As We Say Goodbye To A Horror Legend… RIP Sid Haig (1939-2019)

Chris Helton’s ‘Dead Water’: No Choice In The Middle Of The Ocean – Movie Review

There have been a ton of movies about people being stuck out in the middle of the ocean with a broken boat and no way to contact help. Besides the obvious problems of drowning and sharks, the reason these movies terrify us so is because we like to be in …

Casper Van Dien Interview: Shark Bites, Honeymoons And ‘Dead Water’

I love to talk with Actor Casper Van Dien. He’s funny, attentive and down to earth, qualities that many who have spent decades in the Hollywood limelight seem to forget. Every since his breakout role in the sci-fi action film, Starship Troopers (1997), Van Dien has been on a wild …
