Henry: Portrait of Serial Killer (1986) Movie Review

Henry: Portrait of Serial Killer
Director: John McNaughton
Writers: Richard Fire, John McNaughton
Stars: Michael Rooker, Tom Towles and Tracy Arnold 
Release date: 1986 
Awards: 9 wins, 7 nominations
Reviewer: Jamie Van Tuyl
 
Although the title of this movie would lead one to believe it is going to be a pretty straight forward slasher film, this assumption couldn’t be much further from the truth! In fact, much of the content of this movie was so controversial that, although it was released in 1986, it wasn’t shown on the big screen until 2000 due its graphic nature causing …

Dreamaniac (1986) Movie Review

Dreamaniac
Directed by David DeCoteau (The Killer Eye)
Reviewer: Horrorphilia Jason

Lowdown: a cookie cutter 80′s slasher that even I can’t recommend.
It’s no secret that I’m a slasher fan and in fact 80′s slashers are usually my favorites. When Dreamaniac was announced to be released by Full Moon’s Grindhouse collection, I was highly anticipating it. I wasn’t expecting anything amazing but I was hoping for a solid addition to the slasher pantheon. Let’s just say I was disappointed.
Adam, a heavy metal loving occultist conjures up a succubus from hell. His girlfriend and her …

FATAL PICTURES’ presents “FAMILIAR” (2011)

FATAL PICTURES’ presents “FAMILIAR” (2011)
ROUGH PLOT OUTLINE:
The first half of the film explores the inner thoughts of a man who
for reasons known and unknown despises his family. We hear his
inner thoughts as they drive him to carry out despicable and selfish
deeds. This continues until the voice/inner thoughts go too far and
suggests deeds beyond the scope of the mans unexplainably
separate and resistant moral consciousness. He becomes aware that
this “voice” or “inner thought” isn’t him and he defies it. By
defying the voice he dislodges it and soon a physical manifestation
of that voice …

Flush Short Film Review

Flush
Directed by Jef Grenier
Reviewer: Horrorphilia Jason
Another cool short from one of my favorite indie horror filmmakers, Jef Grenier. This is one of his most basic stories, but nonetheless it still manages to work. This makes the 5th project of his I’ve seen that I really enjoyed. If you like heavy metal, horror fanboyism, and some cute chicks in your horror movies, then look no further than A.Normale Productions.

The story follows this horror fanboy that sees an ad in a Monster magazine that claims to sell you a tentacled monster that …

Lowdown: Typical modern day Full Moon, watchable but very forgettable.
A few weeks ago on Facebook I posed a question in our ever growing Horrorphilia Network of Podcasts group. Click here to join. Can T & A make a bad movie good? I think I now know the answer. I can’t compare it to the original cuz I’ve never seen it, hell I didn’t even know there was one until doing …

Bonbons Rouges aka Red Candy (2009) Movie Review

Bonbons Rouges
Directed by Jef Grenier
Runtime: 45 minutes
Reviewer: Horrorphilia Jason 
 
The Lowdown: Another solid flick from Jef Grenier’s wild world of French Canadian indie horror.
A few months back I was introduced to a trio of shorts, Sandman and Killer Cup 1 and 2, and I was pleasantly surprised and how different and fun they were. Reviews click here. Director Jef Grenier has created his own universe where heavy metal music reigns and a majority of the characters are major horror fans. You can tell in all his movies that he’s basically a …

“C is for Cry…this short made me cry.” Char Hardin
Today was the day for CRESTFALLEN and whatever my expectations for the film were, they were shattered with the musical score and the power of Deneen Melody…her eyes convey the emotions that set the tone for this film.

Helldriver (2010) Movie Review

Helldriver
Directed by Yoshihiro Nishimura
Reviewer: Brandon Ennals
 
So, I just finished watching Helldriver and I’m not even sure what I could write to give this movie justice. The overall ridiculousness and insanity cannot easily be put into words that would begin to describe some of the characters, set pieces, and props used in this film, but let’s give it a shot anyway since you are going to want to see this film.
The plot is very simple and is in no way essential to the enjoyment of this film. The film follows a …

Reviewer: Horrorphilia Jason
Street Date: 12/13/2011

The Lowdown: Despite the whacky title, it may be even weirder and cooler than you would ever expect.
This is the part where most reviewer’s would tell you how they’ve been scared of clowns their whole life. I’ve got a confession. I’m very neutral in my own feelings for them. I never grew up with scary clown movies and I don’t think I ever attended any birthday party with any old drunken man dressed up as …

Legend of the Sandsquatch
Director: Lola Wallace
Starring: Hillary Swartz

“What the hell is that?”
Second movie of the night is placed in computer for my consumption. The moment the creature comes on the screen, I hit stop and hit eject. On the disc it reads LEGEND OF the SANDSQUATCH. SAND…ha-ha. At first, I thought it was a typo and after seeing the creature, I just laughed and then quickly followed it with a groan, “Oh No!”
Well, that second glance confirmed the creature would not be a hairy Bigfoot as I thought, …
