Saturday March 29th, the undead descended on the unsuspecting Clarion Hotel in Greensboro. Although some came looking for fresh brains and warm human flesh,the majority were in attendance for the first Zombie-related convention to be held in Central North Carolina (as far as I know). Organized by Mark Bowers, the convention, according to Bower's blog, had over 500 people take part in the day’s

We here at the TLC have all talked it over, and those that like horror films think that "30 Days of Night" is the best vampire film we have seen in quite a while. We think that it is so good that, aside from the gore, anyone can enjoy this film.It is not often that many people can agree on the same movie, but there are those films that seem universal, across the board, that everyone can watch and

Two Czech students give reality shows a whole new incarnation for their final project in film school with an idea even Morgan Spurlock of Super Size Me fame covets. They fashion and promote a capitalist dream- a shop till you drop big box store (or hypermarket as the Czech lingo goes) which in reality is but a 100 foot façade supported by scaffolding in the back.Fashion make-overs transform and

Eastern Promises (DV4864, 4865) This is David Cronenberg’s new film, and, as usual, Cronenberg puts together an amazing and stellar, thinking person’s movie. In Cronenberg’s three decade plus career, he has really evolved as a director (from surreal slasher-horror to well-paced drama) and Eastern Promises could easily be described as his best effort to date. Cronenberg works with visual

Green defines his own movie as a return to the gore and conventions of early-eighties slasher films. However, Hatchet plays more as a noble but homogenized low quality copy. This is a shame since the production company’s

That's often why, when someone walks up to ask a question, we blink back into focus and look around with a surprised expression.In order to defend against such
