Sometimes a mystery is as turbulent as a whirlwind. It brings about twists and turns which do not favor the one who is unwilling to leave it unsolved, almost as though there is an awareness of the efforts which are being made to solve it. Such is the case with Short Night of Glass Dolls;..
Read moreJack Brooks: Monster Slayer (2007)
As monotonous as plumbing is, slaying monsters is far from unexciting. In fact, it is the main draw of Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer. You might be thinking, "With a title like that, does the film live up to its name?" Well, even though there aren't many scenes in which monsters are slain, the emphasis is..
Read moreChildren Shouldn’t Play with Dead Things (1972)
To resurrect the dead, or not to resurrect the dead, that is the question: whether 'tis better to leave well enough alone. Shakespearean, innit? Although I can't say for certain what the Bard would make of Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things, I'm sure he would find the dialogue amusing, what with its penchant for..
Read moreDon’t Panic (1988)
It is not often that a birthday party from hell occurs, but when it does, you can bet your bottom dollar that pin the tail on the donkey pales in comparison to playing with a Ouija board. But hey, as long as everyone is having a good time, they can open as many doors as..
Read moreThe Sword and the Sorcerer (1982)

Read moreZombie (1979)
I wouldn't mind having a cake in the shape of the worm-eyed zombie's head at some point. It might weird someone people out, but I don't care because this movie is quite the experience. It is gory, entertaining, shocking, hopeless, aquatic, lush, eerie, low-budget, mysterious, surprising, menacing, atmospheric, memorable, violent, intense, unrestrained, trashy, and apocalyptic...
Read moreCemetery of Terror (1985)
If you're looking to spend a night in a cemetery, then you better be sure that doing so doesn't entail encountering a Satan worshipping serial killer unless you're willing to risk your life. It's unlikely you would forget the unsightliness of grisly deaths, especially if you and your friends are pranksters. After all, it's all..
Read moreSpookies (1986)
What a wild experience. This is a movie that as soon as the title appears, you are taken to another world. It is a world in which the surrealness is defined by the amalgamation of eerie synth music, a birthday party which no one attends, protean creatures, and the uncertainty as to what opening a..
Read moreNoroi: The Curse (2005)
While I haven't dabbled in paranormal research myself, I was into Masafumi's quest for the truth behind the supernatural occurrences. As such, I felt as though I was observing his sphere of influence. Conversations about ectoplasmic worms, depictions of demonic possession, and the disappearances of locals -- I didn't expect those to have such attentiveness,..
