Sometimes it’s harder to figure out when a movie actually released than it should be. When I’m looking at a movie and trying to figure out what year it came out in, especially as of these last few years–I do a lot of Best Of lists and keep tally of where the flicks I watch belong–too often the “release date” can be frustratingly inaccurate. Especially … Continue reading The Sacrifice Game Review
SCREAMBOX exclusive Underground streams on January 9. Inspired by true events, the found footage nightmare finds a bachelorette party trapped in a World War II bunker complex. Found Footage movie! Boy, that’s a divisive term right there. People tend to either love or hate that subgenre of movies. Let’s be honest; most found footage flicks are horror, though certainly not all. And you have a … Continue reading Underground Review

From the producers of The Gallows, SCREAMBOX Exclusive Night of the Missing streams on November 28. The horror anthology features genre favorites Bill Moseley (The Devil’s Rejects) and Jenna Kanell (Terrifier). Anthology movies are often quite fun!

It’s one of the … Continue reading The Night Of The Missing Review

As a quick catch-up: I watched 113 movies that came out in 2023, and I’m counting down my Top 50, all of which fall into my “Definite Recommends” category. We’ve done #50-41 (click HERE for that), #40-31 (click HERE), and #30-21 (HERE). So we are into the teens! That’s not what I want to talk about, though. In 2022, I set a goal for myself … Continue reading The Top 50 Movies Of 2023: #20-11
Okay, we are through #50-31, and it’s time to keep going with this countdown! It’s the middle of the list, and it’s here that we move out of “Very Good” (my 3.25 – 3.5 star territory) and into the start of the “Great” (3.75 – 4.00 star) 2023 movies. I’ll let you know which movie signifies that change, don’t worry. And if you’ve missed the … Continue reading The Top 50 Movies Of 2023: #30-21

Happy Halloween! It’s wild that it took me so long to get here, but Nightmare On Elm Street is not like Halloween or Friday the 13th as far as rewatching over the course of my life.

For whatever reason, I have never held this … Continue reading Nightmare On Elm St Franchise Ranking

Happy Friday The 13th everyone! After the absolutely wonderful 1970’s and 1980’s, horror as a genre went on a pretty steep slide. The 1990’s were fine, but things started getting a bit generic and derivative. We began the decade with some really low-end slasher sequelss to still capitalize from what was big in the 80’s, but those faded quickly. Some meta genre-bending hit in the … Continue reading Thirteen The Fridayth: Top Ten Horror Movies of the 2020’s
