Films From the Void: TWILIGHT PEOPLE's Mad Monsters

HOUSE ON ELM LAKE - Starburst Magazine

If there’s a manual on how to craft a haunted house or possession movie, House on Elm Lake followed it to the letter. Every cliché is adhered to. One would say without fail, but the sad fact of the matter is that director James Klass has no sense of how to make a film legitimately … Continued

THE CURED - Starburst Magazine

The director casts his zombies as rampaging victims of an infection called the Maze virus, à la 28 Days Later, rather than the lumbering undead hordes of George Romero, which is … Continued
