The Red Circle

Deep Red

DEEP RED was my first foray into the moist world of Dario Argento. His vision of what horror should look and sound like in the 70′s and 80′s is still unmatched in its intensity and beauty. For any of you not introduced to the man, Deep Red pretty much sums up why he was, at one time, untouchable

From the BOTTOM SHELF: WILD ZERO

WILD ZERO is, to elaborate on a friend’s summation, like watching Andrew W.K. cover a Dio album. You’ve got alien spaceships, forbidden love, the walking dead, and guys with glowing green eyes – all played with a Gibson Explorer pushed through an amplifier turned to eleven

Re-Animator

RE-ANIMATOR is more than just a great film. Its a barometer by which you judge your friends

REVIEW: Grace

I should really learn to stop being disappointed by horror critics. Just because a film has some genuinely creepy moments of blood and violence doesn’t make it a film worth watching. GRACE takes a very meticulously thought out premise and purpose and turns it into a mess of unsympathetic characters and illogical motivations

Kind of a Big Deal: The Walking Dead Buy One Get One

See the original ZOMBIELAND, take a little time to check out THE WALKING DEAD! A great series of graphic novels about how much humanity fails when they are not at the top of the food chain. Sold here at Convention Pricing!

Night of The Creeps

By Ryan Brlecic

This film literally almost ended up in the trash before a single frame was shot. Fred Dekker gave himself 7 days to finish the screen play and one simple rule to follow: He would not sell it unless he was the one to helm it. Since I am writing about a film and not an idea, you can draw a reliable conclusion as to how things panned out for Mr. Dekker

FAQ: Why so much Horror on TRC?

To help some folks out, no this is not a website dedicated to horror. It’s just the month of October and we figured our first monthly feature would be to talk about all things horrific

Shaun of The Dead

By Tom Nix

Ignoring the fact that George A. Romero – yes, THAT George A. Romero – has publicly called this his favorite zombie film of all time (aside from his, natch), SHAUN pretty much exists comfortably in a class by itself when it comes to flicks featuring the walking dead

The Omen

By Ryan Brlecic

Eventually you will hear from my cohort on the subjective reality of terror that the film The Exorcist possesses. Both films came out at a time more open to the existence of God (before he was killed in the 80′s) and conversely that of his opposite. Both dealt with aspects of evil made real through children (why we constantly highlight the untapped evil of children is discussion for another day), and the nature of possession

Prince of Darkness

By Tom Nix

This is the first time that The Master John Carpenter will show up in these mini appreciations. It will assuredly not be the last.
