Tonight we delve deep into past of legendary film maker Guillermo del Toro. I first came across his work with Blade II in 2002 (Which I still maintain is way better than the first film), but it was actually a decade earlier that Guillermo made his feature film debut with the movie Cronos, a mostly …
For tonight’s movie we’re going for more of a psychological thriller than an outright horror (Though it is X rated). This is the 1967 Audrey Hepburn classic “Wait Until Dark”. This was Hepburn’s final movie of her main run of movie stardom, after which she decided to semi-retire and she wouldn’t return to the screen …
Tonight’s movie is technically as a “TV Special” instead of a movie, but as a stand alone story of 52 minutes length and some of the movies it pays homage to are only around one hour too I feel this counts. “Werewolf By Night” is technically part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, though the story …
Today I review the 2022 release “Barbarian” from Zach Cregger. It has been much hyped of late, so does it deserve the hype?

Lovecraft’s “The Case of Charles Dexter Ward”. Corman wanted to do something …
For tonight’s horror I’m going back to the golden age of Universal’s dominance of the Horror genre and visiting the very first collaboration between the two biggest legends of that era – Bella Lugosi and Boris Karloff. This is “The Black Cat” from 1934. Universal’s highest selling movie of that year, a movie that lay …
Tonight’s movie is Jesús Franco’s take on Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” from 1970. This is reputed to be the truest adaptation to the novel and a version of the story I’ve never seen before. It is also in the unique position of being Christopher Lee’s single non-comedic appearance as Dracula outside of the many Hammer films. …
Today’s movie is David Cronenberg’s 2022 Body Horror “Crime’s of the Future”. Is this an organ ripping yarn or lack guts?
