Jurassic World
Published on
It’s a summer filled with nostalgia as Arnold Schwarzenegger is back as the Terminator and dinosaurs are running amok in Jurassic World, the latter raking in the dough at the box-office like the original Jurassic Park did. Both franchises had their golden moment in the early 90s and were responsible for kicking of the use…

Sharknado 2
Published on
Well since Sharknado turned out to be such a success (Who would’ve guessed so many people like the clearly fake CG-creature features) SyFy has just aired the sequel aptly titled “Sharknado 2: The Second One”. I just love that subtitle… it’s for everyone that doesn’t understand the 2 after Sharknado. Guess they don’t think much…

Sharknado
Published on
It’s hard to keep track of all the killer shark movies. Ever since one Steven Spielberg gave birth to the blockbuster movie with Jaws these marine predators have been the subject of many movies including three Jaws sequels. None of them is really great, though some do have some redeeming quality to them. Renny Harlin’s…

Mega Shark vs Crocosaurus is the sequel to last years Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus which was a low budget monster movie featuring badly rendered CG-beasts. This movie is basically the same but this time the octopus has been replaced by a giant prehistoric crocodile. A badly rendered crocodile I might add and probably made…

Black Sheep
Published on
Black Sheep does something very right other “monster” movies today do so very wrong: the use of CGI. Or better stated: the lack thereof. If there were computer generated shots they have been used to an extent they never feel intrusive. Black Sheep uses old school animatronics and make up to bring the sheep to…

Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus
Published on
In Scent of a woman Al Pacino’s character rants, in a way he would do many more times after that, “This is such a crock of shit!” These words, in the same tone and manner, can be applied to “Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus”. But, to be honest, that’s to nobodies surprise. So the question…

Legion of Fire: Killer Ants!
Published on
After being tempted by a cool shot in the trailer on TV (an ant walking away with a finger), I decided to watch this ’monster-movie‘ which is also known under the name of Marabunta.
