Final Destination 5(2011) – In know all the stuff about “sequels suck” and blah blah blah but the slasher genre isn’t exactly one that was overly sophisticated to begin with. The value in the sequels (and why slasher flicks are that rare genre where many sequels wind up being more entertaining than the original) is in … Continue reading →

This article was originally published on 12ft.dwende.com on 12 August 2011. Sometimes you don’t need a guy in a hockey mask or the ghost of a murderer to haunt your dreams.

Masters of Horror – John Carpenter‘s Cigarette Burns In 2005 I thought Showtime’s series Masters of Horror was about the coolest idea ever. Allowing icons of the horror film world to create hour-long movies every week free from network interference (though Showtime did end up declining to air Takashi Miike’s Imprint) was something I was … Continue reading →
