Up until now I had thought that the Complete Collection of Friday the 13th held the record for most blood, gore and sick ways to die, that is until I saw Piranha 3D. Some may challenge me on this point, but I know they will lose. If you like your films with a lot of dismemberment, flesh tearing, human entrails dangling, decapitations and more, then this sicko is right up your ally.
This quality television series features some of the bloodthirsty creatures that computers can generate. I am totally blown away by Tony and Ridley’s The Hunger a fine production that’s heads above most horror films. It’s Twilight for adults. Fine acting, direction and cinematography prove that it doesn’t have to be on a movie theater screen to be a big event.

Overview: Celebrated director Sam Raimi (Spiderman, The Evil Dead) returns to the horror genre with a vengeance with the critically acclaimed Drag Me to Hell, starring Alison Lohman (Beowulf, Matchstick Men), Justin Long (Live Free or Die Hard), Lorna Raver (“Eli Stoneâ€), David Paymer (Ocean’s Thirteen), Adriana Barraza (Babel) and Dileep Rao (“Brothers and Sistersâ€). A nerve-rattling expedition guaranteed to elicit the most unimaginable fright, Drag Me to Hell is the spine-tingling tale of a young woman’s desperate quest to break an evil curse and save her soul from eternal damnation.
I have always been a big fan of the Final Destination movies and now seeing the latest release in 3D I’m even more impressed. In 3D everything in The Final Destination is tripled; the horror, suspense, gore, terror and panic. Whether you are a shock freak or just a lover of horror fiction this film should knock your socks off.
I figured that when it hit DVD The Last House on the Left would lose some of its punch. I admit I am wrong as the film still exudes chilling suspense and horror even on the small screen. Producer Wes Craven shows his muscles as the master of shock even with a remake of one of his earlier hits. In my book, he’s still the master of terror cinema.
The film Orphan is fun to watch, but not convincing enough making it a run-of-the mill horror flick. The evil storyline is interesting and somewhat surprising with makes it fun to watch. The twists and turns come late in the film so one needs to pay attention so you can say, Oh I new that was going to happen.
