Review | Resident Evil 2: Remake | Terrific and Terrifying

Capcom looks to the past in order to make its way into the future, and approximately two and a half years after first being announced, the Resident Evil 2 remake is finally released.  Given that the original game is often cited as a contender for the best entry in the series, this new version had some big shoes to fill.  So how does it fare?

Parasite Eve II - Beneath the Skin

For our final entry into this Halloween horror show is another throwback to the yesteryear of video games. Not quite as famous as the Resident Evil or Silent Hill games, and not solely a horror game. However, it definitely has themes and trappings that fit the genre, and enough gore to satiate the thirst of most horror fans; albeit, in the low resolution graphics of the original Playstation.

I am speaking about Parasite Eve.

More specifically, I am speaking about the second one, Parasite Eve 2.

So come, and let us wake this ancient creature from its slumber.

Warning! Possible spoilers for both the Parasite Eve 1 and Parasite Eve 2.

The Visit (2015) - A Spooky House in the Country

The Visit is found-footage horror film by one M. Night Shyamalan, yet another in the long line stretching back to The Blair Witch Project. Once upon a time, those two things, when mentioned in the same sentence, would have sent a shiver down my spine.

You may recall that I previously did a review of The Last Airbender, the film that is widely considered the nadir of Shyamalan's filmography. However, in certain sections The Visit is considered a return to form for the once acclaimed director, and a pretty good film in it's own right. So let's take a look at it shall we?

Murder Princess - God Save the ... Princess

Copyright © Funimation

Time for another horror-themed review, in order to celebrate the month of everything macabre!

This month we're going to look at an anime, or more specifically an OVA, that was released ten years ago. The animation in question? A little show called Murder Princess. No, seriously, it it little; it's only six episodes long. So, if that sounds like it might be your kind of thing, then please, read on.

As always, tread carefully, for there may be spoilers beyond this point!

Grave Encounters (2011)

As we move into the second week of October, the spookiest month of the year, we also move on to the second entry in out horror-themed reviews; Grave Encounters. Will this film turn out to be a macabre masterpiece, or will it just be horrifyingly horrendous in all of the wrong ways. Well, there is only one way to find out!

Beware! For there may be (minor) spoilers beyond this point!

Project Zero - A Horror Classic or Terrifyingly Old?

It's October, the month of Halloween! Which means it's time for the obligatory look at things on the spookier end of the spectrum! As such I'll be spending this month looking at films, games, anime, and television shows with more of a horror theme.

I thought I'd start with an old game back on the Playstation 2; it was known as Fatal Frame in the United States, and Project Zero in the rest of the world. I'll be referring to it as the latter for the remainder of this post.

Beware! There may be some minor spoilers up ahead.
