I love horror, conversely, I can’t stand American Horror Story, which even has “Horror” in the damn title! You’d think it’d be a no-brainer because…well, horror. But–at for the first season at any rate–American Horror Story was trashy. And icky (and not in a “good” way). I mean, if I’m not watching horror geared at […]
Underwater looks awfully like Deep Star Six and Leviathan in terms of subject matter. If you’re a fan of underwater horror–and who isn’t–then it’s probably going to be a good time. (unlike the two aforementioned movies, which worked only intermittently). There’s one thing that makes me optimistic. Namely Underwater is directed by William Eubank, who […]
I’ll be totally honest. I enjoyed both Hellboy and it’s sequel, Hellboy II: The Golden Army so when I heard that Guillermo Del Toro wasn’t going forward with a planned third movie, I was a bit miffed. Though that turned to irritated really fast when I learned that, while Del Toro’s third film wasn’t happening, […]
André Øvredal’s Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark (The Autopsy Of Jane Doe) is a–for me–surprisingly effective horror anthology. And it’s worth mentioning that that screenplay and one of the producers comes courtesy of Guillermo Del Toro, which means that you’re going to get effects as practical as possible which is always a good […]
Remember my reaction video for The Hunt? Well, apparently Universal is no longer releasing the movie. Whether or not the primary reason is the studio kowtowing to Trump and his bullying it sets a terrible precedent because it gives radicals like him leverage and a vindication of sorts. Blaming movies allows conservatives/Republicans to redirect the […]
The final trailer for IT: Chapter 2 was released about two weeks ago and this is the first I’ve seen of it. And that’s not typical for me. The reason for the delay is that I saw the first movie in theaters, and found it terribly underwhelming. With a particularly strong emphasis on “underwhelming:” It […]
Could someone please tell me how series a based on 2007’s Event Horizon is supposed to work–I’ve got some ideas but I’m reasonably certain the series wouldn’t take the path I have in mind and even if it were to, I’m not on the writing staff and who’ll buy the cow if give away the […]
I like this trailer, if for no other reason it puts children in peril, which I tend to enjoy in movies. Let me explain. Most movies treat children as of they were made of glass and if you look at them too long, they spontaneously combust. And that’s just not true. Children have literally fought […]
The tenth season of AMC’s The Walking Dead is coming up, and I honestly don’t understand why this show is still on the air. I was a huge fan originally but as much as I enjoyed the characters and the occasionally innovative gore effects, it is wearing really, really thin as of late. It hasn’t […]
I haven’t heard of Toby Wilkins’ Splinter before recently–despite the movie coming out in 2008–and found myself pleasantly surprised because it’s really good! The movie revolves around a group of people under siege by an alien entity –and while it may have received a theatrical release I don’t remember it–and while it wears it’s influences […]
