Blood Games (1990)

REVIEWER RATING: 
5/10


Alternatively titled Baseball Bimbos in Hillbilly Hell (which pretty much sums up the entire movie), Blood Games is an easily forgotten backwoods survival horror flick to come out've the early 90's. The transition from the 80's was definitely a slow one, as the film displays all the stereotypes one can expect from the genre during the period. However, despite its many shortcomings, the movie itself is still a fairly decent watch on a dull day.
Uninvited (1988)

5/10


Suck (2009)

REVIEWER RATING: 
7/10


With the genre's recent surge of vampire films, it's hard to find something actually good among all the crap. The recent Canadian-based vamp flick Suck, luckily doesn't fall into the crap-side of things and despite its name, does not suck.

The film follows a underperforming rock band, ironically named "The Winners" that travels from one small town-bar after another, until they strike it big after their female bass player leaves with a strange man named "Queeny" one night, only to return the next day a new woman (or vampire).
Burning Bright (2010)

REVIEWER RATING: 
6/10


A young woman (Briana Evigan) and her autistic little brother are trapped inside their boarded up home during a hurricane, and the only other company they have is an F'n murderous Bengal tiger! That's the basic premise for Burning Bright, and as ludicrous as it sounds, the film itself is actually fairly decent, especially for a straight-to-DVD effort.
2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams (2010)

REVIEWER RATING: 
3/10

Tim Sullivan's sequel to the surprisingly entertaining 2001 Maniacs is finally here after being in development for a few years. Tim had problems finding the right funding for the film, which after seeing the movie, I can see why. While the first was a fun gore-filled ride, with lots of quirky characters and humor, its sequel is nothing more than a low-budget softcore wannabe splatter flick.
Bestseller (2010)

REVIEWER RATING: 
6/10

Bestseller is a new South Korean thriller that borrows from a couple notable genre flicks, but also blends a couple sub-genres together and delivers a decent little murder mystery. Not the most original of flicks, the movie does give a couple chills in the beginning and an out've-nowhere twist half way that sets the mark for a change of pace and story.
Daddy's Girl (1996)

REVIEWER RATING: 
6/10


Daddy's Girl is a little known 90's evil kid flick that I've somehow missed over the years. Being partial to the particular sub-genre, it's rare for me to find a movie that I hadn't heard of or seen before. Though the film doesn't break any new ground or offer much blood or body count, the decent writing and terrorizing lil' red-headed star delivers the right amount of charm, innocence, and deviousness to make it an above-average watch.
Road Kill (2010)

REVIEWER RATING: 
4/10


Road Kill is one of eight films in Fangoria's new FrightFest distribution banner, where they plan to release the flicks on VOD, DVD, and digital download on the same date. If Road Kill is any indication as to the quality of the movies in the rest of the label then I wouldn't get my hopes up, as this turned out to be a sadly boring genre effort. The movie attempts to blend two sub-genres together and I actually liked the concept and what it attempted to achieve, but sadly it was just horribly executed.
Disturbing Behavior (1998)

REVIEWER RATING: 
6/10


The Relic (1997)

REVIEWER RATING: 
7/10


The Relic is a movie that I've been wanting to revisit for a while now. I was lucky enough to catch the film in theaters and eventually picked it up on VHS, but hadn't seen it again until I found it for cheap on Blu-ray. This is yet another flick that I'd proudly consider a guilty pleasure and feel that it's a bit underrated as far as creature features go.
