Good Bigfoot movies are hard to come by. Off the top of my head I can recall (“sorta” as far as the former is concerned) The Legend of Boggy Creek (1972), Willow Creek (2012) and Exists (2014). Which isn’t to say that there’re aren’t more, just that they aren’t particularly good. Prove me wrong. They’re […]
Not to be confused with The Aisle (which you’d think was the title of this movie as often as I’ve corrected myself). Anyway, the fetishization of black and white filmmaking by some has always bothered me because they typically imply that it began as an esthetic choice, as opposed to filmmakers having no other option. […]
If you’ve had your fill of Rick And Morty – I haven’t though sometimes I find the show too clever for it’s own good. It’s definitely a smart show, but I feel as if on occasion it rubs viewers noses in how witty it is, which gets tiring. And then there’s Archer – another great […]
I was really impressed with Sang ho-Yeon’s Train To Busan (2016) though when I heard that there was a sequel I was curious about it but also somewhat concerned because sequels can be franchise killers in that they either are clones of the original movie – making them pointless – or they’re so wildly divergent […]
Considering the disaster of a year we’re currently enduring I didn’t imagine I want to see – much less enjoy – a movie about a comet slamming into the planet – though could it make things any worse? Judging from Ric Roman Waugh’s Greenland, the answer is “Yes. Yes it could.” That being said I […]
I tend to dislike reboots with a passion because – more often than not – they tend to either be cynical money grabs or retreads of what we’ve already seen. In other words, typically wastes of time. For instance the reboot of Total Recall (2012) wasn’t terrible but the original, directed by Paul Verhoeven (Robocop), […]
Stuart Gordon’s Castle Freak is not The Outsider – the story by H.P. Lovecraft’s short story that it’s based upon – though it is interesting in it’s own right. It takes the essential essence of Lovecraft’s story – a being separate from humanity due to his alienness (it’s always a “he” with Lovecraft) – a […]
Josh Boone’s The New Mutants may have had a horrific, bloody path to cinemas but that has little to do with the movie itself, which is…okay. The story opens with Dani Moonstar (Blu Hunt, who incidentally happens to look just like Rose Salazar from Battle Angel Alita minus the anime-style eyes) who’s sleeping when a […]
To begin, let’s establish a baseline of sorts. Sang ho-Yeon’s Train To Busan, while it promotes itself as a zombie movie, isn’t. It’s actually closer to “infected” movies like 28 Days Later, Rec, The Girl With All The Gifts and The Night Eats The World than a traditional zombie movie. And while George Romero didn’t […]
Dave Franco’s – the brother of James – feature debut is an auspicious horror movie (Kinda, as far as the horror is concerned? I’ll go into that a bit deeper in a moment) called The Rental. What’s so impressive about his movie is how well it’s shot. It has a distinct visual sense as well […]
