Bye Billy… We all knew it was bound to happen. Looks like our friends at Bloody-Disgusting have reported that Gizmo and the gang are getting the reboot-treatment.

Our favorite hellbilly raises the dead on his finest haunting since his solo debut. Alright, I’m finally going to admit it: I wasn’t a fan of Rob Zombie’s Hellbilly Deluxe 2. I thought it had all the experimental, ambitious tendencies in the world, but initially crumbled under the weight of its own title. It...

They’re all going to laugh at you. Usually, I’m a nervous wreck when it comes to remakes. Oftentimes, we ask ourselves “why do they need to be made at all?” or “where are all the original ideas?”…This time, I’ll be a bit of a hypocrite and say Kimberly Peirce’s Carrie remake is shaping up to be...

Hey guys, it’s a haunted tree! Let’s hang ourselves under it!…Aaaaand scene. Folks, I have a confession: I’m a huge fan of the found-footage genre. When most others can fire scathing eyeball-lazers at Grave Encounters or Paranormal Activity, I’m always the one who can find the redeeming qualities in even the most incomprehensible shakey-cam...

Luca Boni and Marco Ristori breathe new life into the walking dead…and it’s weird-as-hell. For years, Uwe Boll has been Italy’s douchebag filmmaker of “Michael Bay” proportions (not as many explosions), and is oftentimes Hollywood’s go-to-guy for bastardizing game-to-film adaptations.
