The Double Born (2008)
Studio: Celebrity Video Distribution
Release Date: January 26, 2010
Directed By: Tony Randel
Cast: Sammi Davis, Jon Lindstrom, Jenny Dare Paulin, Jake Bern & Alex Weed
Review By: Annie Riordan
I have not read The Dualitists, Or, The Death Doom of the Double Born, the short story by Bram Stoker. It’s available in its entirety for free reading online, but trying to read vast amounts of text on my computer monitor gives me fierce headaches, so I’m not going to attempt it prior to reviewing The Double Born, a low budget effort …

Colour from the Dark (2008)
Studio: Vanguard Cinema
Release Date: February 23, 2010
Directed By: Ivan Zuccon
Cast: Debbie Rochon, Michael Segal, Marysia Kay, Eleanor James & Gerry Shanahan
Review By: Annie Riordan
Oh look! The makers of this Lovecraft inspired flick spelled “color” with a U! Just like Lovecraft did when he wrote the short story “The Colour Out Of Space” in March of 1927. Lovecraft preferred using the antiquated forms of the English language, tossing about such words as “erudite” and “eldritch” which were archaic even in his own time. Spelling the word “colour” …

My Little Eye (2004)
Studio: StudioCanal
Directed By: Marc Evans
Cast: Stephen O’Reilly, Laura Regan, Jennifer Sky, Bradley Cooper
Review By: Kayley Viteo
If I could give a one-word review of a movie, this one would be stamped with my BORING stamp of absolute disapproval. And therein lies the problem with Netflix Instant. Granted, I love it, but I end up seeing movies I normally wouldn’t seek out while I’m waiting for the next DVD to arrive. I have seen a few, some would say too many, quirky documentaries (my other love) because of it, …

Zombeak
Distributor: MVM
Directed by: Sam Drog
Starring: Melissa K Gilbert, Jason Von Stein, Daryl Wilcher, Tracy Yarkoni, Nathan Standrige
Review by: Ben Bussey
It seems like an ordinary enough night down at Cooters, a downmarket restaurant with an uncanny resembelance to a certain other restaurant chain (in case you can’t guess the connection, all the waiting staff are bouyant young women in tiny white vests and butt-hugging shorts). The customers are either complaining or sexually harassing the staff; the manager is either stressing out, or sexually harrassing the staff; and the staff are either …

Not Forgotten (2009)
Distributed by Anchor Bay Entertainment
Directed by Dror Soref
Starring Simon Baker, Paz Vega, Chloe Moretz, Claire Forlani
Review by Ben Bussey
Jack Bishop (Baker) seems to have it all; a beautiful young wife (Vega), a wonderful young daughter (Moretz), and a very comfortable life in a small Texas town just north of the Mexican border. But it all goes up in smoke when his daughter suddenly disappears without a trace. While he and his wife struggle to keep it together, the Sheriff’s department and FBI puzzle over what happened. But as …

Slaughtered (2006)
Directed by: Kate Glover
Cast: Chloe Boreham, Christopher Tomkinson, Steven O’Donnell, Cassandra Swaby
Review by: Ben Bussey
It’s a typical enough night at a remote Australian pub. The regulars congregate to drown their sorrows, whilst the pretty young women and men working behind the bar struggle to keep their hands off one another. But, wouldn’t you know it, something is amiss. People keep disappearing suddenly, and subsequently showing up dead not long thereafter. Someone has clearly had enough of this binge drinking culture and has decided to do their bit to clean …

Dead Snow
Studio: IFC
DVD Release Date: February 23, 2010
Directed By: Tommy Wirkola
Review By: Marc Patterson
I don’t believe I’ve ever reviewed a film twice. That’s not to say that my opinions don’t change on certain films over a period of time. Indeed they do. When Dead Snow hit DVD I, like so many other horror loving fans, rushed out to snag this one up. The only chance any of us had to see the film prior was through the IFC On Demand feature, provided through choice cable TV …

Cabin Fever 2 (2010)
Studio: Lionsgate Home Video
DVD Release Date: February 16, 2010
Directed by: Ti West
Cast: Noah Segan, Alexi Wasser, Giuseppe Andrews, Marc Senter, Rusty Kelley
Review by: Marc Patterson
It’s the film Ti West disowned. It’s the film series that put Eli Roth on the horror map, but yet strangely enough a series he didn’t return to. It’s none other than Cabin Fever. It’s both loved and hated by horror fans, and now we have this… a sequel to contend with. Cabin Fever 2 starts right where the …

The Crazies (2010)
Release Date: February 26, 2010
Directed by: Breck Eisner
Cast: Timothy Olyphant, Radha Mitchell, Joe Anderson, Danielle Panabaker
Review by: Dustin Hall
I had the pleasure this evening of attending the advance screening of The Crazies, a remake of the Romero original, at the Palms Casino in Vegas.
There must be something about Romero remakes and Johnny Cash. Dawn of the Dead opens with When the Man Comes Around, and now The Crazies opens with We’ll Meet Again. I almost have to wonder if Director Breck Eisner (Sahara) didn’t want to find a …

Dead Hooker In A Trunk (2009)
Directed by: Jen Soska & Sylvia Soska
Cast: Jen Soska, Sylvia Soska, Ricki Gagne, C J Wallis
Review by: Ben Bussey
It sounds straight away like the set-up to a joke, so I might as well do the synopsis as such…
So there’s these twin sisters. One of them’s a badass, and one of them’s a geek. The badass has a BFF who’s a junkie, whilst the geek is chummy with a goody-two shoes who pounds the bible and volunteers at a church youth group. Whilst neither duo wants …
