Nekrotronic is, quite simply, a fantastic looking film and a helluva good time from start to finish.

The Boys Season One isn’t better or worse than the comic from which it spawned. It’s just a very different, very enjoyable, beast with a ton of potential.

Luz is to demonic possession films what Pontypool is to zombie films.

The puppets are the real stars of Critters Attack! and thankfully we get a heaping helping of them.

What you need to know going in, is that this first season of Titans is an adaptation of the first arc of The New Teen Titans.

June 21, 2019 0 10

Shot in South Carolina during a hurricane, Shed is one of those films that exemplifies the struggles and triumphs of indie filmmakers.

June 14, 2019 0 24

As far as directorial debuts go, The Girl in the Crawlspace is a strong one.

Overall, Godzilla: King of the Monsters is a triumph.

Scary Stories: A Documentary (2019)

May 15, 2019 0 28

Scary Stories: A Documentary inspires going back to reread the series, making your own art, defending literature from censorship, and flying your horror freak-flag.

Saint Bernard (2013/2019)

Paul Brian McCoy

May 14, 2019 0 12

So, I’ve referenced Gilliam, Jodorowsky, Troma, Peter Jackson, Kafka, and David Lynch so far, and the finale brought the grotesque excess of Yoshihiro Nishimura’s Tokyo Gore Police. I should FUCKING LOVE this movie and want to have its babies.

Don’t want to go searching through the site for all the Easter Zombie Movie Marathon reviews for this year? You’re in luck!

EZMM 2019 Day 9.1: Cargo (2018)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 23, 2019 0 14

Cargo helped to elevate the marathon above the standard zombie fare, and that’s really what makes this annual event worth it.

EZMM 2019 Day 8.1: Outpost (2008)

Paul Brian McCoy

After watching Overlord, I realized that we’d never watched Outpost for an Easter Zombie Movie Marathon.

EZMM 2019 Day 7.2: Overlord (2018)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 21, 2019 0 10

Overlord is a solid entry in the zombie canon, with strong performances, spectacular effects and more than a few good gore gross-outs.

EZMM 2019 Day 7.1: Black Summer Episodes 1.06, 1.07, 1.08

Paul Brian McCoy

April 21, 2019 0 10

I almost don’t want a second season at this point. I’m perfectly happy with Black Summer standing alone as a 4 hour and 40 minute long zombie epic.

EZMM 2019 Day 6.1: Ravenous (Les Affames) 2017

Paul Brian McCoy

April 20, 2019 0 36

Ravenous is easily the best film we’ve seen this year so far, and ranks as one of the strongest entries in eleven years of the marathon.

EZMM 2019 Day 5.2: Kingdom Episode 1.06

Paul Brian McCoy

April 19, 2019 0 3

The first season finale of Kingdom was pretty much up to the standard of each episode so far.

EZMM 2019 Day 5.1: Locked Away (2006-2017)

Paul Brian McCoy

April 19, 2019 0 14

Locked Away is a film that aspiring low/no budget horror filmmakers should probably put on their watch list.

EZMM 2019 Day 4.2: Kingdom Episode 1.05

Paul Brian McCoy

April 18, 2019 0 5

This episode was a bit of a return to the slow burn of the opening chapters but does a good job maintaining and building tension while also laying out new mysteries to unravel.
