Sleepy Hollow Review

Gary Smith

Based on Washington Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” with a few poetic liberties, Sleepy Hollow puts a modern spin on the legendary tale of horror. Rather than his original role as a school teacher, Ichabod Crane (Depp) is now an investigator from New York sent to investigate murder in the farming community of Sleepy Hollow.

Sleepwalkers Review

Gary Smith

What a painfully bad movie this is. Who wrote this crap? Stephen King took credit for this? You’re kidding me? The same guy that wrote shit like Misery, The Shining, Carrie, and The Green Mile?

Robot Monster Review

Gary Smith5 Comments

I… I don’t even know where to begin. I could feel the brain cells dying. Is Robot Monster worthy of this series? Yes, because it is a classic. Made in 1953, Robot Monster is a classic example of a bad movie. Not just bad, but downright horrible. Why was this atrocity even filmed, let alone showed to anyone? Who would pay to see this garbage, and why? Why hasn’t every copy of this been burned and destroyed, and with humanity pretending like it never happened? I just don’t get it. For the first…

F.E.A.R. Review

Gary Smith2 Comments

“Make them REMEMBER WHAT FEAR TASTES LIKE.” - Freddy vs. Jason Hello all and welcome back to The Backlog. It's been a while, but my shitty internet is working...well, barely, but it's scraping me by for the time being. With that in mind, let's back to business. F.E.A.R. starts out as a first person shooter, featuring you as “Point Man” of an elite, secret military group that specializes in dealing with situations that are, how might we say, beyond traditional realms of reality. Your team has…
