'Horror' ARCHIVE
So I've seen a few titles over the past month, but just haven't had any time to review them. So, rather than let them fall to the wayside, here are a few quick capsules. As for regular film/dvd reviews, I've ... continued»
ANIME REVIEW . Black Blood Brothers, Chapter 2 - Emergence
Episodes: 5-8
Genre: vampire, supernatural, action
Release Date: March 25, 2008
So, maybe I spoke too soon. After the somewhat derivative and forgettable first installment, Black Blood Brothers has turned into something fresh, original, and quite possibly something good. If you haven't ... continued»
MOVIE REVIEW . Nightmare Detective
Director: Shinya Tsukamoto
Starring: Hitomi, Ryuhei Matsuda, Shinya Tsukamoto, Yoshio Harada, Ren Osugi
Genre: Japan, Horror, Supernatural, Splatter
Note: This was originally going to be an "in-brief" review, but it soon ballooned out of control. It's not as polished as I would ... continued»

We've seen a number of films in the past few weeks, but just haven't had the time to write them up. As such, here are a few quick catchup reviews. Stay tuned over the coming week for brief looks at ... continued»

DVD REVIEW . Vibrator (2003)
I reviewed Vibrator a while back, and you could say I didn’t really care for it. Kino now having sent me a review copy of their DVD, I figured I would check it out again. Since my initial review I’ve ... continued»
ANIME REVIEW . Black Blood Brothers, Chapter 1 - Bad Tidings
Vampires have always maintained an undeniable appeal in genre fare, even in spite of countless lame fictions. In the film world, for every good Dracula movie there are a handful of Queen of the Damned, Vampire Wars, and Modern Vampires ... continued»
MOVIE REVIEW [He-Said, She-Said] . Stuck
HE SAID
Unlike Diary of the Dead, the commentary found in Stuart Gordon’s latest is surprisingly subtle. Based on a true story, the film sees a health-worker hit a homeless man with her car following a late night dancing, drinking, drug ... continued»
MOVIE REVIEW [He-Said, She Said] . Teeth
HE SAID:
I was hoping to compare this to Sexual Parasite: Killer Pussy, but Discotek never sent me a review copy (probably because I panned A Chinese Torture Chamber Story). Still, I have a feeling that what I saw in Teeth ... continued»

MOVIE REVIEW [He-Said, She-Said] . Diary of the Dead
HE SAID:
Ty Burr of the Boston Globe said Diary of the Dead played “like Cloverfield for grad students.” I’m sorry to say, Ty, if this is your idea of grad school argument, you’d better ask for a refund on your ... continued»
MOVIE REVIEWS [In Brief] . Chasing Ghosts, Naked Avengers, Abominable, Excel Saga
So in the interest of cleaning out my queue, this past weekend I decided to kick back and watch a few bargain flicks I've picked up over the past year, but haven't had time to watch. Sadly, with most of ... continued»
2007’s DVDs I Would Watch Again
As with our 2007 films we would watch again, here's my list of 2007 DVDs I would gladly watch again. I've tried to take these off the top of my head, as if I need to think too hard to ... continued»

DVD REVIEW . A Chinese Torture Chamber Story
Ah, the classic Category III film. Their slew of absurd violence, near always strung together by a nonsensical plot, haphazard camerawork, and out-there acting, really make these an acquired taste -- and quite possibly one that is easy to grow ... continued»
MOVIE REVIEW . Stacy (2001)
If there's one thing Zombie films have long neglected, it's zombie schoolgirls. You would think the loose-socked lot would be a natural host for the zombie apocalypse, given their somewhat valid stereotypes of superficiality, given their youthful self-obsession, blind ... continued»

MOVIE REVIEW . The Ghost (aka: Ryeong)
The state of the contemporary Asian horror film is something like that of 80's slasher these days. Following some truly brilliant entries (Ringu, A Tale of Two Sisters), the market has become saturated sub-par me-too ghost tales of stringy wet ... continued»
Dreamlogic.net’s Halloween List 2007
Wow. Is Halloween really in only two days? I meant to put up this Halloween list earlier, but at least we've got 48 hours.
Previous Dreamlogic.net Halloween lists have covered a lot of our cult and personal favorites, and ... continued»

DVD REVIEW [Early] . Battle of Okinawa
War films are easily one of my least favorite genres, not so much for the content, but for its tendency to sensationalize and glorify tragic events. Admittedly in recent years we have seen a drift from the norms (ie: ... continued»
MOVIE REVIEWS [In Brief] [He Said, She Said] . Eastern Promises, Rise: Blood Hunter, Planet Terror
Okay, so I said I'd be back on my queue films again, but Kris and I had a rather busy weekend -- albeit one packed to the brim with pure awesomeness. In fact, we were so busy, I only made ... continued»

Trailer for Ryuhei Kitamura/Clive Barker project, Midnight Meat Train
Kris and I are big fans of Clive Barker. In fact, we actually met over a mutual love of Hellraiser (part 2, to be exact). Kitamura, on the other hand, we have a mutual ambivalence towards. The guy makes pretty ... continued»
