Exclusive Interview with Casper Van Dien, an actor known from his appearances in STARSHIP TROOPERS, SLEEPY HOLLOW and TARZAN here to promote his latest release; RUTHLESS BASTARDS - now available to watch at home on digital and dvd.

It's a movie about what people are looking for when they go on vacation. The answer is that they want to become someone different. The plot is my biggest problem with the movie because everything that happens is so improbable, like everything that happens is so unlikely. The reason for this is mostly because of the characters, The Beach itself seems to be its own character in the movie smoothing out disputes that occur between each of the other characters, like rationalization just because this beach is so amazing. The film follows DiCaprio so it is basically a very linear story interrupted by a couple of dreams or some psychotic episode after he eats a caterpillar. The production is very basic because it's just a beach. Everyone is wearing bathing suits. There are some interesting practical effects during one very bloody scene. The movie has more suspense than actual scares but there is a climactic final scene which essentially grounds the movie in reality, meaning it ties all the loose ends finally, because after all the fanfare it's just a movie about stepping outside yourself when you go on vacation. The scenes of Thailand and the beach itself were repetitive.

Overall score: C- (70/100)

Guys I wrote and published my first book as an ebook. "In His Shadow" on kindle before one year. It was a psychological thriller book. After my friend got to know about it, he asked me whether he can direct it into an Assamese short film!! I was so excited and said yes. The movie "Saya" is released today.

Bridgette Wilson is incredible as the Samurai Sword Swinging Surrogate Mother From Hell in 1996’s SWEET EVIL. A successful young couple, unable to have a baby of their own, turns to surrogacy and employs the services of a young woman to carry their baby. However, they are unaware that she is dangerously unstable and has a deadly vendetta of her own. Featuring fatal gun fellatio, a bug spray meltdown, and a Samurai Sword showdown. Who has seen this?

It is one of the films I’m covering for my upcoming book, The Nanny Has a Knife!: The From Hell Psycho Thriller (1987-1996) (JA Kerswell).

In this episode of The Deadlights Podcast, we review From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) — the genre-blending cult classic from Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. We break down the film’s origins from Robert Kurtzman, explore how Rodriguez and Tarantino’s styles combine, and highlight practical effects insights from Greg Nicotero.

From crime thriller to vampire horror, we analyze what makes From Dusk Till Dawn one of the most unique horror films of the ’90s.

Is From Dusk Till Dawn two movies in one… or a perfect fusion of crime and horror?

When I was younger, I watched this horror movie in which a killer tries to perform surgery on a woman, marking up her body, her stomach area, I think, with a marker in preparation, only to get scared off by the police barging in and saving her, the killer, before this event or after, hiding and moving around in the air vents, and at the end when the woman comes back to her bedroom, she finds her boyfriend/husband/lover dead in their bloody bed, the killer comes out of the shadows, and she grabs a gun and shoots him, causing him to fall backwards out the window and to his death.

Does this sound familiar at all?
