Film Review: Family Reunion Gets Bloody in ‘You’re Next’
Submitted by BrianTT on August 22, 2013 - 3:12pmCHICAGO – “You’re Next” is a brutal, blunt, bloody instrument of a horror film. It works as well as it does because of an engaging performance from a future star at its center and a writer/director team willing to get in, get gory, and get out.
Blu-ray Review: Remastered Edition of Gore Masterpiece ‘Re-Animator’
Submitted by BrianTT on September 14, 2012 - 2:17pmCHICAGO – Stuart Gordon’s “Re-Animator” is a gore masterpiece, one of the best horror movies of its type ever made. It is pure lunacy, the kind of movie that will be just as shocking to audiences decades from now as it was when audiences first saw a severed head sexually molest a captive woman. “Re-Animator” brilliantly reimagines the “Frankenstein” myth of bringing what has passed back to life in all its gruesome potential. And the new Blu-ray features a well-mastered HD transfer along with some great special features.
