“Diary of the Dead” 15 Years Later – Romero’s Misunderstood Misfire

Known as the godfather of the zombies, there is no denying the late George A. Romero’s massive impact on the subgenre.  A lot of people aren’t even aware of the fact that many tropes associated with zombie films began with his films like Night of the Living Dead, and didn’t exist in horror previously.  Thus, Romero spent his career crafting an entire “of the Dead” … Continue reading “Diary of the Dead” 15 Years Later – Romero’s Misunderstood Misfire

“Videodrome” 40 Years Later – Why It’s Even More Relevant Now

Following up David Cronenberg’s cult success with films like Scanners and The Brood, the Canadian master of body horror released Videodrome in 1983.  Upon release critics loved it, admiring the bold statements and visceral nature of the film, but general audiences weren’t sure what to make of it, and it’s remained a cult classic ever since.

“The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia” – 10 Years Later

One of the first things that stands out about 2013’s The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia, is that the title contains two states that are nowhere near each other.  As a result of this confusion, as well as it getting only a limited release in the US (most people thought it was just direct to video), Ghosts of Georgia (which is what the … Continue reading “The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia” – 10 Years Later
