Because let’s be clear, 2016’s The Girl With All The Gifts isn’t a zombie movie in the same way 2002’s 28 Days Later and it’s sequel also aren’t zombie movies (a zombie is by definition undead–as in dead, yet still walking. In either movie that’s not the case) but it does follow the tropes of […]
Netflix’s Ozark was a good series that during it’s first two seasons but never quite reached greatness because–in my humble opinion–it tended to be a bit over-written and stylistically excessive (why was Season Two tinted blue again)? Season Three addresses most of the problems I found with Seasons One and Two (the aforementioned filters, Jonah […]
I have a huge soft spot for William Malone’s House On Haunted Hill, the remake of the William Castle’s movie from 1959. And that’s because it’s a great remake despite being an okay movie, which might sounds a bit contradictory, but makes perfect sense if you give it a little thought. Malone’s movie takes all […]
I didn’t catch Tim Miller’s Terminator: Dark Fate in theaters though having recently seen it I’m okay with that. As I discuss in my video, the greatest problem with the Terminator films is by my reckoning not that they all have the same story but they obviously have the same story. And that’s not unusual. […]
Diego Cohen’s Mark Of The Devil (La Marca Del Demonio) is one of those movies that wants to be Lovecraftian but isn’t (despite the numerous times various deities of his Cthulhu Mythos are mentioned) and is in fact a typical possession story. And that’s okay because it’s not a terrible movie though I would have […]
I have to admit that I was expecting a lot from Robert Eggers’ The Lighthouse, the followup to 2015’s The Vvitch. And I also have to admit those expectations were, for the most part, dashed. Though crushed expectations notwithstanding, if that were the only thing wrong with The Lighthouse I might have been able to […]
Maybe it was due to relatively low expectations but I found Steven Kostanski’s Leprechaun Returns pretty damn enjoyable. Or maybe it was the acting, with Taylor Spreitler and Pepi Sonuga being particularly noteworthy in a cast that was overall unusually–for the genre– strong. Because if anyone isn’t by now aware Leprechaun Returns is about a […]
Horror anthologies are hard to get right. For every Twilight Zone you seemingly get ten American Horror Stories, so I was glad to see Bloodride turn up on Netflix. The series is Norwegian in origin, though the themes the series explores are universal, such as greed, envy and betrayal. Speaking of Netflix, a thing I […]
Alessio Ligouri’s In The Trap–a movie about a proofreader trapped in his apartment by an entity he believes to be Satan–is remarkably relevant considering millions of Americans are avoiding crowds and self-isolating because of the threat of #coronovirus to us and our loved ones. Which is an interesting observation to make because my video turned […]
I like this trailer. David Marmor’s 1Br reminds me vaguely of Michael Winner’s The Sentinel, a movie that not only stars a young Christopher Walken, but is a horror movie that I hold near and dear to my heart. The movie revolves around a woman who seems to be living alone for the first time […]
