Horror Movie Reviews
Horror movie reviews are a must for cinema fans who like to be scared. Not only will they give you an idea of the overall quality of the movie, but they’ll often go into detail about specific points such as body count and the amount of nudity (both staples of the horror genre). And since many of these flicks are released straight-to-DVD, horror movie reviews are a great way to learn about obscure or foreign films.
If you’re searching for a reliable source for horror movie reviews, I’ve included five sites that should suit your needs. From the latest Friday the 13th reboot to lesser-known movies like Otis or The Cottage, every type of horror flick should be covered.
- Killer Reviews – This site deals with all manner of film, but it specializes in horror movie reviews for the discerning gorehound. View the latest movie trailers and clips, check out the site’s podcast, and enjoy interviews with the likes of Eli Roth, Danny Boyle, and Gunnar Hansen. A number of articles and top 10 lists are provided, and any red-blooded male will want to view the section labeled “Girls of Horror.” I also give this site high marks for using a giant picture of Jack Burton as part of their logo.
- Horror Express – You can expect the usual amount of horror-related news and forum chatter, but their movie reviews are what really set them apart. There’s a wide variety to choose from, including everything from borderline horror (Battle Royale) to deranged classics (Cannibal Holocaust). In addition to a thorough review, readers are also encouraged to post their own ratings and comments on each film.
- Obscure Horror – If it’s horror and obscure, you’re bound to find it reviewed at this site. A perfect example is Mr. Frost, a largely forgotten film starring Jeff Goldblum as Satan. While the movie isn’t even available on DVD, that’s not going to stop Obscure Horror from featuring a review of it. The site also features interviews with such notables as Rob Zombie, Debbie Rochon, Kane Hodder, and Ron Perlman.
- All Horror Movies – Over 550 horror movie reviews are featured, including recent releases like Zombieland and The House of the Devil. In addition to solid entries by the website’s staff, readers are also encouraged to submit their own reviews for publication.
- Fangoria – When it comes to horror movie reviews, nobody does it better than Fangoria. After all, their print magazine has been around for decades, and they’ve got access to everyone in the horror industry. From interviews and podcasts to news and articles, Fangoria covers every conceivable topic related to horror. Just make sure you’ve got a high-speed connection before clicking on their link, as dial-up users will go mad waiting for their graphics-intensive pages to load.
If you’re a hardcore movie fan, you’ll also want to check out our latest site at MovieCharacters.org. As the name would indicate, it specializes in movie characters from various actors and actresses, as well as characters grouped by genre and nationality. Click on the link and give it a look.
