Ranking Every “Resident Evil” Movie (Including “Welcome to Raccoon City”)

Video game adaptations don’t exactly have a reputation for being well received, by either critics or fans.  That said, the Resident Evil franchise has certainly loomed in popularity, spawning a movie franchise that started out somewhat like the game, but branching off into its own mythos.  So with the series getting a much more game-accurate reboot, we thought it would be fun to look back … Continue reading Ranking Every “Resident Evil” Movie (Including “Welcome to Raccoon City”)

“Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City” Review

Debuting in 2002, the original Resident Evil movie feels very much like a product of its time.  It (along with its sequels) oozed with over the top stylized horror action that took itself very seriously and was convinced that it was incredibly cool while doing it.  Like The Matrix, but with zombies, the series dragged on long past its welcome, finally ending with Resident Evil: … Continue reading “Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City” Review

Chucky: “Twice the Grieving, Double the Loss” Review

As Chucky preps for next week’s season finale, the stakes have never been higher.  The series began by introducing new characters and easing us back into this world of possessed killer dolls, but the last two episodes have brought back a lot of characters and elements from before, all culminating together in what will hopefully prove to be a kickass finale.  This penultimate episode did … Continue reading Chucky: “Twice the Grieving, Double the Loss” Review

Dexter Morgan vs. Joe Goldberg: Who’s the More Fascinating Sociopath?

Both Dexter Morgan and Joe Goldberg could be described as anti-heroes that people root for to a degree that’s borderline unhealthy.  Potential for toxic relationships aside, these two characters are similar in more ways than you’d expect. They both had tragic pasts, and grow up to lead double lives, always concealing their true selves.  They both had a relationship with someone who despite not knowing … Continue reading Dexter Morgan vs. Joe Goldberg: Who’s the More Fascinating Sociopath?

Why Steven Spielberg’s “Duel” Still Holds Up 50 Years Later

When people look back on Steven Spielberg’s prolific and acclaimed career, most will cite Jaws as his first “official” film.  And while that’s the movie that birthed the Hollywood blockbuster and made him a household name, it was technically not the first feature length film he ever made. Four years prior, he directed a TV Movie that was so well received, it wound up getting … Continue reading Why Steven Spielberg’s “Duel” Still Holds Up 50 Years Later

Top 10 Dexter Villains

In a golden age of TV antiheroes like Tony Soprano and Walter White, Showtime’s Dexter got (mostly) sane audiences to quite literally sympathize and root for a serial killer.  Despite the series’ abysmal finale, the show itself was always creative and filled with interesting characters. So in honor of the forthcoming spinoff (which will hopefully right the wrongs of the previous finale), we thought it … Continue reading Top 10 Dexter Villains

“Dead & Beautiful” – Movie Review

Vampires have always been the most glamorized of horror movie monsters.  Going back to the seductive nature of Bela Lugosi’s Dracula, to the teen heartthrobs in films like The Lost Boys, Twilight, as well as Vampire Diaries TV show, vampires have an elegance and desirable quality to them. They’re the only “monster” that can pull off being perceived as sexy and cool, and Shudder’s latest … Continue reading “Dead & Beautiful” – Movie Review
