THE LOVED ONES Review [SXSW 2010's Midnight Surprise]

Written and Directed by Sean Byrne, 2009
I’ve been running Horror’s Not Dead for a little over four years now.  If you’ve been reading the site for any decent length of time, you can probably trace how my tastes have cultivated over the years and how from time to time I’ll stumble upon an indie or [...]

6 Quick Questions About Quirk’s DAWN OF THE DREADFULS

1.  What is Dawn of the Dreadfuls?
It’s the prequel to Quirk Classics’ Jane Austen mash-up Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.  And it’s very, very funny.
2.  I probably need to read that book first to enjoy it, right?
Not at all.  I didn’t, and I could completely enjoy and follow Dawn of the Dreadfuls on its own.  Probably [...]

THE CRAZIES Review. [2010's First Must See Horror Movie.]

Directed by Breck Eisner, 2010
Written by Scott Kosar and Ray Wright
You’re forgiven for being apprehensive about a remake of THE CRAZIES, George Romero’s classic (as in age, not quality) bit of ’70s violence and paranoia.  I know I was.  After all, we live in a climate where studio (not talent) driven remakes arrive at regular [...]

SHUTTER ISLAND Review [Warning, Spoilery Talk Follows the First Paragraph]

Directed by Martin Scorsese, 2010
Written by Laeta Kalogridis
If you’re already planning on seeing SHUTTER ISLAND this weekend, don’t read beyond.  If you’re on the fence on seeing what it looks like when Martin Scorsese makes a horror movie, know that it is absolutely worth seeing, but do not read any further.  It’s impossible for me [...]

THE WOLFMAN Review.

Directed by Joe Johnston, 2010
Written by Andrew Kevin Walker and David Self
I’ve got just as many complaints as I have compliments for Joe Johnston’s THE WOLFMAN, but the crux of its failings is this; What’s the point?  Lawrence Talbot (Benecio Del Toro) returns home to his estranged and aloof father (Anthony Hopkins) to investigate the [...]

7 DAYS Review [Sundance Select On-Demand]

Directed by Daniel Grou, 2010
Written by Patrick Senécal
Maybe I’ve just spent too much time in the horror genre. Maybe I’ve become desensitized to violence and torture. Maybe I’m just incapable of ignoring the part of my brain that says “It’s all just a movie.” Whatever the case, it’s rare that I find a film difficult [...]

LEGION Review

Directed by Scott Stewart, 2010
Written by Peter Schink, Scott Stewart
Joining the ranks of Night of the Living Dead, Assault on Precinct 13, Demon Knight, From Dusk Till Dawn, Feast, Maximum Overdrive, and a host of other “siege” horror films, comes Legion, an unrepentantly dopey fantasy-action-horror hybrid built upon the idea that God hates us all. [...]

THE BOOK OF ELI Review. [Bloody Good Post-Apocalyptic]

Directed by Albert Hughes and Allen Hughes, 2010
Written by Gary Whitta
I’m an easy sell on a lot of things and I have a lot of soft spots.  Horror movies shot entirely in daylight…movies set in a single location…movies starring Lance Henriksen…Syfy Original Movies… all of these start off with a halo in my book.  That [...]
