(By Mark Gonzalez) ​If you have ever been driving on the highway and found yourself stuck behind a large, black party bus--glimpses of neon and bottles flashing through the window--and wished that every person inside that bus was dead, Bus Party To Hell might be the film for you. However, if you enjoy well-made films with plot points that are not homophobic, Bus Party To Hell is probably not the film for you...

Ah, Arizona. It’s a beautiful place. Especially if you like to hike. Or be alone. Or pretend you’re a professional golfer. There’s A LOT of golf in Arizona. But as beautiful as it is, it can also be a deadly place. Forget the rattle snakes, scorpions, and dumbasses taking selfies on the sides of cliffs. Arizona is a place where the heat is so intense, it can make less stable humans a little crazy. Especially if that person is Danny fucking McBride in Arizona…

[Review] "What Keeps You Alive" is a relentless tragedy that keeps the blood pumping

If I had to guess, I’d say a good portion of you out there have had a “crazy ex”. I know I have. At least, we all tell ourselves. But what if they actually were? I would hope that none of them ever tried to actually kill you. We spend so much time loving and trying to screw the person that we’re with, that a lot of us become blind to them. Their actions. The things they say. The way they look at us. We become so blind that we often forget to ask the most important question, posed in the film What Keeps You Alive, which is, do you really know the person you love at all?...

If you were to look out your window right now, could you see your neighbors? Maybe your neighbor is the old man who sits on his lawn yelling at kids. Or maybe you have the hot girl or guy next door living by you. Whoever they are, ask yourself, how well do you really know them? The truth is, we never really know who anyone is. As the new film Summer of 84 reminds us, “even serial killers live next door to somebody”…

Picture
(By Scott Starr) Cujo, directed by Lewis Teague, (Cat’s Eye), centers around the Trentons, a family of three who are cast into turmoil when a monster begins disrupting their way of life. The question is, is the monster a man or a beast? For most viewers, the answer will be obvious.  The film’s focus revolves around Donna Trenton, played by scream queen Dee Wallace, and her son Tad, played by Danny Pintauro who are trapped and attacked within the confines of a 1978 Ford Pinto by the title character who is one of the grisliest looking canines you’ve ever seen...

If you think back to childhood, chances are, each of you had a make-believe game that you liked to play. Mine was my friends and I pretending one of us was Jason Voorhees hunting the rest of us down one by one, but I was a fucked up kid. No matter what your game was, I’d bet that, as an adult, people might think you were strange for still playing it. But what would happen if you had never let yourself grow out of it? Playing at the Philadelphia Unnamed Film Festival (PUFF) in September, Braid aims to explore that very idea…

Ah, Thanksgiving. A time for great food. The sweet scent of fall turning to winter just around the corner. And in the kitchen, the sound of mom and dad arguing over the burnt turkey while you sit awkwardly with family you hardly ever see and count down the minutes until you get that slice of pumpkin pie and can be excused. For many of us, that’s about as bad as Thanksgiving gets, but in Derelicts, playing at the Philadelphia Unnamed Film Festival (PUFF) in September, things take a MUCH darker turn…

​Way back in 1989, Charles Band, owner of Full Moon Entertainment, blessed horror fans with the first entry in a franchise that has run for decades, Puppet Master. While beloved by some fans, Puppet Master and its sequels have since been forgotten by a large section of the general public, and undeservedly so. Now, Cinestate and Fangoria have partnered with Full Moon to bring the series back to the mainstream in Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich, and let me tell you, these aren’t your daddy’s puppets…
