Ricou Browning: Beyond the Creature Comforts
Ricou Browning: Beyond the Creature Comforts. By Brian Kirst
When it is suggested to Ricou Browning’s daughter that she must have grown up with perennial questions about her father, “The Creature from the Black Lagoon”, she insists that was not the case. Her friends were much more interested in Flipper, the 1960’s television show about the heroic dolphin that Browning produced, directed and wrote for.
This situation is a good indication of…
The Signal
I just watched The Signal
The premise is insanely simple: electronic devices start emitting strange and mysterious signals that brainwash about half the population and drive them to start killing the other half.
This horror movie has a mean streak a mile wide and also some great dark humor, my taut breathlessness was broken by outbursts of laughter, and my chuckles were interrupted by startled gasps. The violence is top-notch, at times cleverly executed off-screen and at other times thrown right in your face with such amazing craft that you will wonder how they ever pulled it off so beautifully. The story is airtight and character-driven, which gives the actors a chance to show that they have the chops to be completely believable and get you invested in their roles. You’ll find yourself really liking them and actually caring about what happens to them. There are no flat or cliche characters to be found here, which is pretty refreshing given a lot of the slop being dumped on horror fans these days.
Philosophy Of A Knife

REVIEW: Prey for the Beast
Review by AngryPrincess
BEWARE!!
Prey is a total indie flick with tons of inexperienced actors but it kinda was fun to watch. It’s totally one of those cheesy laugh hysterically at the monster movies. A group of guys decide to take their just jilted buddy on a camping trip to try and relax him and get his mind off of how much his life sucks at the moment, little do they know it is about to get a lot worse.
This is a movie you’d see on the channel USA program Up all night. It just won’t hold anyone’s interest you have to go in knowing it is goofy and not to be taken seriously. On the other side of the trail there is a bunch of teen girls who were there on there own little sort of vacation. After they all meet they all try and figure out what the hell they are going to do to try and make it out of there alive.
Will this beast hunt them all down and make them his dinner or will someone actually make it out alive? Owen the preppy looking man can help but ogle the girls and hope that maybe somehow whether it be luck or just stupidity that he will get in someone’s pants. After it’s all said and done will there be anyone left standing out there in those deep tick infested woods?

REVIEW: The Moretti House
Review by AngryPrincess
The Moretti house has been on the market ever since the 1929 when Nicholas Moretti went crazy murdering his wife Anastasia and young son Marco. After realizing what he did, a grieving Nicholas hung himself. No one was willed the house so it has been listed for all those years at the astounding low amount of $20,000. The price made buying the house a total steal…now if only…
