Baskin (2015) Nightmare Hell Horror fresh out of Turkey (Review)

For seasoned horror and gore aficionados, Baskin popped up as if from nowhere, whetting many people’s appetites as a brutal gore-fest, something that could satisfy an itch with more substance than other crass films that have emerged on the festival circuit.

Society (1989) The Most Infamous Third Act in 80s Horror (Review)

When visual effects finally caught up with the gory imaginings of horror fans and moviemakers alike, technical advances in animatronics and more practical SFX in liquid and foam latex meant that the human frame could be distorted to an entirely new dimension.
