Our Forgotten Darkman: My Favorite Raimi Superhero! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Lock the doors and hide the cigar clippers—it’s time to shine some light on my favorite forgotten superhero, Sam Raimi‘s Darkman! Darkman just celebrated its 36th anniversary and remains a groundbreaking cult classic that revolutionized the superhero genre, earning an underground fan base (myself included) that still rivals any blockbuster today. So when the rumblings of Liam Neeson’s interest in reprising his role, plus Raimi hunting down financing for a Darkman remake…I have to ask: why not ju
'Don't Move' Review - Giant Arachnid Shines In Bloody Fun Creature Feature (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As a lifelong creature-feature fan, I’m an easy mark for a movie with one simple premise: people versus a giant monster. Maclain Nelson’s Don’t Move understands the assignment and delivers the carnage of Final Destination, the spider chills of Stephen King’s IT miniseries, and the squirmy dark humor of Frank Marshall’s Arachnophobia. But underneath all the blood, guts, and webs, Don’t Move also has something I wasn’t necessarily expecting: heart. Adapted from the novel by James Murray and Darren
Beware The Moon: An American Werewolf In London At 45 [Interview] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Grab your pentagrams, stay off the moors, and let’s make a reservation at The Slaughtered Lamb— because we’re celebrating 45 years of John Landis’ 1981 masterpiece, An American Werewolf in London! Revolutionizing the horror genre, Landis and effects master Rick Baker created the blueprint for modern horror-comedy and introduced special effects that permanently changed Hollywood’s creature designs. The film follows two American backpackers, David (David Naughton) and Jack (Griffin Dunne), who wan
Special Effects Pioneer Todd Masters on 'Pinocchio Unstrung' [Interview] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pinocchio Unstrung, the latest in the ever-expanding Twisted Childhood Universe from Rhys Frake-Waterfield (Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey), might very well be the best entry in the cinematic canon yet. While our own reviewer wasn’t necessarily a fan, audiences and critics largely agree – Pinocchio Unstrung has the sauce. A huge part of that, no doubt, owes to the simply stunning practical gore and puppetry on display. In an era of CG-overload, especially when it comes to horror, it’s always a
'Mars Attacks!' is the Ultimate July 4th Movie [Video] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tim Burton’s Mars Attacks! is a must-watch this Fourth of July. Sure, we know Jaws, and I Know What You Did Last Summer are mid-summer classics, but nothing captures the zaniness of supreme Americana quite like Tim Burton’s unsung masterpiece. With a stacked cast featuring Jack Nicholson, Annette Bening, Jack Black, Glenn Close, and more, it’s the most fun you’ll have today, and it will light up your world more than any number of fireworks could.
