OK, you guys know my feeling on remakes, and if you don’t, well usually I think they are a terrible idea. There’s plenty of great talent out there that Hollywood shouldn’t have to keep redoing classics. …continue reading

The Entity is one of those films I remember from my youth. I’m surprised I wasn’t traumatized by it along with The Shining, maybe I was, I don’t know.

Even the crappy Asian horror films have great style and an approach that I never get tired of soaking up. Asia Extreme is just about the best place to find these films. …continue reading
