Review: Green Room
Green Room is one of those rare horrors that does one thing, but does it very well. It is an Eli Roth film, only good. A struggling punk rock band need some gigs and fast. Unfortunately they are directed to a concert at a place ran by Neo-Nazis, and quickly find themselves in a hostage…
Review: Slither

Dead or alive, you’re coming with me. I never really watched RoboCop when I was younger, I was more on the Terminator side of things back then, but I had the big action figure, it was awesome. I even had the first film’s poster on my wall. Now there is a remake coming out… sadly….
Review: Repo Men
So I’ve spent months tracking down this film, this gory near-future thriller, yet Repo Men doesn’t quite do as much as it could have. Jude Law and Forest Whitaker are two ex-soldier buddies working for The Union as “Repo Men”. The Union is a corrupt government repossession organization, but instead of just housing repossession and…
