Where The House of the Devil gets it right, it gets it really right. From the opening credits to the music to the general style of it, if you didn't know any better, you could easily be fooled into thinking this was a film from the late 70s or early 80s as opposed to…

Pulpmaster extraordinaire Ron Fortier has written a great review of The Myth Hunter! Go check it out! Here's a bit about Ron had to say about it: "From the opening action sequence to the last climatic battle with a cruel and vicious assassin, 'The Myth Hunter' is a super charged thriller…
X-Men: First Class Review
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t dreading this film. Ever since news of it first broke, it seemed 20th Century Fox just didn’t really put the proper effort into planning this. Depending on who in the production you talk to, First Class is either a prequel or a…

Audition by Ryu Murakami
My first introduction to Ryu Murakami came not with his books, but when I saw the film adaptation of Audition. That movie was a massive turning point for me in a lot of ways—it was my introduction to director Takashi Miike and it sparked my interest in both horror movies…
The Rook, Volume 1 by Barry Reese

Dracula Lives!
I'm going to admit something here and now, something which I'm sure my fellow horror fans will probably want to flay me alive for even thinking, let alone giving voice to: I'm not a fan of Bram Stoker's Dracula. I'm not sure what it is, but something about the book…
The Sea Witch
I first discovered Joel Jenkins when I read Dire Planet. This is the first book of Joel's I've read that took place in the real world, so to speak, so it was interesting to see how Joel's style translates in a non-fantasy setting. Needless to say, I was not disappointed.…
