It's a great time to be a horror fan!

With "Orphan", "The Collector", and "A Perfect Getaway" having just been released, you would think that any horror fanatic would be thrilled to have so many mainstream flicks out there (especially when one is as delightfully gory as "The Collector"!!) But that's just the start as summer turns to fall. This friday, 8/14/09, we can look forward to Peter Jackson's "District 9", a big-screen tale of aliens struggling to co-exist with humans on our planet.

Two weeks later, Rob Zombie's "H2" and "The Final Destination" (in 3-D) hit the theaters. Unlike Zombie's 2007 remake of the original "Halloween", "H2" is an original movie written by Zombie itself which he describes as "totally different from anything else in the series." I, for one, am stoked to see Zombie add to the "Halloween" legend with his own spin on events after Michael Myers' initial return to Haddonfield! As far as "The Final Destination", it is truly wonderful to see the resurgence of 3-D films (in the horror genre as well as more mainstream films) that seems to have been kicked off with this year's "My Bloody Valentine." This film promises to be an adrenaline rush of action as well as gore.

September 4, 2009 will see the release of "Carriers", a tale of four kids driving through the desert in an attempt to escape from a viral pandemic that is threatening the entire human race. The buzz is that this one will be a nail-biter!

So happy viewing, everybody. I will be enjoying this part of the season and will return soon with new reviews. Blah Blah for now!
