I like to imagine I’m really confusing the hell out of the little gremlin personally in charge of my Tubi algorithm. In recent months, Tubi has become one of my favorite streaming services. Its movie selection is almost unparalleled, and it has a wide array of both big name flicks and independent outings exclusive to the streamer. While most other services are clogging up with … Continue reading Prank Night Review
This isn’t my first foray into the history of the Slasher film genre. I still do love me some Slashers, but something like 90% of my experience with them comes in the form of franchises. Your Halloweens or Fridays The 13th or A Nightmares On Elm Street or even a Maniac Cop or three. I dig them, but I tend to dig them in bunches, … Continue reading The Burning Review
Written and directed by Curry Barker Starring Michael Johnston, Inde Navarrette, Megan Lawless, Cooper Tomlinson, Andy Richter, and Curry Barker Good lord, this is one of the most anxiety-inducing movies I’ve seen in a long while, allowing the dread and the bleakness to wrap themselves around me as I witness the horrifying and heart-wrenching consequences of an incredibly foolish wish. I had already been onboard … Continue reading Review of Obsession
I’ve written so many times about Shudder. No other streaming service brings me as much joy while, at the same time, also inflicting upon me so much suffering. Shudder Roulette is real; I never have any idea what I am going to get from that service. I was quite pleased earlier this year with Honey Bunch, sure. But it’s been rough sledding since then. Just … Continue reading This Is Not A Test Review
My uncle and his nuclear family are almost all borderline professional scuba divers. They have been doing it for years, and they’ve gotten various levels of certifications and… I dunno… degrees? What do you get for being really good at scuba? Medals? Regardless, whatever it is, they have it. They have dived all around the world. It’s… not for me. Were you aware that you … Continue reading Kraken Review

It is legitimately amazing to me how many shark attack movies there have been made in the world ever since the success of Jaws back in the 1970’s. “Shark attack movies” is almost commonplace enough to be its own whole genre of cinema. No other breed of animal has been committed to film as predatory antagonists nearly as often as sharks have. Granted, it’s not … Continue reading Thrash Review
You know a Shudder movie is a big deal when it gets a full theatrical release before it hits the horror streaming service. Previously, such films have included Late Night With The Devil and In A Violent Nature. These were efforts where there was clearly enough sentiment that they would do well in cinemas and draw in some more profit for the company, so they … Continue reading Dolly Review
The Wrestler-To-Actor pipeline sure is full of twists and turns and loop-de-loops. You would think that being real time performers for whom speaking is a large part of the job, they would be able to create a screen presence and recite lines pretty easily when allowed multiple takes. And yet, it’s anything besides a sure thing, as history has shown. One of the greatest and … Continue reading Night Patrol Review
Supernatural Folk Horror THE WHISTLER Starring Diane Guerrero & Juan Pablo Raba Haunts Theaters April 17 Diane Guerrero (Doom Patrol, Orange Is the New Black) and Juan Pablo Raba (Narcos, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) are haunted by an evil spirit in The Whistler. A character-driven blend of folk horror, supernatural suspense, and cultural resonance, the film opens in select theaters on April 17 via Vertical. I don’t watch as many … Continue reading The Whistler (2026) Review
First of all, my apologies go out to the Alien franchise. Back when I did a franchise ranking of that series, I lambasted the series as being a particularly bad one. I noted that it had two good movies and then a bunch of trash in their wake that I was reduced to trying to figure out an order for. Brother, I had no idea … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: Scream
Every year, the same thing happens to me. I seek to watch a ton of new movies, but after the first couple of months of the year, I worry I’m way off the pace I need to be on. There are just aren’t a lot of worthwhile flicks released between January and March. So I end up having only seen a few movies those first … Continue reading They Will Kill You Review
I get a little frustrated by movies that seemingly don’t know when to end. I was notoriously not a big fan of Nicholas Cage’s acclaimed movie Pig because, to me, it felt like a sixty minute storyline poorly stretched out to a runtime of ninety minutes. In the interest of making it feature length, they sacrificed good pacing and storytelling, and it all felt very … Continue reading Mr. Sandman (2024) Review
Here is some funny/concerning/fitting Inside Baseball for our readers: when writing these reviews, I actually write somewhat backwards. I do the Ups And Downs first, then the Overall, and then I come up here to do my preamble and short synopsis. Well today, after finishing the U&D and Overall, I checked the word count just to see where we were, and it was 666. That … Continue reading Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come Review
