This article was originally published on 12ftdwende.com 2 April 2010. So I had a vague awareness of the Nightmare on Elm Street series as a small child. I would walk with great trepidation through the horror isle of the video store knowing that here were things not for young’ns like myself. I knew that there … Continue reading →

I love intelligent horror movies and wish there were more of them. But you know what? I love the dumb ones too. Maybe more. I have no intellectual defense of it, I just like it. I don’t like them “ironically.” I don’t even know what that means really. I am simply entertained. And for big … Continue reading →

Hatchet II (2010) – Usually the phrase “more of the same” is a bad thing… usually. Not always. Not this time. The first Hatchet was an awesome throwback to 1980s-style slasher movies. The gore is all old-school practical effects and none of that cartoony CGI shit. The lead actress of the original film, Tamara Feldman, … Continue reading →

Hatchet (2006) — The tagline on the cover of this movie is “Old School American Horror.” For better or worse that’s what you get. A bunch of people go on a “haunted swamp” tour in Louisiana and surprise surprise there is a maniac (or possible ghost) stalking and killing them one by one. Tonally, this … Continue reading →

Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989) — So Jason doesn’t actually “take” Manhattan until just over an hour into the movie. Once there does he wreaks havoc on terrified New Yorkers? For the most part, no. Instead of his usual “kill anyone, kill everyone” philosophy he ignores the hundreds of New Yorkers … Continue reading →

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984) — It is worth noting that subsequent to this “final” chapter they made EIGHT MORE MOVIES! This movie is sort of a mixed bag, Friday the 13th-wise. As far as before-they-were-“famous” roles go, add points for Crispin Glover, detract points for Corey Feldman. Feldman is irritating as all … Continue reading →

Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) — So there are many things about this movie that make absolutely no fucking sense. For starters [spoiler alert] in the first film the killer was the seemingly kind Mrs. Voorhees who was avenging the death of her “special needs” son Jason due to camp counselor negligence. In the … Continue reading →

Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006) — This film is set in the same world where Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, and Freddy Krueger have carried on their reigns of terror. Leslie Vernon is the man who wants to follow in their footsteps. The structurally patters itself somewhat on the Belgian film Man … Continue reading →
