A Michael Rooker directed scare flick set in a haunted loony bin fails to inspire chills.

Steve finds that a recent flick about volunteerism gone awry is flawed but has some creepy moments.
Crow's Nest 04/01/13

Seance: the Summoning 03/01/13

The Hole 02/01/13
Horror virtuoso Joe Dante returns with a tail of two brothers who enter a gateway which leads to their darkest fears.

Steve investigates a zombie flick set in the Civil War. Are zombies in the 1860s any more dangerous than in the modern era?
Blood Creek 09/01/12
Has it come to this? Joel Schumacher straight-to-video movies? However, it turns out this flick ain't half bad!
The Terror Experiment 08/01/12
While not entirely won over, Steve tips his hat to a movie that takes the rage virus concept and raises the bar.

Troll Hunter 06/01/12
Steve has warm feelings for an action/horror film set in the frostbitten natural setting of Nordic Norway.

Steve, normally a fan of the Children of the Corn series, finds himself asking, "Where are the children? And where's the corn?"
The Violent Kind | Shuttle 02/01/12
Two recent horror flicks are courageous enough to take chances that, while they don't always pay off, earn a certain grudging respect from Steve.
Train | Paranoid Activity 2 12/01/11
Steve finds another Europeans-versus-Americans film goes nowhere, but finds a few charms in a ghost of a ghost flick.
House of Bones | Deadtime Stories 11/01/11
Parker Lewis's Corey Nemec latest foray has some teeth, but George Romero is scraping the bottom for his trilogy of yawns.
Mask Maker | Doghouse 10/01/11
The video store guy finds a meatloaf movie mildly entertaining, while a zombie battle of the sexes is both scary and funny.
Ghosts Don't Exist | Ju-On: White Ghost Black Ghost 09/01/11
Despite not being completely logical, two new movies about ethereal apparitions generate some genuine scares.
Death on Demand | Rec 2 08/01/11

The Possession of David O'Reilly | The Haunted World of El Superbeasto 03/01/11
Steve finds himself genuinely frightened by a lo-fi occult flick. It softens him up enough that he's even got kind words for a Rob Zombie entry.

Zombies versus talk radio? A sequel that isn't? Steve finds both pleasure and pain in the latest offerings from the underground video market.
Night of the Demons | Triple Dog 01/01/11
Steve is pleased with both a nightmarish update of a cult favorite and a horror flick exposing the secret lives of teenage girls.
Ghost Game | Infestation 12/01/10
Steve is unimpressed with a Ouija board witch-fest, but finds a dystopian nightmare featuring an attack of giant bugs to be thoroughly enjoyable.
The Crypt | Book of Blood 11/01/10
A descent into hell doesn't quite get off the ground but fares better than a confused ghost story produced by Clive Barker.
Cabin Fever 2 | Sam's Lake 0/01/10
Moderate terrors can be found in a sequel to the classic 'germ as a villain' horror flick and a slasher story that takes some twists and turns.
The Hanged Man | Autumn 09/01/10
Too much talking ruins both a movie contemplating group suicide and a post-apocalyptic zombie horror flick.
Open House | Neighbor 08/01/10
How fare two recent horror flicks about the dark side of suburban living? Steve is pleasantly surprised by one, but saves his most acidic vitriol for what he regards as the worst kind of torture porn.
Airline Disaster | Dead Snow 07/01/10
Steve is equally amused by a low-budget disaster flick and garden-variety Nazi zombie blood fest.
Survival of the Dead | Bitch Slap 06/01/10
The latest in George Romero's "Dead" series lacks bite, but it's made up for by a campy, jiggly Russ Meyer homage.
13Teen | House of the Devil 05/01/10
Two tales centered around suspense laden locales fail to raise Steve's eyebrows.
Cookers | Psycho Ward 04/01/10
A modern fable about a haunted meth lab is equally matched by a serial killer stalking a prison.

Whether contemplating youth gone wild or doll faced killers, Steve is pleasantly surprised with the quality of this month's picks.
Alien Raiders | Dead Air 02/01/10

Science-fiction flies high while a Roger Corman ripoff merely treads water.
The Witches Hammer | Legend of the Bog 12/01/09
Steve, not a vampire fan, discovers much to like in a esoteric bloodsucker flick but finds an Irish swamp creature merely muddies the waters.

Christian horror fares surprisingly well in Steve's book, at least better than a tropical terror fest.

The final entry in the After Dark Horrorfest proves to be a winner, while a Twilight ripoff surpasses its inspiration.
Chill | Dead Wood 9/01/09

Are the newest entrants into the After Dark Horrorfest dogs? Steve has a hard time being entirely negative.

Anchor Bay sinks their reputation with a confusing serial killer flick, but the latest After Dark Horrorfest contribution piques interest.

A Japanese zombie flick religiously follows the rules of Romero while a French technothriller is visually stunning but creatively empty.
Capricorn One | Imprint 3/01/09
Lions Gate scores by rereleasing a lost astronaut conspiracy classic, but a Native American ghost story doesn't deliver the scares.
Wild Country | 20 Years Later 3/01/09
A fast-paced tale of humans versus mutants in the wilderness holds the viewer's interest. A post-apocalyptic thriller descends into confusion.

Steve simultaneously discovers a lost Bruce Campell gem and a confusing horror flick that epitomizes the two star rating.

Discovering that foreigners can make mediocre horror as well as Americans, Steve reviews a Russian hack and slash and a Danish sci-fi affair.
Room 205 | Dark Floors 12/01/08
This month, Steve reviews some recent offerings from the Ghost House Underground horror series. A Danish horror flick proves to be a flawed diamond, but a two hour promo video for a Finnish heavy metal group causes eyes to roll.
No Man's Land: Rise of the Reeker | Brotherhood of Blood 11/11/01/08
Ghostly terrors and gangs of bloodsuckers manage to provide passable entertainment for late-night viewing.
Breathing Room | Five Across the Eyes 11/01/08
It's a study in opposites as a locked room mystery stands out while a dreary piece of torture porn only causes groans.
The Morgue | Class of 1999 10/01/08
A new version of the same old thing can't match wits with a modern-day straight to video classic.
Copycat | The Legend of Bloody Mary 10/01/08
Two new tales about an unoriginal serial killer and a vengeful vixen provide moderate thrills.

Steve peruses a few more entries in the After Dark horror fest and records mixed results.

The Deaths of Ian Stone | Lake Dead 05/01/08
Steve finds both feast and famine in the latest from the After Dark horror Festival.
Unearthed | Nightmare Man 05/01/08
Two new monster movies are somewhat middle of the road but take a stab at redeeming themselves.
Killer Pad | Borderland 04/01/08
Freddy Krueger's directorial effort generates laughs and a kids versus cult movie proves to be the superior of "Hostel."
Masters of Horror | Catacombs 04/01/08
Steve is happy with the collected work of the Mick Garris helmed TV show, but the latest effort from the producers of "Saw" doesn't cut it. (Get it? "Cut it?" Because they produced "Saw"...)
Flight of the Living Dead | Invasion 03/01/08
The latest zombie and sci-fi films score some decent moments.
Werewolf: the Devil's Hound | Gag 03/01/08
The latest werewolf flick pack some punch, but the newest torture porn leave Steve colder than the dead prostitute in your freezer.
The Slaughter| The Attic 02/01/08
Steve offers rave reviews for the latest Lovecraft flick, but is lukewarm to a story of a simple haunting.
Evil Aliens | Boy Eats Girl 02/01/08
What's Steve's prescription for the most recent zombie flick? Needs more zombies! A fun alien film makes up for it though.

Meet the zombie film that wasn't and the final death spasm of the the torture porn genre.
Pirates of Ghost Island | H.P. Lovecraft's The Tomb 01/01/08

The latest serial killer biopic shows its sensitive side and holds its own against a stylish clone of Japanese horror flicks.
Haunted Boat | Curse of Alcatraz 12/01/08
"Move along... nothing to see here," is Steve's take on the latest batch of teen bloodfests.
Welcome to NHK | Demons 10/01/07
A anime soap opera and gorey blast from the past keep Steve's attention.
Mummy Maniac | Shadow Puppet 10/01/07
Is this new serial killer flick a Ulli Lommel disaster in disguise? At least the "stuck in a insane asylum" movie has some kick.
Borderline Cult | Dead Clowns 09/01/07
Neither the latest torture porn nor the long-awaited combination of zombies with clowns manages to tickle Steve's fancy.
Mustang Sally's Horror House | Shockwave 09/01/07
A movie about a Gore infested whorehouse spends too much time on the sex, but a Trekkie heavy sci-fi piece gets a raised eyebrow.

Both the final entry in the Eight Films To Die For series and a new horror spoof get passing grades from the Video Store Guy.

A cerebral horror flick gets high marks but killer clowns won't like what Steve has to say about their latest efforts.

Steve punches through the plot holes in a low grade forest schlock romp and an episode of teen horror gone bad.
2001 Maniacs | Motor Home Massacre 09/01/06
Robert England returns in a camp gorefest. The worst of '80s slasher films returns in a trite road horror flick.
Day of the Dead 2: Contagium | Doll Graveyard 07/01/06
Even with no Romero, DOTD II ain't awful. But its too bad Charles Band has turned his production house into a toy factory.
