Damian McCarthy’s Oddity is by my reckoning the best movie horror movie I’ve seen in 2025 (it was released toward the end of the prior year) not because it’s perfect – though it’s pretty damn close – but because it does so much right. By which I mean the movie introduces numerous things at the […]
I was surprised that I enjoyed Hulu’s Prey (2022) as much as I did though what I think so impressed me about it was the way that it advanced the mythology of the Predator. And sure, it did nothing that Dark Horse Comics wasn’t doing when they had the comics franchise (Predator and Alien currently […]
Apparently in the future according to Fede Alvarez and Alien: Romulus acid-bleeding aliens aren’t the only things that don’t quite make sense (I can see no reason for the Alien to have acid for blood and it has been a part of their mythology that’s always bothered me. It’s clearly an apex predator and such […]
My expectations for the, as far as I could tell, unnecessary remake of Steven King’s Salem’s Lot were fairly low because there were not only already two prior miniseries based on the same novel but both were pretty good. I prefer the 2004 version but there’s nothing at all wrong with the 1979 one. As […]
I have a sneaking suspicion that Robert Eggers’ upcoming Nosferatu is going to not do all that well at the box office. And there are a few reasons why I think that that going to be the case – take a look at the video for more – one worth thinking about is why it’s […]
I really enjoyed William Eubank’s Underwater – though if you haven’t seen it check out his first movie, The Signal (2014), which combines Dark City (1998) with an alien abduction story; which is admittedly a bit oxymoronic, but it works – and even own a copy (or is that license?) though whatever the creature is […]
Paco Plaza as a director has always been competent, but rarely innovative. In fact, I’d argue that beyond 2007’s Rec he isn’t innovative at all. That being said, not everyone makes it their business to remake the wheel and it should be enough to do your job with a high degree of competence though the […]
Apparently there’s a new version of Stephen King’s Salems’s Lot, and according to King it’s quite good though for whatever reason Warner Bros. has not released it (in theaters or streaming). Now I can see why Stephen King is concerned, after all it’s not beyond reason to think that maybe the series/movie will not be […]
I hadn’t seen Victor Salva‘s Jeepers Creepers II in a while so I recently rewatched it. And it’s better than I remembered. Jeepers Creepers II takes place after the original 2001 film with a new story that reveals more information about The Creeper and by my reckoning is one of the best sequels ever made, […]
I readily admit that the only reason I looked at this trailer was because ‘Red Letter Day‘ is the title of a really good China Crisis song (it’s also the the title of a U2 song, which I don’t care for as much) and it’s a horror movie. What it looks like is a play […]
