Last Call for entries this week! I’m not going to say that Devin was a mere boy before he saw Darren Aronofsky’s The Fountain, after which his manhood was bonded in cinematic bliss and newfound vigor in the spirit of the art form. I’m just not. I will say that over the next 20 years … Continue reading
While the movies CHUD loves seem to flounder in theatres, this is where DVD comes in. Hopefully you’ve bought one of the most entertaining movies of the year (if not, click here), showering Slither’s home video tracking rating to its proper place (numero uno), and foisted it upon all of those unwilling people who hadn’t … Continue reading
The love for Tim Burton’s (and Henry Selick’s) The Nightmare Before Christmas is widespread and powerful in a way akin to A Christmas Story, neither of which I’m what you’d call a devotee of. I understand it, I’m just part of it. That said, when I heard there was a 3-D digital re-release of the … Continue reading

It’s still pretty damn effective and creepy despite all the baggage. Released today, this triple dip actually seems worth the … Continue reading
Though the quote on the cover that proclaims Chan-Wook Park’s Lady Vengeance is the "best revenge thriller since Kill Bill" might impress some of you, it sells the film way short. It’s apples and oranges. Actually it’s honeydew melons and the sacred fruit of The Antilean Goddess. This trilogy of films (joining Oldboy and Sympathy … Continue reading
Whether you’re a brother or whether you’re a mother, you’ll probably be this film. Actually, no. You will not. That said, you can win this DVD and that’s almost as good or even better, depending on how you feel about Frankie Muniz as a character named Swink Sylvania. Swink Sylvania. Stay Alive is the latest … Continue reading
"Witness the birth of fear" the poster warns. Hopefully this isn’t a flick about the casting of Reese Witherspoon and Mark Wahlberg because I have a rival project about that at Warner’s. No, this is the prequel to the remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Don’t overthink it, your head will hurt. I really dug … Continue reading
