The Reviewinator: Tremors 5 – Bloodlines (2015)

Posted on October 8, 2015 by Rob

When I see the name Tremors, I immediately look for two names: S.S. Wilson and Brent Maddock. These guys wrote the first movie together and were involved in all the sequels (including the TV series) up to and including Tremors 4. While the series’ … Continue reading →

The Reviewinator: Fear the Walking Dead (Season 1)

Posted on October 6, 2015 by Rob

I’m a Walking Dead fan. They’re the only comics I buy, which I’ve been buying since they started in 2003. There was often talk of adapting it into a movie back then, which I was always against as there were so many … Continue reading →

Scream Factory Presents – Howling II (1985)

Posted on October 2, 2015 by castordurden

Irony plays a major role in why Scream Factory decided to release Howling II, an inept, poker-faced sequel to Joe Dante’s already overrated lycanthrope ode. From costuming (the cumbersome dominatrix garb of Danning) to atrocious special effects (the shots of … Continue reading →

The Reviewinator: God’s Not Dead (2014)

Posted on September 24, 2015 by Rob

So I’ve finally forced myself to watch God’s Not Dead, a movie about angry atheists, written by, directed by, and starring angry Christians. How do YOU think it turned out? As an atheist who’s read and studied the bible, I had some reservations … Continue reading →

Scream Factory Presents – Shocker (1989)

Posted on September 21, 2015 by castordurden

Horace Pinker (Mitch Pileggi) was meant to be the next evolution in Wes Craven’s horror odyssey. A bald serial killer who worships at the throne of channel-surfing, Pileggi hops right on board the gargantuan overacting inherent in the role. In … Continue reading →

Scream Factory Presents – The Legacy (1978)

Posted on September 19, 2015 by castordurden

The cover artwork is a hissing cat hovering over witch’s fingernails and the assumption of supernatural chicanery isn’t entirely unfounded. While this occult thriller can be lumbering and devoid of shivers, it is nevertheless ticklish, byzantine escapism. Frankly, the bait-and-switch … Continue reading →

Scream Factory Presents – Nomads (1986)

Posted on September 14, 2015 by castordurden

This extremely risible, effete and addlepated film was basically an audition for John McTiernan. A demo reel if you will for his next gig which was the massively popularized Predator. Arnold Schwarzenegger screened this and envisioned him as the perfect … Continue reading →

Review: Show Me a Hero (Episodes 5 & 6)

Posted on September 12, 2015 by castordurden

When I watch something as uniformly superb as Show Me a Hero, it champion to the people around me. Yet it seems to me that, due to the lack of bombastic high-concept, the show is being unsung by most audiences … Continue reading →

Review: Show Me a Hero (Episodes 3 & 4)

Posted on September 11, 2015 by castordurden

The public’s reactions to art can be mighty extreme. The general consensus for True Detective Season 2 was that it was inferior, stupefying and overall, lacking in substance. Now we are graced with the arrival of Show Me a Hero … Continue reading →
