Home Entertainment Review: Nightbreed and Lord of Illusions
Nightbreed & Lord Of Illusion (Clive Barker, 1990 and 1995, respectively) Shout Factory’s offshoot Scream Factory got into the horror movie business in a big bad way, not just hoping to become a new player in genre movie home entertainment, but intending to become the biggest game in town. Thus far, there’s no denying that […]
Home Entertainment Review: Dolls
Dolls (Stuart Gordon, 1987) – There’s a case to be made that Stuart Gordon is the most underrated horror movie director. He permanently carved his name into horror history with his debut Re-Animator, which transformed an old H.P. Lovecraft tale into a deadpan camp comedy drenched in buckets of blood.

This couldn’t be truer than in the 1961 classic Judgment at Nuremberg, and it serves as a salient reminder that when the primary focus is to lay […]

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 Review
Mockingjay should leave Hunger Games fans sufficiently satiated and salivating for the final entry.
Beyond the Lights Review

Wolves Review
There's no excuse for the werewolf movie Wolves to be as dull and self-serious as it is.
This Week at The Bloor: 11/14/14

EUFF 2014: Fasten Your Seatbelts Review
Fasten Your Seatbelts, the opening night film for this year’s free ticketed European Union Film Festival,tries to create a crazy romantic relationship dynamic, but is ultimately derailed by a narrative that has too many jarring and bizarre tonal shifts, going for a romantic farce one minute to a serious drama the next and back again.
