NOTE: Definite Spoilers below for Unwelcome (and two other older Shudder movies–Dawn Of The Beast and Night’s End–actually)! I love a good tonal shift in movies… as long as one of two things are true: -The first being that the movie juggles multiple tones effectively, and nothing really feels out of place in the universe that the film set up. -Or the second: the movie … Continue reading Unwelcome Review
Creed ran down the stairwell and burst through the door at the ground floor, nearly falling down once again. Ogre was killed by the thing upstairs but he wasn’t sure if it would still come after him. He raced down the hall, his footsteps echoing loud enough that it almost seemed as if the sound bounced off every wall in the detention center. He made … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #15
Dan was admitted to the ER immediately and rushed into emergency surgery. It was likely what was left of his arm would have to be amputated. His girlfriend Ashley, meanwhile, sat in the waiting room in a near comatose state. Alysa sat next to her and attempted to console her by holding her hand and talking her through the ordeal. Creed, meanwhile, paced around the … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #14
Farrell Creed briskly walked through the juvenile detention center to Miss Trudy’s office. The halls were empty due to the rest of the boys in the block being sent on a trip. Trudy personally asked for him to remain which excited him as he liked the way Miss Trudy made him feel. She listened to him and understood his anger which was rare for most … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #13
NOTE: Light spoilers for The Blackening! With The Blackening on June 16th, I have hit 50 new release movies seen so far this year! Well on my way to 100, my target for the year. This is after I blew right through my goal of 300 movies total in 2022! Movie-watching goals are fun and are in no way weirdly obsessive or time-consuming or distracting … Continue reading The Blackening Review
NOTE: This article will contain light spoilers for Brooklyn 45 It has been a somewhat rough year for Shudder exclusives/originals. To this point in the year, I only have two of their movies ranking even somewhat highly for me on my 2023 New Releases ranking. There is, of course, Skinamarink, which I reviewed a few months ago. And then there is the batshit crazy Spoonful … Continue reading Brooklyn 45 Review
NOTE: This article will contain some light spoiler material for The Boogeyman Based on an older short story by Stephen King! Actually, the way this flick was first advertised, I thought this was maybe a new plot from Stephen King–I was sure he was not the screenwriter–but upon further research, it is actually based on a previous work of his, published in Night Shift way … Continue reading The Boogeyman Review
Alysa knew Pete Bone Splitter had been in juvenile detention with Creed and once she began to think about the strange jar in Creed’s office, she surmised Pete might have some information. Learning about Creed’s past with the Skinwalkers might give her insight as to what would happen next. She realized she was likely cursing herself by talking about it but she was willing to … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #12
Creed’s office was in a non-descript two story red brick building. The first floor was the office itself with the front window simply reading “Private Investigator” with the business’ phone number underneath. The second floor contained Creed’s one room apartment. His motorcycle was normally parked in the back lot with a tarp over it alongside his pickup truck. Alysa crossed the street to the small … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #11
The teenage boy laid on his belly, peering out from under the small bed in the dormitory. The lights were off and he was the only one inside as the other boys in that block were gone. His breath was heavy and his sweaty hands gripped the powdery hammer in his palms tightly, the white ash accumulating on the surface of his fingers. The sun … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #10
NOTE: THERE WILL BE SPOILERS FOR SOME BASIC STORY ELEMENTS HERE, BUT NOTHING TOO REVEAL-RELATED OR INVOLVING WHO SURVIVES/DIES. I was a really big fan of Scream 5, though I do not think I wrote a full review on it last year when it came out. It had problems–it’s not like I had it as an 8/10 or higher or anything–but it was solidly at … Continue reading Scream 6 Review
Alysa ran to Creed’s side, “Hold on, Creed. I got this.” He remained on the floor, blood pooling around his body as he coughed and choked. “Just… go after Torres,” Creed’s voice was pained but sure, “I can… tell you where he is.” She didn’t even look at him as she went to work, “Tell me after.” She knew a few minor healing spells; they … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #9
Alysa took the glass of water from Pete and drank it quickly. It was dusk now and once her stomach settled, Alysa was able to have chicken soup and a glass of water. “How ya feeling?,” Creed asked as he sat down at the table in the backroom of Pete’s shop. Alysa looked at him and, for the first time in days, smiled. “I’m… Sure … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #8
Eight Years Ago… Alysa hid under a pew in the Iseda Temple; hidden from her mother and Papa Torres. Ella Saraki had gotten up in the middle of the night and walked down the street to the temple in a hurry, leaving Alysa at home. She was certain her mother had left to go on an adventure and tagged along. While she hid, she watched … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #7
A bit predictable, but maybe that’s from seeing a lot of Anime in my life. Beautifully (and frightfully) animated from top notch studio Project I. G. (They do most of the Ghost in the Shell stuff), “Housing Complex C” tells the tale of an apartment complex where several seniors and a few families reside. There’s a girl named Kimi, who lives with her mother. All … Continue reading Housing Complex C (from Adult Swim)
