Prince Of Darkness

Prince Of Darkness John Carpenter definitely achieved a run that was second to none from the late 70s to the 1980s while directing an unbreakable string of sci fi / horror classics and the most impressive thing about that fact was in how he managed to do it while still keeping his films on a […]

Princess Bride

Princess Bride Sometimes there are movies that stand the test of time more than any other, whether it be because they connect with the audience stronger than your average churned out piece of cinema or perhaps because the style or the approach if you will was one that was majorly different than anything that had […]

Prizzi’s Honor

Prizziā€™s Honor A film whose premise was curiously redone in recent years with the atrocious Mr. And Mrs. Smith (two contract killers fall in love, get married, then learn that theyā€™ve been assigned to kill each other), this 1985 release, one of the last from legendary director John Huston and showered with Oscar love at […]

Pro Wrestlers Vs Zombies

Psycho 2

Psycho 2 Alfred Hitchcock (perhaps unintentionally) is widely credited with inventing the ā€œslasherā€ horror movie with his 1960 masterpiece Psycho, a film which not only shocked and outraged audiences at the time of its release, but also is roundly considered to be the single best piece of work that Hitchcock himself ever produced, ironic enough […]

Psycho 3

Psycho 3 There are very few instances of an actor who is playing the lead character in a revered movie franchise who actually goes so far as to get to be the DIRECTOR of a later sequel in that same franchise, but that is exactly what happened in 1986 with Anthony Perkins and his character […]
