The Walking Dead Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
The Walking Dead: The Complete Seventh Season
George A. Romero was not only the creator of the Zombie Horror genre, he was the inspiration for Kirkman’s The Walking Dead series. To ignore George’s impact on the horror genre at large, as well as the Zombie sub-genre, is doing him a great disservice.

The Unholy Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
The Unholy
Vestron Video Collector’s Series, in my opinion, is a hit. They continue to release movies from their archives, packed with a ton of extras, too.

The Gate Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
The Gate
I thoroughly enjoyed watching The Gate again, it was a fun, rollercoaster ride, through the eyes of the three kids.  They just don’t make ‘em like this anymore.

The Lair of the White Worm
The single-disc package comes with enough extras to justify the price tag and any fans of Ken Russell will truly appreciate hearing the audio commentary.

Sinister 2 Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Sinister 2
The premise of these films is the “aesthetic observance of violence… as well as the use of rituals” to summon the evil presence of the Bughuul or boogeyman.

The Green Inferno Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
The Green Inferno
The Green Inferno has many valid points to make, not least of which, about the nature of arm-chair protesters and how their need to “Trend” is more important than the subjects about which they are protesting about.
