The Texas Chainsaw Massacre / The Butterfly Effect
(2005)
The 2003 version of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre adheres to the pure and simple slasher movie formula: Introduce a gaggle of sexy young people, make vague gestures to distinguish them--Jessica Biel (Summer Catch) wants to get married and doesn't like pot, so she's our moral compass--then start hacking them to pieces one by one. The visual palette includes grimy crucified dolls, fly-specked pig carcasses, body parts floating in murky jars, a tobacco-chewing redneck sheriff, and many slender…

While most critics have been quick to dismiss such films as mere shock-fests (if they even bother to talk about them at all), Brottman…

FAMILY BONES is based on the TRUE STORY of the oldest married couple on Missouri's death row, as experienced one summer by their unwitting nephew. The writer, Shawn Granger, is the actual great nephew of Ray and Faye Copeland. Broken Frontier says "Family Bones is an intriguing project...From the offset the story seems to be a unique one - not just another sketchy profile of an obsessed, introverted sociopath (ala Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer), nor is it an overly cheeky attempt…
Dreadful Pleasures: An Anatomy of Modern Horror
Dreadful Pleasures takes a lively look at the stories that make our hair stand on end.

For the uninitiated the author has obligingly supplied a definition for the slasher/splatter film: "Any motion picture which contains scenes of extreme violence in graphic and grisly detail...."

House of Carnage
(2006)
I think it's a little more than coincidence that all of the 4 and 5 star reviews here are either from Pennsylvania or don't show where they're from at all, considering this movie was filmed in Pennsylvania. I'm a big supporter of independent, low-budget, and underground films. I actually prefer them over any of the big-budget Hollywood films, but this was just unbelievably bad, bad, bad, sad to say. The acting was atrocious. The special effects were beyond laughable. The "actors"…

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Gneneration
(1995)
This movie sat on a shelf for four years before being released in '98, as the producers waited for it's main stars Mathew McConaughey and Renee Zellweger to get their names well known starring in other movies.
