Beware! The Blob (1972) is far less “classic” than the 1958 Steve McQueen original and far less “scary” than the 1988 remake by Tobe Hooper. However, This sequel to the original is so blatantly 70’s that its enjoyable to watch just for the time warp appeal. Believe it or not, this campy horror film, also [...] [...more]

[Disclaimer: This review has a margin of bias of approximately +/- one half star.] I can’t help it! I am such a shamefully loyal and obsessed Werner Herzog fan-boy (if that’s possible for such a filmmaker) that its difficult for me to review any Herzog film with 100% objectivity. The first thing I want to point [...] [...more]

A majority of films set in the south of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama tend to extol the culture that abounds there as a centerpiece to their stories. Be it colorful, warm characters or the heavy presence of blues, gospel or soul music, more often than not we are swept up in the lively backdrop [...] [...more]
If you were to define “creepy” … how would you do it? Its likely that, depending on who’s being asked that question, the answer would vary immensely. For myself, “creepy” is rarely defined as something “scary” or grotesque. Having grown up watching monster movies and various forms of horror flicks, very little of that material [...] [...more]
