When it comes to sharksploitation,  nothing can touch Jaws, not even its own sequels, the lamest of which (Jaws 3D) is sort of referenced in The Meg. A massive summer blockbuster starring Jason Statham that takes place almost entirely on some kind of ridiculous underwater lab, it naturally bears little resemblance to that film outside […]

Desecration follows a teenage boy named Bobby on a surreal and visceral journey through the literal depths of Hell that begins when he unintentionally kills one of the instructors at his school. Dante Tomaselli is a master of atmosphere and an accomplished composer. The score of his debut feature is beautifully rendered and the atmosphere reminiscent of […]

Turbo Kid was one of the coolest horror movies of recent years, not least because it burst out of absolutely nowhere. Sweet, good-natured, stylistically exciting, and yet gory as all hell, it was a breath of fresh air nobody was expecting. Now, the film-making trio known collectively as RKSS (AKA Francois Simard, Anouk Whissell, Yoann-Karl […]

Shaun Russell (Gabrielle Union) finds the stress of losing her father compounded by a home invasion attempt which transpires while she and her two children are preparing her father’s country estate for sale. I am a huge fan of the home invasion subgenre. Accordingly, I was really looking forward to checking out Breaking In. Unfortunately, the […]

Wicked Horror is the author of Review: Along Came the Devil has a Good Title, Not Much Else. Wicked Horror is the internet's only horror fan site for free original horror movies, news, review & more.

If you took The Exorcist and surgically removed every hint of personality, you would wind up with a movie very similar to Along Came the Devil. It’s not hard to understand why so many filmmakers try to do their own take on The Exorcist. It’s a great film with an easy to copy premise: a […]

Mixed Bag: Why Body Bags is a Rough Around the Edges Anthology (That’s Still Absurdly Fun)

Despite the Scream Factory collector’s edition Blu-ray for Body Bags, it’s still easily one of the most overlooked titles John Carpenter has directed. It’s far from the classic status of Halloween or The Thing, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t warrant discussion. In many ways, Body Bags is as much as the director has ever strayed […]

A true final girl hits a series of notes within the composition of a horror film. She typically begins as an unlikely hero and, ultimately, emerges as a warrior ready for battle. The focus of most horror franchises is an iconic villain. The main plot will zero in on a series of incidental characters and one […]

Wicked Horror is the author of DVD Review: Dark Crimes Frivolously Squanders a Promising Concept. Wicked Horror is the internet's only horror fan site for free original horror movies, news, review & more.

Dark Crimes is loosely based on the crimes of author and convicted murderer Krystian Bala. The film really only employs the core idea of an author utilizing the details of a real life murder, to which he is privy, to fill the pages of a book that is believed to be a work of fiction. Screenwriter Jeremy Brock had a […]

Wicked Horror is the author of Label Makers: The Persistent Problem With Sub-Genres. Wicked Horror is the internet's only horror fan site for free original horror movies, news, review & more.

Sub-genres are great for categorizing. In general, that’s the only real purpose that genre serves: putting films in a certain place so that they’re easier to find when you’re looking for them. In terms of discussion, they become more problematic. Half of all horror-based discussion is simply arguing about whether something is horror or not. Genre has […]
