Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
I had the distinct pleasure to talk with Australian Director, Jennifer Kent on her new amazing film ‘The Babadook‘, which is the scariest film since Stanley Kubrick’s ‘The Shining‘. I saw ‘The Babadook’ at Fantastic Fest 2014 in Austin, Texas, and needless to say, I had trouble sleeping in my hotel room that night. Jennifer was in Los Angeles, discussing some upcoming projects with big film studios and executives, and she took some time out of her busy day to chat with my about movies, life, and ‘The Babadook‘. Enjoy the audio interview below and go see ‘The Babadook‘. It’ll scare the shit out of you.
Film Review: ‘The Babadook’!!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
If you’ve met me, you would instantly know I’m one of the biggest advocates of the horror genre. I just have to get my hands on every horror title and at least view it once. No matter if it’s a terrible B-movie or one that has a treasure trove of blood and entrails, or a slow burn psychological horror, I’m usually a fan. I love having nightmares more than the usual puppy dogs and ice cream dreams, and I love when a movie truly scares me so much so that I’m a bit frightened to walk down my dark hallway at night. I know it’s a twisted mind set, and maybe it stems from my dad bringing me to see ‘Aliens‘ at such a young age in the theater, but the horror genre is where I feel most at home.
The New Trailer for ‘The Babadook’ Is Scary As Hell!!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
One film that peaked my interested back a few months ago was a little film called ‘The Babadook‘. We even wrote about it HERE, and you can tell that it has been scaring audiences all year at festivals and secret screenings. The film is a horror movie about a monster terrorizing a family, and it seriously looks scary as hell. Jennifer Kent wrote and directed the film, and I feel she has a bright future ahead of her.

Entertainment One International will release the film, which is a monster/boogeyman movie. Enjoy the trailer and poster.

‘Nightingale’ – Film Review!
“In all of its bloody chaos, you can still find the beauty within ‘Nightingale’.”
The 2014 feature film ‘The Babadook‘ took the world by storm. The horror that Australian writer-director Jennifer Kent created in that movie was refreshing and original. It quickly became a genre favorite amongst horror fans and myself where I still watch it five years later on a regular basis. Kent’s second film ‘Nightingale‘ is a huge deviation from ‘The Babadook‘ in tone, style, and time, although the semblance of a mother-daughter relationship is rooted in the story. This period piece is an ultra-violent thriller that goes for the realistic approach where a woman who underwent the vilest attack sets out on a revenge journey to confront her assailants in Australia’s blood-soaked 19th century.

Blu-ray Review: ‘The Conjuring 2’
Hi everyone, Bryan here….
THE FILM
It seems like a ton of horror movies come out every year, and most times, they don’t live up to their potential. There are a handful of horror movies over the last decade that really satisfy us horror fans. Films like ‘The Babadook‘, ‘It Follows‘, and ‘The Conjuring‘ will still be talked about for years to come. One name in the horror genre, or at least in recent years is James Wan. This man burst onto the scene with ‘Saw‘, which was basically genre changing and spawned a ton of sequels. Wan also made a few other horror films, all testing the bounds and pushing us into a new horror direction, while still respecting his influences.

Best Movies of 2015, According To Jana
Hey guys, Jana here,
Another year has come and gone and brought with it about a billion movies, some were total crap and a waste of time, but others…oh they were worth every bit of time I spent. Pre-movie hype, post-movie discussion, and the random hours I spent thinking about it in the shower or sitting at a stop-light. Having said that, this is my list of movies that 2015 blessed us with, and maybe a few the year cursed us with.
Blu-ray Review: ‘It Follows’!!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
THE FILM
It’s very rare these days that a horror movie consistently delivers on genuine thrills and scares. And I’m not talking so much about the cheap “jump out and scare you tactics”. I’m talking about a deep psychological horror that lingers in your mind for days after, causing you to look over your shoulder and think twice about those strange noises you heard. Not since ‘The Babadook‘ has a movie been more terrifying than ‘It Follows‘, which is a horror film from newcomer David Robert Mitchell who wrote and directed this masterpiece of horror.

Bryan’s Best and Worst of 2014 List!!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
I can’t believe how fast this year has gone by. 2014 was an interesting year to say the least, most of which was great. Movie-wise, I think 2014 had some excellent films filling its theaters, but of course it had some real stinkers too. Below is my list of the Best and Worst films of 2014 with some added categories down at the bottom. I believe this year I watched over 145 new films, theatrically speaking and it was very difficult to narrow them down from 25. After some chocolate snacks covered in marshmallow cream, I finally had a TOP 10. But when you talk about the Best movies, you have to mention the worst too. My list tends to be a tad bit different from others, but hey, I’m twisted. I highly encourage you to seek out these movies – good or bad and enjoy the rest of your year.
Jana’s Best/Worst of 2014!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
It’s been a big year for the entertainment world. Netflix’s initial push to bring movie-theater worthy films straight to streaming customers and bypassing the big screen altogether set off a chain of deals that will take those fresh releases and push them directly into homes allowing us to bypass a $15.00 soda, but denying us the $20.00 popcorn you can only get at the theater.Then came the deluge of series and movies being made for exclusive run with everyone from Netflix, Amazon to Crackle and everything in between. Top that off with the huge breach of privacy Sony experienced. New releases were flooded onto P2P sharing sites and private emails from the film company’s big wigs that show us how the infrastructure of Sony really works, not to mention what those involved really think of some of their superstars.
