Matt Stumpf

My name's Matt, and I love all things horror. Books, movies, video games; you name it, I like it. Martyrs is my favorite horror film, and everyone should watch it. I also have a soft-spot for those cheesy 80's slashers. I'm still slightly convinced that Faces of Death is real.

Michael Findlay’s ‘Shriek Of The Mutilated’ (1974) Vinegar Syndrome 4K Restoration Blu-ray Review

Yeti movies typically don’t do anything for me, and I was skeptical about Shriek Of The Mutilated. Similar to my review of Voyage Of The Rock Aliens, I watched the trailer and wasn’t completely sold.

Mike Cuenca’s ‘I’ll Be Around’ (2020) Movie Review

I’ll admit, when I was first told about I’ll Be Around, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I figured it’d have some good music and that there would be some sort of big plot to follow throughout the whole film. What I actually found was much more nuanced. I’ll Be Around is …

Back Road is the directorial debut of Andrew Pizzo, which is being shown in a fully X-rated, uncut version. When I was initially asked if I had any interest in checking this out, I was caught off guard. People still make X-rated films? After the initial shock, I said, “What the …
