Trailer-Talk: Texas Chainsaw 3-D

 'Texas Chainsaw 3-D'. That's what they're going with. Anyway, I'm a big fan of the first two (AKA Tobe Hooper's) Texas Chainsaw Massacre films, the first a strictly horror (and man it was horrifying), and its sequel a satirical horror-comedy (akin to certain segments of Evil Dead 2). All of the sequels that followed sucked. Badly. However, the remake was actually pretty good, but the remake's prequel (does that make sense?) was banished (and rightfully so) to the "forgotten-TCM movie zone". 

Review: House at the End of the Street

Review: House at the End of the Street

 With a name a little too similar to Wes Craven's masterpiece 'Last House On the Left', I went into 'House at the End of the Street' without reading any interviews, and seeing little footage (as not to either influence my opinion or spoil too much). I'm going to be honest with you, I like Max Thieriot (My Soul to Take, Jumper, etc.) and Jennifer Lawrence (The Hunger Games, X-Men: First Class, etc.), so I did have an expectation for at the very least decent performances. I was right.

 Let me begin by saying that Wes Craven's 'A Nightmare On Elm Street' has always been one of my favorite horror movies, and one of the first I ever saw, so I have fond memories of it. Excuse me if I get excited. 

 Wes Craven is truly a master of horror. Sure he's had a few misfires (Shocker, anyone?), but he's the man that brought us the classic horror movies 'Last House On the Left', 'The Hills Have Eyes', 'Scream', and of course 'A Nightmare On Elm Street'. If you haven't noticed yet, I'm a huge fan.

Why Meta-Horror Movies Are the Only Horror Films Worth Making, Now

 Let me begin by saying if you're reading this and you disliked both Wes Craven's "Scream" or this summer's "Cabin in the Woods", you will completely disagree with everything I have to say here, and you should just exit out now. This also applies for those who haven't seen either of those movies, as SPOILERS abound. If you did enjoy them, by all means, read on.
