Silent Night, Bloody Night (1974)
Oct 12th
aka Death House
Rated R | Review date: 13-Oct-2009
In spirit of Halloween being around the corner, I plan on releasing nothing but horror reviews for the remainder of October. To start things off, I’ve pulled a cult classic, Silent Night, Bloody Night.
Silent Night, Bloody Night was directed and written by the late Theodore Gershuny, and it was his last feature film (he only directed three in his career). What he left us with was a low-budget horror masterpiece. The movie opens up with a narration by Diane Adams (Mary Woronov; The Devils Rejects), setting the tone for this creepy chiller. The More >
Assassination of a High School President (2008)
Oct 10th
Who said there’s nothing left to do with high school comedies?
Rated R | Review date: 10-Oct-2009
Up and coming director Brett Simon’s Assassination of a High School President takes the high school comedy to a whole new level. It provides a take on neo-noir detective films mixed with classic high school situations and humor.

Girlfriend Experience, The (2009)
Oct 9th
Soderburgh’s version of mumblecore…sort of.

The film stars Sasha Grey, award-winning adult film starlet, as Chelsea, an upscale New York City escort. Right away, upon hearing that the film’s star is of the adult industry, it is to be expected that many will stray away from this film. This however, is a big mistake in the case of The Girlfriend Experience. Though it is often the case that adult More >
Zombieland (2009)
Oct 2nd
Sometimes you have to appreciate the little things…like good old fashioned zombie movies (and Twinkies)
2-October-2009
Ruben Fleischer makes his feature debut with “Zombieland,” an all out action-adventure-comedy-horror that will surely be one of the top films of 2009. The story opens with a post-apocalyptic world overrun by flesh-craving zombies. These zombies however are not the typical Romeroian zombies. Rather, we have virus-infected, fast moving zombies reminiscent of “28 Days Later.” True zombie fans need not be afraid; aside from their quickness, the makeup and mannerisms of the zombies are everything true to the mythical creatures.
