Movie Review: 30 Minutes or Less

Facebook? I don’t check that shit, I’m off the grid.

by Kevin Gaussoin, Editor-in-Chief

Amid scathing controversy claiming the film exploits a real world tragedy, 30 Minutes or Less attempts to make a comedy out of a plot that  might otherwise be best expected in a torture-porn like that found in the Saw movie franchise. Does it succeed?

(Spoilers after the cut!)

Mmmff iff nnngt Fnnngne!

Blu-ray Review: Stake Land

by Karl Madsen, Media Editor, Horror

Every once in a while you get a movie where the main antagonist isn’t the most dangerous. That’s the case with Stake Land, a vampire movie where the bloodsuckers are the obvious bad guys, but are by no means the most dangerous.

In Stake Land there has been an outbreak of vampirism, and humanity has been splintered into lone travelers and small communities. The communities operate on a barter system and rely on the travelers to bring in food, medicines, tools, and luxury items. And everyone waits for confirmation of the safe zone in the north, New Eden.

DVD Review: YellowBrickRoad

Follow the Yellow Brick Road, oh my.

by Karl Madsen, Media Editor, Horror

Urban legend and the chance to prove, disprove, or to simply solve the mystery, is the stuff that horror films are made of. Joining the ranks of Event Horizon, Blair Witch Project, The Cave, The Legend of Hell House, and any number of ‘find out what happened’ flicks is YellowBrickRoad.
