I was only able …

Ladies and Gents, You can’t even begin to know how stoked I am to report this news. Ever since it became a current news item regarding the remakes of Hellraiser in 3-D and An American Werewolf in London I’ve been genuinely conflicted and bummed. I HATE, and I mean HATE with all capital letters having to report on big studio remakes of films that should never be remade, especially when they are going to simply be subpar sequels that are in no way memorable, and serve …

Sam Raimi’s return to horror releases on DVD and Blu-ray today, starring Alison Lohman and Justin Long. The story follows Christine Brown (Lohman), a loan officer who is charged with evicting a little old woman from her home; unfortunately, the little old woman is really a gypsy and curses Christine to a life of living hell. While Drag Me to Hell didn’t do too well at the box office (a victim of poor marketing and lazy theater-goers – we’re looking at you), it received high praise. Raimi’s long-awaited …
