Salvage Review

Published on: 5th July, 2010

Lawrence Gough’s bloody directorial debut, Salvage, is a startling horror thriller that quickens the heartbeat as much as it affects the mind. As an allegory for terrorism, his film focuses on a few panic-stricken prey rendered helpless in protecting themselves and their families, even at home.

A mysterious, gaping shipping container on a nearby beach thrusts a quiet neighborhood into a murder zone and a military state. Trigger-happy special forces contain frightened citizens in barricaded houses as the area descends into chaos.

The Crazies Review

Published on: 10th March, 2010

Breck Eisner’s The Crazies is a tense, fun little horror thriller that is heavy on the scares and light on the cultural subtext.  Executive produced by horror legend and director of the 1973 original, George A. Romero, the remake steers clear of any obvious agenda about “zombiefied” Red State denizens and focuses its attention solely [...]

Martin Campbell Flies from ‘The Birds’ Remake

The Final Destination Review

Published on: 30th August, 2009

Much like the title, The Final Destination is more of the same from a tired series of gore and gimmicks.  If you’ve seen any of the three Final Destination movies, you’re already aware of the franchise’s formula.  If you haven’t seen them, then there’s no reason to start now.
The fourth installment employs the once clever [...]

Grace Review

Published on: 28th August, 2009

Grace, the first feature from writer/director Paul Solet, mines a provocative horror concept for a few chilling shots, but crawls slowly and without purpose.
Madeline and Michael Matheson (Jordan Ladd and Stephen Park) are an ordinary married couple.  They’re expecting a child very soon and are genuinely happy to start a family, but prenatal complications have [...]
