Welcome to our first side dish – a quick talk about a great public domain horror movie. In fact, this one is the first recognized horror movie – House of the Devil from Georges Méliès. While it’s short – 3 minutes – its fascinating to see this put together and be a horror movie (loosely defined).

  • Evil Dead: Rise – Appetizer Review

    I was very afraid they’d screw this up. They didn’t. So captured the best stuff about the Evil Dead mythology. Enough creepy and scary for anyone. Enjoyed it. Probably the freakiest one of the series. I thought the original was freaky when I was 10 and it was new, but this one is pretty scary…

    The original graphic novel by James O’Barr is one of my favorite things to read. the original movie came very close to capturing it 100%. Don’t get me wrong – it’s a pretty fantastic movie, but I’ve always felt there were just a few things they could have done that would have put it over…

  • In a Violent Nature – Appetizer Review

    I really liked this one. Definitely not a typical slasher. Shot in 4:3 format and most of the movie is from behind the killer (or someone else) as they walk along. Like watching a Red Dead Redemption playthrough. Something about this one just pulled me in.

  • The Damned – Appetizer Review

    Is it a supernatural entity or psychological because of the isolation? Find out at the end. Solid movie if not anything super.

  • April Fool’s Day – Appetizer Review

    This is an early 80’s slasher, but has a fun twist at the end. I liked it more than I thought I would. Maybe I should watch horror movies for all major holidays.
