American Werewolves 2: The Skinwalkers Review

I am admittedly not much of a believer in things that require faith or in things that are supernatural or extraterrestrial. My personal thoughts on the matter are that I don’t have superpowers, so why should it be fair if, like, Bigfoot or aliens visiting earth exist! Someday, though, I’m sure my latent heat vision or something will kick in, and we can revisit this … Continue reading American Werewolves 2: The Skinwalkers Review

Destroy All Neighbors Review

We are back to some Shudder Roulette lately! I watched the fairly well-received Suitable Flesh recently on the streaming service, and it wasn’t quite for me, unfortunately. I found it to be very Malignant-adjacent, but it didn’t have the same respectability quotient as James Wan’s bonkers outing. That movie was a big budget, big studio release that had the balls to advertise itself as a … Continue reading Destroy All Neighbors Review

The Sacrifice Game Review

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

Underground 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

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! The episode kicks off the way so, so many do: With Buffy fighting a vamp.

The Night Of The Missing 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! Horror anthologies usually remind me of Trick R Treat, the cult classic antho from the late 00’s starring Brian Cox, Anna Paquin, and others. It’s one of the … Continue reading The Night Of The Missing Review

Visitors (2023) Review

Fresh off its world premiere at Fantastic Fest, Visitors possesses SCREAMBOX exclusively on November 21. The Japanese splatterfest has drawn comparisons to Evil Dead, The Exorcist, and The Toxic Avenger. (Originally posted HERE on 11/11/2023) I’m not going to lie to you; I have no idea how to review this movie. Visitors, the 2021 Japanese horror flick written and directed by Kenichi Ugana, was originally … Continue reading Visitors (2023) 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

The Top 50 Movies Of 2023: #30-21

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

The Top 50 Movies Of 2023: #40-31

It’s round two! As I continue to countdown the Top 50 (out of 112) movies that came out in 2023–that is, every movie I would say I recommend fairly strongly–we are out of the 40’s and into the 30’s. Let’s get right into it! (Unless you want to relive where this list started with #50-41, then click HERE) 40. Missing Missing is the quasi-sequel, half-follow-up … Continue reading The Top 50 Movies Of 2023: #40-31
