Malefic Review

-



DIRECTOR: Steve Sessions

CAST: Jeff Dylan Graham, Lilith Stabs, Cynder Moon, Lucien Eisenach




In Hobbs Bluff, Louisiana...four crimals have recently stolen the corpse of a dead child. They travel to an isolated cabin in the woods of an occult author. Their plan is to hold the corpse for ransom...but things go horribly wrong when they mess with an ancient sprirt board and something is conjured up that comes for them one by one.
I have heard alot of great things about this film and I was lucky enough to find a limited edition VHS copy at a recent horror convention.

There was only one other film by Steve Sessions that I have seen called CREMAINS and I quite enjoyed it, so I had to see what other films he has done. Damn...this guy can make some really cool horror films. I definately want to see more of his works.

Hmmm...the acting was actually quite good, especially that of Lilith Stabs and Jeff Dylan Graham. They both had appeared in CREMAINS and were both awesome in that one as well. These 2 work great together and I better see more films that they have done together...or else!

Ok...when I first started watching this film all I could think of was that this was another EVIL DEAD rip-off, which is what we definately didn't need. Sure...it might've seemed like that at the beginning, but soon turned into a film of it's own afterwards. The cabin in the woods was great and the atmosphere was very creepy. Hell...watching this film made me realize that I would never want to go to an isolated cabin...or mess with a ouija board either. Very creepy stuff there!

This creature that was conjured up was kinda weird looking, but I thought it was great. I was just a little disappointed that it wasn't as gory as I was hoping it would be, but I will say that the ending quite surprised me and made me love it even more.

All in all...the story was great and the acting was awesome. I usually don't like films that were done in black & white...but if there is one indie film that should be checked out, it's definately MALEFIC. 

You won't be sorry!

X Review

  Cast: Mia Goth, Jenna Ortega, Brittany Snow, Martin Henderson, Kid Cudi, Stephen Ure, Owen Campbell  Director: Ti West  A film crew rents a guest house from an elderly couple to make an adult film.  As the night goes on and tensions rise, they are killed off one by one in really gruesome fashion by someone that is observing what kind of filth they are making. First of all, I have to admit that I am not a fan of the films that A24 comes out with. For the most part, they are completely boring and uninteresting to me.   I am the type of person that can't get into films that are known as "slow burns" because I have a tendency to fall asleep. However, X is a much different kind of horror film. Sure, it's still slow-paced, but the storyline is very interesting that you actually don't even realize how long it's taking for the first murder begins and one that happens, you are in for a wild ride. X is set in the rural backwoods of Texas in the 70's and that made ...

Halloween Kills Trailer Review

 Late last week someone had leaked out the trailer for HALLOWEEN KILLS. I didn't have any idea, so I never watched the poor quality that was floating around. The trailer was due to be dropped this week, so what was the studio going to do about this?  Well, you guessed it, they released the official HALLOWEEN KILLS trailer within hours of the leak and that means Halloween came early for us hardcore fans. We all had to wait a year for this movie to finally come out since theaters were closed due to the COVID restrictions and lockdowns. Now that things are getting back to normal and theaters are opening up again, we are finally back on track with movie releases.  So with that said, will HALLOWEEN KILLS live up to expectations? I watched the trailer and let me just say....YES!  I had heard early on that this new Halloween film will be the most brutal and bloody of all the Halloween films and that is including the Rob Zombie movies and that is saying something there. The ...

Cast: Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer, Andi Matichak, Anthony Michael Hall. Kyle Richards, James Jude Courtney  Director: David Gordon Green  After the events of HALLOWEEN 2018, Laurie, Karen and Allyson have escaped the wrath of Michael Myers with Michael trapped in the burning basement of Laurie's compound. However, evil never dies as Michael escapes from the burning building and is more pissed then ever as he goes on the most brutal and bloodiest killing spree to date (forget the RZ versions please). I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of HALLOWEEN KILLS ever since it was first announced for 2020. And then the unthinkable happened, COVID hit and the movie was pushed to 2021.  I was really worried that the movie was going to be pushed again, but I am so thankful that it didn't occur and HALLOWEEN KILLS has finally been released worldwide. Now, let me get into my thoughts on what was my most anticipated movie of the year. Holy shit, HALLOWEEN KILLS was what I was exp...
