The Orphan Killer is a 2011 film from writer/director Matt Farnsworth. This film gets an inordinate amount of love on the twittersphere(I will never forgive myself for saying that word) so I decided to check it out myself. A friend of mine had a copy on DVD and pretty much begged me to keep it […]

On Activities out of the Norm I often think that as fans of horror, we hold our franchises closest to our hearts. So, as we are disappointed when they inevitably start to decline and lose that magic, at the same time we expect it to happen. The thing is, though, the producers of these movies […]
Amityville Haunting
I don’t even know where to begin with this review so I guess I’ll start by describing the events that lead up to me watching it. Picture a bitterly cold Monday afternoon, you’re sitting at home writing some Javascript code(as you are wont to do) in preparation for an important job interview. Your brain tells […]
Dear Zombie Hunter, You were so very clever to use the always badass Danny Trejo has a lure. It looked as though I would be watching a movie about Danny Trejo killing zombies. Well, I couldn’t have been more wrong. In actuality, this was a movie that has something to do with a drug epidemic […]

The Horror by R.L. Shaffer as reviewed by Renfield Rasputin Haunted attractions across the nation bring in millions of dollars every Halloween season.

For Halloween, I made a list of 24 hours of horror movies for Halloween (you can read that post here). I had a lot of fun doing it, so I thought I’d make one for Christmas. This list assumes a two-hour running time for each movie. So, if you don’t feel like spending time with […]
