That's right, bitches! Shawn and I are sobering up long enough to share our thoughts on the latest installment of a franchise we know most Basementites are down with -- Hatchet III! You know: Victor Crowley, Kane Hodder, Danielle Harris, and scores of awesome and gory deaths? Hatchet? III? For the uninitiated, here's what the third flick is about: a search and recovery team heads into the haunted swamp to pick up the pieces (body parts from Hatchet II we'd assume) and Marybeth learns the secret to ending the voodoo curse that has left Victor Crowley haunting and terrorizing Honey Island Swamp for decades. We'll be recording our thoughts next week and launching this mofo before the end of the month. Then it's only a few short weeks before we give birth to something we like to call Season Five of Film Reviews from the Basement. More on that as the date nears. Stick with us!

It's not very often that a movie comes along and totally rings my bell, but Frankenstein's Army is one of them. Wanna know why? Read on, constant reader! Toward the end of World War II, Russian soldiers pushing into eastern Germany stumble across a secret Nazi lab, one that has unearthed and begun experimenting with the journal of one Dr. Victor Frankenstein. I have but one complaint with this movie, and that's that it's yet another entry in the found-footage genre. But it has a traditional score etc. Why? What's the point? The film would have been better served as a straight-up narrative, in my opinion. End of short rant. Everything else about this flick is bad to the ass. In fact, there's an entire sequence where I was glued to the screen, my jaw wide open, shocked and awed at what I was watching. This is an old-school monster movie, with multiple monsters the likes of which I've only seen in nightmares. And they do terrible things to people over...

You gotta love it when a gal turns out to be more than just a pretty face. Such is the case with Jessica Cameron. The Canadian scream queen has already appeared in more than a dozen features and has at least as many more lined up. Plus she's getting ready to unleash her directorial debut Truth or Dare. Jessica also stars in this tale of six college kids who find Internet stardom when they make Truth or Dare videos with a violent twist. Things take a dark turn when their No. 1 fan decides he wants to play too. We're in line to review Jessica's flick when post production wraps. Until then, Basementites can scope out the gruesome trailer below and keep tabs on the movie via its official website .

There's few things cooler than watching a movie made by or starring a past Basement guest. It's the cat's ass really. Last season we interviewed director Steven C. Miller about his brilliant slasher flick Silent Night, and he dropped some deets about an earlier effort, Under the Bed, that had yet to be released. Well, it's out now bitches. And I've seen it! The premise is shit simple: two brothers team up to battle a creature that lives under the bed. Sound corny? Well, the final product sure isn't. It's like an R-rated Amblin Entertainment flick from the 80s, only sombre. Steven does a lot here with very little. The cast is limited, as are the locations. And sadly not enough of Eric Stolze's script is developed for my liking. This is a slow burn that burns a little too slow, in my opinion. Fortunately the final act really delivers the goods. We get gore, scares, a couple of laughs and even some suspense that would make John Carpenter proud. An...

Gotta give Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell and the rest of the people behind the controversial Evil Dead remake credit, they are NOT shying away from the gore. Not at all. Doesn't mean we have to like that the film exists. But I must admit the balls on display here guarantee I will, at some point in my life, see it. Because I'm a sucker that way.  Admit it, we're all gonna see it, whether we want to or not. As horror nerds, it's what we do. Five twenty-something friends become holed up in a remote cabin. When they discover a Book of the Dead, they unwittingly summon up dormant demons living in the nearby woods, which possess the youngsters in succession until only one is left intact to fight for survival. The obviously hard R-rated flick hits theatres April 12.  Thanks to the folks at Indiewire for the trailer.

A couple of weeks ago we showed you fine people the official U.S. preview for the British sci-fi/monster movie Storage 24. Now, to celebrate the film's release on VOD and iTunes, we proudly present the following clip. Kind of us, no? Storage 24 takes place in London after a military cargo plane has crashed, leaving its highly classified contents strewn across the city. Completely unaware that the city is in lockdown, Charlie and Shelley, accompanied by best friends Mark and Nikki, are at a storage facility dividing up their possessions following a break-up. Suddenly, the power goes off. Trapped in a dark maze of endless corridors, a mystery predator is hunting them one by one. In a place designed to keep things in, how do you get out? Go ahead, give it a watch. It looks like fun stuff. Magnet Releasing gives Storage 24 a limited theatrical run on Jan. 11. Thanks to Dread Central for the clip.

Yeah, we've been pimpin' the Marcus Dunstan's gore porn sequel The Collection for a while now, and we're not even huge fans of the original. But . . . and this is a heavy but . . . there's something about this follow up that just looks so . . . bloody! Case in the point, the featurette below, which explains some of The Collection's bloodier bits in detail. Grim detail. What can I say? This is a video worth posting. Especially given that the film spills 55 gallons of blood in the first few minutes. Sold! The sequel picks up soon after The Collector ends. Arkin (Josh Stewart) escapes with his life from the vicious grips of The Collector during an entrapment party where the villain adds beautiful Elena (Emma Fitzpatrick, pictured above) to his collection. Instead of recovering from the trauma, Arkin is suddenly abducted from the hospital by mercenaries hired by Elena's wealthy father. Arkin is blackmailed to team up with the mercenaries and track do...

Made during the cash-in period of the early 80s, when everyone wanted another Friday the 13th or Halloween, comes this little-seen slasher film with effect by the great Tom Savini. How does it stack up? Stick with me! A former summer camp caretaker, horribly burned from a prank gone wrong, lurks around an upstate New York summer camp bent on killing the teenagers responsible for his disfigurement. That camp caretaker is Cropsey, a real urban legend in upstate New York who was also the focus of a documentary we reviewed back on Season Two. Granted, the makers of The Burning use the connection loosely. This isn't art, it's a slasher movie. But at least they tried. Take any one of the Friday the 13th films and you've got the plot for The Burning. Hot chicks and horny guys? Check. Midnight swims in the nude? Check. Sex in the woods? Check. Boobies? Check. Bloody murders? Check.  I'm not complaining. This is standard stuff, but the kills are well handled and bloo...
