[Rec2] Red Band Trailer

The highly anticipated sequel to one of the scariest films of all time, [REC] 2 picks up 15 minutes from where we left off, taking us back into the quarantined apartment building where a terrifying virus has run rampant, turning the occupants into mindlessly violent, raging beasts.

Movie Review: The Human Centipede (First Sequence)

The Human Centipede is further proof that white movie tourists can be the stupidest motherfuckers on the planet. Or the least likely to have seen a horror movie that wasn’t PG-13 or star somebody from the CW.

I wouldn’t necessarily say that the poor girls in the movie deserved what they got, but there’s no way that anyone who’s actually seen a real horror movie would let this happen.
