Movie Review: Gehenna: Where Death Lives (2016)

A real estate development firm plans on opening up one of your fancy-ass 5 star resorts on a beautiful island in the Pacific Ocean, but as fate (and the fright flick rulebook) would have it things aren’t going to go smoothly with that lil’ bit of business. While most of the property is gorgeous A.F., there just so happens to be an abandoned WWII bunker on the property. Flying in the face of common sense, the firm’s agent and their island guides head on in to map out this foreboding structure…and guess what? The entire area is cursed for all time, our protagonists become trapped within and an ancient evil must be faced! As always, let’s take a look at what works with Gehenna: Where Death Lives. First up, the locations and environments are utilized well, with the natural beauty of Saipan (the island where the film was lensed) contrasting nicely with the claustrophobic confines of the sets used to

Movie Review: Hell’s Kitty is a Disappointing Cameo Packed Horror Comedy

Struggling screen writer Nick has got a problem with pussy…namely his cat angel, a demonically possessed feline that attacks any woman that gets within ten feet of our hero. Desperate Nick tries any method possible (including sleeping with her on a bed strewn with rose petals, an exorcism, and a seance…same things really) to try and get his cat to stop maiming and mutilating the female of the species, but with little success…and to complicate matters the nasty hairball’s victims suffer a form of rotting disease. Will Nick ever be able to tame that wild beast and have a normal love life? Let’s start with the positives…I’m glad Hell’s Kitty was an hour and a half and not two hours. Also some of the make-up effects are descent, and the cameos (though forced) were entertaining enough and included the likes of legends such as Doug Jones (Hellboy, The Shape of Water), Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes), Kelli Maroney (Night

Doug Jones Sinks His Teeth Into The Role Of A Vampire In Remake Of ‘Nosferatu’

Filming has now begun on director David Lee Fisher’s remake of F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent film Nosferatu. The role of the iconic vampire, Count Orlok has been cast. Amazing actor Doug Jones will play the role. Jones As Count Orlok Jones’ most recent role was that of the creature in Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water, but you might also recognize Jones from Hellboy as Abe Sapien or in Pan’s Labrinth as the “Pale Man”. The original, considered the first true vampire film ever made, is an unauthorized adaption of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”. Names were changed in the film due to the studio’s inability to obtain the rights. It follows a young woman’s supernatural quest to not only save her lover’s soul but to save the entire world from the “shadow of infernal darkness.” The new “remix” of Nosferatu: The Immortal Vampire will be created with a mixture of new footage and colorized digitally recreated backgrounds from the original
