Biography:
I'm a 34-year-old film freelance film critic who specializes in Euro-horror, cult exploitation, and Asian action cinema. When not writing about film, you can find me expounding on the latest videogames at GameCritics.com. I think games are an artform that have the potential to become like film--and it's very interesting to watch the medium develop from its infancy. You can also catch me as The Horror Geek on Comedy Central's pop-culture game show, Beat the Geeks.

Posted Mar 11, 2011
1/5 31% While She Was Out (2008) " If you ever found yourself wondering what First Blood would have been like with Kim Basinger playing John Rambo, then wonder no more-just run to the video store, grab a copy of While She Was Out and prepare to be astounded-for all the wrong reasons." — The Horror Geek
Posted Jul 29, 2009
1/5 40% The Horsemen (2009) " Horsemen proves that production company Platinum Dunes is capable of more than just screwing up remakes of classic horror films-they're equally adept at ruining original ideas as well." — The Horror Geek
Posted Jul 26, 2009
1/5 —— Against the Dark (2009) " A paunchy and bored looking Seagal (who's barely in the movie) fights generic vampire-zombies. Not nearly as cool as it sounds." — Mike Bracken's Horror Films
Posted Feb 25, 2009
1/5 0% House (2008) " House wears its religion on its sleeve-and like the pushiest Jehovah's Witnesses, it's going to try and convert you to its cause come hell or high water." — Mike Bracken's Horror Films
Posted Nov 8, 2008

Posted Jan 11, 2008
1/5 33% Rise: Blood Hunter (2007) " Sometimes you can watch a bad film and say "well, there was a good movie buried in there somewhere". Rise: Blood Hunter is not one of those movies." — Mike Bracken's Horror Films

Posted May 5, 2010
2/5 50% Triangle (Tie saam gok) (2007) " A loopy concoction of half-formed ideas and incongruous directorial stylings, Triangle is a disappointment." — Mike Bracken's Horror Films
Posted Dec 16, 2009
2/5 15% Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus (2009) " With a title like Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, you probably don't expect a classic film-which is a good thing, because The Asylum's latest release is a terrible movie." — The Horror Geek
Posted Aug 2, 2009
2/5 —— Cadaver (2009) " For all it's twists and turns, Cadaver is really little more than a merging of lazy American horror screenwriting, Asian ghost girl cinema aesthetics, and some occasionally inspired cinematography." — The Horror Geek
Posted May 21, 2009
2/5 49% Donkey Punch (2008) " Donkey Punch opens strong, but loses its way at the first major plot point. A potentially intriguing thriller devolves into a generic "last man standing" movie that borrows liberally from better films." — Mike Bracken's Horror Films
Posted Jan 29, 2009
2/5 —— Last House in the Woods (Il Bosco Fuori) (2008) " Last House in the Woods is a throwback to the days when Italian horror was a vital component of the cinematic horror universe, but it works better as an homage than an actual movie." — Mike Bracken's Horror Films
Posted Nov 22, 2008
2/5 —— Trailer Park of Terror (2008) " Trailer Park of Terror never manages to find the balance between humor and horror--but it does give it the old college try." — Mike Bracken's Horror Films
