El Gigante Puts Both the Lucha and the Gore into LuchaGore

With the right balance of horror and heartbreak, mostly horror or course, LuchaGore Productions latest film El Gigante (based on Muerte con Carne by Shane McKenzie) shows that they are a force to be reckoned with in the world of indie horror.

Dead on Film Festival 2014

So once again The Rio Theatre's Dead on Film Festival, featuring short films where someone has to die, has come to pass. Well one of the people to die was me, in the short film Dangerous Waves! Unfortunately I wasn't able to get there in time to see it since it was the second film to be shown, but I saw it today and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

August Netflix Recommendations 2014

Here are my recommendations for Canadian Netflix this August (Bold = New titles/ones I've just watched):

-Evil Dead 2
One of my favourite fight sequences is in this horror classic. A great blend of comedy and fear.

-The Cabin in the Woods
A great twist on the typical horror formula with plenty of laughs thrown in (and a few extra for the true horror buff)

-Almost Human
Don't trust your friends if they show up out of no where after they seemed to have been abducted by aliens.

It's An Art Attack!

I recently started getting back into one of my favourite hobbies when I was younger, drawing. The reason I stopped doing it was stupid, I was no longer the best of all my friends at it.

Netflix Recommendations: July 2014

Here are my recommendations for Canadian Netflix this July (Bold = New titles/ones I've just watched):

-The Faculty
Elijah Wood fights an Alien invasion, as directed by Robert Rodriguez

-The Banshee Chapter
A serious film inspired by From Beyond with the gay vampire baptist minister from True Blood without the accent.

-V/H/S 2
Some of the segments in this anthology film legitimately freaked me out for a night or two.

-Zombieland
One of the better Zom Coms, with a small dose of Rom thrown in there.

Blockbuster Season: Winter Soldier, Spider Man 2, X-men & Godzilla

This year's Summer blockbuster season is chock full of films that I've been hankerin' to see. Now I haven't seen all of them yet (Guardians of the Galaxy doesn't even come out until August) but here are my thoughts on the ones that I have seen so far:

Oculus

It is not often that a horror film causes restless nights for me, but after seeing Oculus on Thursday, I'm still thinking about it.
