Officer Downe, directed by Shawn Crahan (Clown AKA 6 from the band Slipknot) and based on the comic by Joe Casey & Chris Burnham, is a crazy, bloody, weird oddball of a movie, and I loved every low budget minute of it. It has an in-your-face sensibility, with a goofy sense of humor and damn [...]

Jason Kupfer's short film Invaders is a spot-on satire of a home invasion movie that in its short 6 minutes manages to be just as, if not more entertaining than full-length movies with a thousand times the budget. Jordan Woods-Robinson and Ricky Wayne are the titular characters, parked in front of a suburban home, arguing about [...]

Ultimately, however, it becomes a muddled mess, with characters you don't really care about getting slaughtered for reasons that aren't very clear. And that's a shame, because it's a very good-looking movie, with some [...]

Eli Roth has made a name for himself directing gore-drenched, over-the-top horror flicks like Cabin Fever and Hostel I and II. His newest, The Green Inferno, follows a similar plot line to his other movies: young, good-looking people go on a trip, encounter some very unfortunate circumstances, and then die in bloody and horrific ways. [...]
