Night Of The Demons It’s amazing how some low budget horror movies of the 1980s can still hold up remarkably well today (probably because their key components were still fresh and original at the time compared to the post modern era of today’s horror flicks where everyone steals or homages bits from the past and […]
Night Of The Living Dead Truly one of the most breakthrough horror movies of all time, Romero’s low-budget opus that came to be considered a work of art still holds up today in terms of sheer creepiness, with the surreal first 20 minutes and nightmarish final 10 minutes among some of the best filmmaking you […]
Night Patrol Political Correctness and the need to maintain it would become one of the most stifling elements of our entertainment culture when it was formally introduced as a “new way of doing things” by Bill and Hillary Clinton in the early 1990s.
