From Dig Magazine: Unless you live under a rock (or at the bottom of the Marianas Trench), you’re aware that it’s Shark Week. In a tradition almost as revered as the Super Bowl, Discovery channel is filling every minute of it with over-the-top programming about the dorsal-finned apex predators of the ocean. Our fascination with […]
G.O.R.E. Score: Last Hope
Original Release Date: January 1, 2010 Publisher: Apricot Alliance As a reviewer of “all things zombie,” I see a lot of the same types of stories come across my desk, with a lot of the same archetypes used for the main characters in these tales.

G.O.R.E. Score: Night of the Comet
Original Release Date: November 16, 1984 Run Time: 95 minutes “Night of the Comet” is a very unique movie. To the average viewer, it probably appears to be just another kitschy ‘80s horror film. But for those select viewers “in the know” about this movie’s director, Thom Eberhardt, and what his true intentions were in […]
