Bigfoot Entertainment Production Company
When making a slasher, horror film, it can be difficult to think of an original weapon for the killer.
But first-time director Jack Messit and his producers conceptualized a weapon nobody has ever thought of: A large combination of a knife and a corkscrew.
It’s a weapon that when stabbed into a victim’s gut, it tears out chunks of their flesh. The viewers can see the blood flow from the wound as…

Or would you throw the rock out in fear? It all boils down to either being superstitious or not. Return Of The Curse tells the story of a curse that is hitting all of the people…
REVIEW: Nympha
Review by AngryPrincess
Tiffany Shepis is steadily climbing to the top of the horror world and has even been dubbed the reigning princess of scream. Nympha has all the right ingredients to make it in the horror realm. As Amy Lynn Best says “tits and ass” sell movies- but seriously the jest of this film was pretty interesting even though a little confusing. Sarah (Shepis) leaves America and flees to Italy…

Vampyr on DVD
Film horror has been riding high in recent years. We’re just wound up a couple of seasons of gore-horrors based on the theme of torture. Before that were the much different “J-Horror” pictures, modern ghost stories from Japan that generated much of their sense of dread from dreamlike, menacing imagery. And a few years before that we withstood a wave of self-aware slasher films featuring teenagers that try to survive bloody murder by applying lessons learned from earlier horror movies like Halloween.
Until 1931 with Universal’s Frankenstein and Dracula, there really was no established horror genre. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Nosferatu, from the 1920s, were (and still are) highly original and artistic silent films that were quickly recognized as classics.
Just as impressive, but until now much more obscure, is Carl Theodor Dreyer’s 1932 Vampyr. An early German talkie basically stylized as a silent, Dreyer’s film creates a surreal mental space reminiscent of Jean Cocteau.
[REC] Banned in NZ
A promotion for the horror film [REC] has been derailed by the Chief Investigator for the New Zealand Food Safety Authority.
The promotion centred around the ‘Extreme Bloody Mary’, a beverage which contained drops of real human blood.
Organisers were requested to cease with the promotion under Section 9 of the Food Act 1981 as it is prohibited to serve ‘food’ that is unsound, unfit or offensive for human consumption.
REVIEW: In Humble Praise of I Know Who Killed Me
In Humble Praise of I Know Who Killed Me By Brian Kirst
When Adam Rockoff, author of Going to Pieces: The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Film, proclaimed his support and appreciation for I Know who Killed Me at the Fangoria convention in January 2008 in IL, you could almost feel the confusion and regret in the room.
