Criticature: "Darkman" - 9/22/10

I remember the first time I saw an ad for “Darkman”. I was about…oh, say 10 or 11? Granted, the comics I was reading at the time were about four or five years older than I was, but it was during this time, flipping through dog-eared copies of Alien spin-offs, that I first set my impressionable eyes on the Struzan-esque image of Peyton Westlake, in relief against a wall of industrial flame and shadow.

Reviews: "Drag Me To Hell" - 3/21/10

It was only a matter of time before Sam Raimi’s inner perversions caught back up with him. Honestly it’s been quite a while since he’s seen anything close to the horror genre and if big industry success has taught us anything in the past, it’s that once a guy (or gal) grows a big budget there doesn’t seem to be any turning back to the kinds of small cookie productions that got them there in the first place. Yet that’s exactly what Raimi has done here.
