“You don’t believe in the bogeyman? You should” says Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) ominously. And if I didn’t before this trailer, I sure as hell do now. I LITERALLY jumped up from my seat at the babysitter-closet scene in this trailer, and as I’m an editor you can be sure I will always use… Halloween Trailer: 40 Years On – Do You Still Believe In The Bogeyman?

Is Horror Reanimating? Is IT It? Q&A With Shudder’s Colin Geddes
“I like to break the genre down into films that are terror-based (rooted in reality, such as serial killers, slashers, crime) in which the outcome is predictable in the sense that it’s bound by the rules of physics; and horror, which is uncanny or supernatural, and not rooted in any firm rules of our world.”… Is Horror Reanimating?

The central metaphor of the teen shedding… Leatherface Read More

But here Franklin (Paul A Partain) held my attention more, ironically because his vulnerabilities force him to mimic the ways that women… Texas Chain Saw Massacre Read More
Dogged 3 stars
Read my interview with Dogged director Richard Rowntree here. At the end of Dogged, its definition – “having or showing tenacity and grim persistence” – pops up, by which time it’s finally clear who the title is referring to. Though as the director of this very low budget full-length feature, Dogged is certainly a word that also applies to Richard… Dogged Read More
