[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Don’t Breathe turns one thing that’s common in the horror genre on it’s head: most often films will start with a solid concept, but then they break down by the third act into a typical cat and mouse game and too often with leaps of logic to tie the ends together. Breathe decides […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Shark movies is another flavor of horror genre that I’m typically a very easy lay for. The Shallows is a very slick production and better quality than we’ve gotten over the last many years from Syfy’s collection of Sharknado films. Most often shark films are campy fun, but every so often someone takes […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Green Room is an incredibly well made Punk Rock thriller that is one of those films that the cast and trailer along give the impression it’ll be good, but by the time it’s over and the credits roll you’re leaning over to the person next to you saying, “dang that was good.” The cast […]

Seeing a new film with a fresh audience is usually either a really terrible experience, or a really awesome one.  I was lucky enough to attend a screening of Green Room at the SF Alamo, where texting and talking are STRICTLY forbidden. This helped the overall feel of writer/director Jeremy Saulnier’s film. Sometimes touring can be hard, […]

Just in time for the Easter season, a new cinematic tale of family, faith, and witches.  What, you thought I was going to be talking about Risen?  The film in which Voldemort’s brother Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes) and Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) go hunting for another Chosen One?  Because there are lots of theaters apparently promoting Risen and The VVitch […]

[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] The Witch (or the VVitch as it’s labeled on the movie posters, in an homage to early 17th century printers who would use two Vs next to each other rather than a capital W), is a stark, haunting period piece set in 1630’s New England. For this to be a debut feature film […]

I need to start by complaining, and I’m sorry in advance.  It seems to be an ongoing complaint that when I go to a screening (or even a regular showing), but the amount of entitled assholes (both sexes) who go to movies to talk at full volume and laugh during the ‘high tension’ moments is […]

The Psycho prequel tv series from A & E was just renewed for two more seasons, meaning even more weird mother/son relationships from Bates Motel. The show centers on Norma Bates (Vera Farmiga) and her son, Norman (Freddie Highmore), as they murder and connive their way into local celebrity.  The series has been pulling pretty admirable viewership numbers, […]

That’s right horror fans, a THIRD installment of Human Centipede is upon us, and it’s titled The Final Sequence. Returning to the series is Bill Boss from Human Centipede Pt 1 (played by Dieter Laser), Dwight from Human Centipede Part II (played by Laurence R. Harvey), The State Governor (Eric Roberts), and Bree Olson.  Here is the official first trailer for the […]

A ‘penny dreadful’ is a type of 19th-century cheap British fiction publication not unlike a serial magazine story with lurid and sensational subject matter, often times being dark and devilish. Showtime’s Penny Dreadful draws upon many public domain characters of the time, including Dorian Gray from Oscar Wilde’s “The Picture of Dorian Gray”, Mina Harker and […]
