by Ben Bussey We might not know the release date. We might not know how the efforts of new director John Gulager and writers Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton (the team behind the Feast trilogy) will compare to those of Alexandre Aja, Peter Goldfinger and Josh Stolberg. But there’s one thing we’ve known all along: [...]

by Ben Bussey There’s been a bit of talk around these parts lately about how our priorities are changing. Quality over quantity is the name of the game; we’re not just going to cover any old trash just for the sake of it. If something gets posted on here, it’s because we’re genuinely interested in [...]

by Ben Bussey As I type this, looking up at a nearby bookshelf I see the eight Brian Keene novels I own. These are but a small percentage of the man’s books that have seen print in recent years. It’s been a while since I’ve picked up a new one of his, but I gather he’s more-or-less shook [...]

by Marc Patterson Not long ago I talked about my need for film diversification around here. Nunchucks is just the kind of film I had in mind. It’s refreshing to see martial arts films emerge that showcases excellence in action and choreography, while infusing real depth of storytelling, rather than dazzling CGI, wire effects, and [...]

by Keri O’Shea When a burgeoning DVD market began to become accessible to me, a little more than a decade ago, I was delighted to be able to investigate the glorious technicolour worlds of Eurohorror and Eurosleaze – entire new genres, which I had only encountered previously as lurid, nudity-laden stills in books and cult [...]

by Ben Bussey Longtime BAH readers are no doubt familiar with The Dead, the low-budget Burkina Faso-shot zombie epic from writer/director siblings Jon and Howard J Ford. Marc, Keri and myself have all sung its praises, and Marc got one of the first interviews with the Ford Brothers way back in August 2010. You might find yourself [...]

by Ben Bussey And so it continues. Last time we checked in on the Evil Dead Regurgitation, Lily Collins was set to take the role of Mia, who would seem to be the lead in this new, Ash-less version of events as outlined by Fede Alvarez, Royo Sayagues and Diablo Cody. Presumably not long thereafter her old [...]

by Ben Bussey Just had word from Britain’s own Horror Channel of a new season of British horror old and new. An interesting selection: one I really like, one I’m less keen on, two I haven’t seen. I’ll leave you to speculate which is which. The press release is as follows: Following the success of last year’s [...]

by Marc Patterson I’m not even sure what the appropriate response might be to a Tim Burton produced film called Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. All I can go with is my true feelings, and my gut instincts, which tell me this is not going to be a good film. How could it be? And further, [...]

by Marc Patterson I’m really stoked about the release of the Ford Brother’s African zombie film The Dead onto DVD and Blu-ray this February 14th. I’ve literally been waiting three years for this film to hit the US. If you think I’m kidding (and even I questioned it) look back to this news bit in [...]

by Marc Patterson “You’ve got a bad attitude, buster”. Those were words spoken to me with disgust by my first grade recess teacher after I got in a fight with the schoolyard bully. Bullies? Fuck them. No one was going to push me around. I might end up eating dirt, but not without kicking as [...]

by Marc Patterson My traveling lifestyle has prevented me from being as active on here as I’ve liked lately, but nothing warms my bloody innards more than coming home to news that one of my favorite films from 2011 has just cut a distro deal. That’s right dirtbags, Dear God No!, that insanely fun bit [...]

by Keri O’Shea If nothing else, keeping an eye on the current obsessions and predilections of the British Board of Film Classifications gives us film fans an interesting perspective on our own times. For good or ill, they can be seen to distil certain attitudes; what they heavily censor in one decade, they’ll seem to [...]

by Marc Patterson If you’ve been following this website for any length of time you know I love me some backwoods horror. Sure, you can toss me some Japanese splatter, or Roger Corman schlock any day, but for me nothing is as exhilarating as a well made man vs. nature flick. Lately, Liam Neeson has [...]
