I’m bad at acknowledging the 1960’s–much less anything before the 1960’s!–ever happened. Which, honestly, is pretty generous of me! I was born in 1980, so I don’t even have any tangible proof that the 1970’s happened either, but I’ve decided to allow them into my thinking. I used to be relatively anti-The-1970’s, but I have since realized the 1960’s is where I actually hold most … Continue reading Thirteen The Fridayth: 2020’s Horror
I need to watch more of the classic Universal Horror features from the 1930’s through 1950’s. I’ve seen a handful of them, sure, but there are several more out there. For instance, I have skipped The Mummy and The Phantom Of The Opera because I had heard they didn’t quite measure up to the rest. But maybe I’ll dig them anyway when I try them … Continue reading Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein Review
It wasn’t that long ago that I watched Creature From The Black Lagoon for the first time. I was going through the stretch of watching several of the classic Universal Horror features, and after having gotten through some of the bigger name ones (Dracula, The Wolf Man, Frankenstein, etc), I finally made my way to Creature. Honestly, I thought the sea monster tale was one … Continue reading Monster Island Review
Wow, for the first, I dunno, 50-60 minutes this film just makes you feel super awkward and uncomfortable! Lucky McKee sure captured “socially awkward” to an uncomfortable degree. Angela Bettis perfectly plays the titular character. I couldn’t get over how her hand performed throughout the film, as a person with severe anxiety, I can attest to the extreme degree of bending back her fingers are … Continue reading May (2002) (Dir. Lucky McKee) Review
I love when you can watch a new movie and directly trace its influences back to other films that you have always loved. But more on that in the Ups and Downs segment of this review for reasons I will get into soon… Coming out on 9/23/2025 to Screambox, we have the new horror flick The Draft!–and yes, the exclamation point is part of the … Continue reading The Draft! Review
It’s time to review another movie coming to Screambox, as we take a look today at the Brazilian horror feature, A Mother’s Embrace, which will be dropping on the service on 9/16/2025! A Mother’s Embrace is directed by Cristian Ponce, and it starts off in the childhood of our protagonist, Ana. She and her mother start off at home–where her mom makes Ana guzzle down … Continue reading A Mother’s Embrace Review
Not that I’m of the belief that it ever went anywhere, but how nice is it to see that mainstream horror is all the way back with the success that Sinners and now Weapons have had at the box office? Horror is having a wonderful year with the masses in 2025. With Sinners being in my top five movies of the year, I went into … Continue reading Weapons Review
She passed through the busy New Orleans street, unseen and untouched and to say that she did this in a literal fashion would be accurate. Both invisible and intangible, she phased through walls, vehicles, and the crowd with no one the wiser. Barriers didn’t matter to her as she floated immaterially into and through them. If any pedestrians had noticed her, they would have seen … Continue reading AP Productions: Femme Phantom Halloween Special
I don’t watch enough short movies. I helped MAKE a short movie once. It… wasn’t very good. But I was proud of it at the time. And, most importantly, it further taught me how absolutely difficult it can be to produce a film of any length or quality. I had made a few other films for classes in high school, and those were even worse … Continue reading The Littles Review
Uncontained infects SCREAMBOX exclusively on March 11. A mysterious drifter struggles to protect abandoned children from an infection that turns people into a feral-like state. It’s been over twenty years since the zombie film experienced its revival in the early 2000’s with outings like 28 Days Later, Dawn Of The Dead, and Shaun Of The Dead. Leading up to the massive success of those entries, … Continue reading Uncontained Review
Anyone who knows me knows that I love some 1980’s horror movies and franchises. Obviously I have long been a lover of the big series like Friday The 13th, Halloween, and A Nightmare On Elm Street, but I also quite dig the lower tier stuff when I have seen it. Movies like Maniac Cop, Grotesque, or Chopping Mall are highly enjoyable despite their lower budgets. … Continue reading Killer Klowns From Outer Space Review
I never saw my first Predator movie until after the COVID-19 pandemic started. When I found myself with more time at home during that worldwide crisis, I decided to start plowing through movies I had never seen before (and that’s a hobby for me that has continued ever since). Early on in that rush, I watched the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger action classic, Predator. I really … Continue reading Predator: Killer Of Killers Review
The Shadow Way part 5 (finale) As Alysa Saraki lay bleeding on the ground, Queen Faith turned and made her way to the front door of Ella Saraki’s former home. Initially, she planned to set the house on fire to lure Alysa to the area but she arrived before that happened. And yet, after all that had transpired in Winghaven and all the wrongs she … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #35
It’s time for another blast from the past review, as I continue my march through the list of classic movies that I have never seen before. I actually had to take two tries to watch Godzilla 1954; my first attempt saw me find a copy on my friend’s Plex server that was buried under an audio track talking about the history of Japan and the … Continue reading Godzilla (1954) Review
The Shadow Way part 4 Creed rose to his feet and wiped the sweat from his brow. The bloody machete was tossed aside, then he looked down at his handiwork. “I gotta say, I’m a little impressed. You weren’t ly’n when you said you couldn’t feel pain,” Creed wiped some blood on his pants, “Not a peep from you. Respect. Even the toughest bastards out … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #34
