Alright, so I haven't kept up my end of the bargain in keeping up with my B-flick reviews, but hopefully my preview of tonight's premiere episode of Showtime's Masters of Horror will whet the appetite for horror fans out there or maybe just those looking for their Halloween fright fix. Be forewarned, though -- the preview contains spoilers. Over on TV Squad, I'll continue to review each of the remaining 12 episodes throughout the show's run.

Killer Blog from CyberSpace: Audition

I'm a bit of a newcomer when it comes to Asian horror flicks. I'm not talking about the American remakes like The Ring or The Grudge, but the originals like Ringu and Ju-on. I had heard a lot about one particular Japanese horror flick that gave people nightmares for months, so of course I had to see it. The movie is Ôdishon (or Audition), and I now forget what sweet dreams are like.

Killer Blog from CyberSpace: Seed of Chucky

I remember seeing Child's Play back in 1988 and laughing my fool head off at the mere thought of a puppet as a living, breathing brutal killer. I'd cackle out loud with my friends as Chucky would flail his floppy legs around, as his victim tried desperately to shake him off their neck. Sure, that was all fun for one movie, but five movies? With the recent DVD release of Seed of Chucky, it was time I found out.

Killer Blog from CyberSpace: Cabin Fever

Recently on a few movie-related forums I visit, I saw mention of Cabin Fever being the goriest movie they had ever seen. It's not an old movie, only having been in theaters two years ago. I remember the trailer not being anything special and thinking, "how could a movie about a disease be that scary?" For the most part I was right, and I want to know what Cabin Fever those folks on the forums saw because this can't be it.

Killer Blog from CyberSpace: Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan

I fondly recall going to the theater with friends to watch serial killer/monster/zombie Jason Voorhees stick pitchforks through campers at good ol' Crystal Lake. It didn't matter how many years of bloody, gruesome murders occurred at the lakeside camp - the teens just kept on coming. Apparently Jason got bored with the whole camping scene and wanted to see what the Big Apple was all about. Ah, Chrystal Lake - what has become of thee?

Killer Blog from CyberSpace: She Creature

There are only a few creatures, both real and legendary, that I'd say are quite a stretch to make scary. A few off the top of my head: unicorns, dolphins, butterflies and mermaids. It seems Sebastian Gutierrez (Gothika) didn't agree with me on that last item when he rewrote She Creature for HBO.

Good eeevening. Welcome to the Killer Blog from Cyberspace, a new feature here at Cinematical where we will briefly discuss and review some of our favorite (and not-so favorite) B-movie horror. Look for it here every Thursday night after midnight, if you dare. Muahahaa!

Sometimes a B-flick hits you within the first few minutes with something that sets you up for the rest of the movie. You sit with your mouth hanging open for a few minutes thinking, "'the hell happened there?!" May is one of those movies.
