There’s a subgenre called Survivalist that often crosses paths with Horror. The best examples are Alive (in which a group of South American soccer players crash in the Andes and are eventually reduced to cannibalism) and 127 Hours (where a trapped hiker is pushed to unthinkable extremes to beat death). Ravenous can [...]
Insight Editions, one of the leading publishers of quality illustrated books for entertainment and pop culture, have recently been releasing shooting scripts for movies such as Inception, Red Riding Hood, and Cowboys and Aliens. I had the chance to get my hands on a few of these books and I am more [...]

Well, 2011 was a crappy year for Horror films (Check out my 10 worst horror films of 2011). I hate to say this, but I was actually hard pressed to think of 10 titles for this list. A couple of these films (I [...]

Below are the 10 titles that I found the most underwhelming. This “Worst of” [...]
The Darkest Hour is an Apocalyptic Sci-Fi film that was released on Christmas Day by Regency Enterprises. It’s also an apt assessment of the current mind-numbing trend of excessive CGI and 3D “technology” in mainstream American cinema. Far from dazzling my senses, this approach induced a brief sensory overload followed by an [...]

Greetings minions! Yeah, it’s been a minute. Saucy Josh went on a bit of a Horror Hiatus around Thanksgiving, and I’m only now emerging from my vampiric hibernation.
