Written & Directed By: Robert Hall
Starring: Bobbi Sue Luther, Kevin Gage, Lena Headey, Sean Whalen, Thomas Dekker
Plot Synopsis:
Laid to Rest is the terrifying story of a young girl (Bobbi Sue Luther) who wakes up in a casket with a traumatic head injury and no memory of her identity. She quickly realizes she was abducted by ChromeSkull (Nick Principe), a metal-masked serial killer with the money and means to emulate the 1980s Slashers. Isolated in an unfamiliar rural town, the Girl and those who have come to her aid must survive the night and outsmart the technologically inclined murderer who video records his vicious killings and is determined to finish his masterpiece tape featuring “the Girl.”
Review:
With over-saturation of remakes, re-imaginings, and reboots, it’s nice when a little slasher flick shows some originality. Laid to Rest does owe a lot to slashers of the 80s, however, this low budget flick boasts some fantastic gore and a memorable baddie with Chrome Skull.

This is Thomas Edison’s complete 1910 silent Frankenstein film. It’s available at the Internet Archive or you can watch it right here!
It’s cool to take a look at how far the Horror genre has come. This is a little slice of history, made available to everyone via the Internet. Pretty cool.
Thanks to @NeptuneSalad (Ben Rock, director of the totally awesome flick Alien Raiders) for letting me know via Twitter!

Directed By: Toby Wilkins
Starring: Jill Wagner, Paulo Costanzo, Shea Whigham, Rachel Kerbs
Plot Synopsis:
A young couple has retreated to the wilderness for a romantic camping weekend-but the trip quickly spirals into a nightmare when they are car-jacked by an escaped convict and his girlfriend. Thrown together by chance, no one can imagine the terrifying horror that awaits the two couples at a remote and isolated gas station.
Review:
I love a good monster flick. The plots are simple (man vs. creature) and are a great excuse for some clever visual effects work. Since the CGI revolution, monster flicks have been a bit underwhelming. It seems there has been a resurgence of practical effects making their way back to movies. I noticed this with the great (yet poorly titled) Alien Raiders and now with Toby Wilkins low budget monster movie Splinter. Both these movies owe a lot to The Thing, and I think things are looking up for the Monster Flick.

Found some info on Bloody Disgusting that made my day. Apparently, Michael Dougherty’s Trick ‘r Treat may be coming to Blu-Ray this year. The movie is on a list for a Buy 5-get-1-free promotion for Warner Home Video. We’ll see how this pans out. Other notable titles on this promotion are: Ninja Assassin, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Watchmen, Observe & Report, Terminator Salvation, The Hangover and more. Looks like I’ll be stocking up later this year!

Review:
Demons is one of those movies I would always see on the back Horror shelf of the video store as a kid. I remember looking through all the vhs boxes imagining what these movies were like. In the process, I would freak myself out and most likely have a nightmare that night. Finally, 20 years later I’m catching up on all the great horror flicks of the 80s, and the Italian gore-fest Demons is 80s mayhem at it’s best.
