. As expected, death makes its appearance in this situation. The daughter quickly manages to wrap her legs around […]
