I love getting screener movies because you legitimately never know what you are about to watch. A lot of times, they are lower-budgeted independent flicks that are made with a lot of passion, but not always with a lot of finely honed talent. Other times, they are completely hidden gems I might not have ever discovered before. Some of the very best films I’ve seen … Continue reading All You Need Is Blood Review
I write this on my birthday, having just gotten back from going to the movies by myself! My wife, you see, has abandoned me this weekend, opting instead to go to her friends’ dance competition in Chicago. Which is fine; it’s FINE. I knew she was going for months. But still… it’s my birthday, man. So I took it out on her by going to … Continue reading Heretic Review
Sometimes you can’t stop hearing about a movie, and eventually peer pressure beats you down, and you finally decide to check it out. Such is what happened to me this past weekend when we decided to go to the theater and I realized The Substance was still playing. I just could not escape friends on the social medias talking about how much they liked the … Continue reading The Substance Review
This review was made possible by an advance screener of Black Cab. Black Cab premieres on Shudder on Friday, November 8th (my birthday!). When Anne (Synnøve Karlsen) and Patrick (Luke Norris) hail a black cab after a night out their driver (Nick Frost) is chatty, jovial even, but they are in no mood to talk. In fact, the couple is barely on speaking terms. That is, until they realize the … Continue reading Black Cab Review
Sometimes things just work out, and it’s a beautiful thing. For the past several weeks, I have really wanted to watch Jennifer’s Body. I kept seeing it referenced either on social media or in pop culture, and I knew it was time I gave it a shot to see what I thought of it. Well a few weeks back I checked through all of my … Continue reading Jennifer’s Body Review
Remember Bodies Bodies Bodies? The A24 romp about a gathering of entitled, rich Zoomers during a hurricane that ends poorly when the friends decide to play a game together? The new Netflix offering It’s What’s Inside certainly does. After an opening that focuses on two of the cast of characters–a couple, no less, showing all of the lessons learned from the aforementioned Bodies flick–It’s What’s … Continue reading It’s What’s Inside Review
I really like when a movie can hit you with a powerful premise righty away. A quick hook to get you attached and held on. And, admittedly, some movies fail to really follow through with the promise of their initial grab, but it’s still something to keep you pondering as you watch. How will the flick resolve that early attention-getter? I bring this up because … Continue reading Daddy’s Head Review
V/H/S/BEYOND, the seventh installment of the V/H/S franchise will feature six new bloodcurdling tapes, placing horror at the forefront of a sci-fi-inspired hellscape. Directed by JORDAN DOWNEY (ThanksKilling, The Head Hunter) CHRISTIAN LONG & JUSTIN LONG (Jeepers Creepers, Barbarian) JUSTIN MARTINEZ (V/H/S, Southbound) VIRAT PAL (Recapture) KATE SIEGEL (Hush, “The Haunting of Hill House”) and a special presentation by JAY CHEEL (How To Build A Time Machine) I’ve talked before about … Continue reading V/H/S Beyond Review
When I started doing these Blast From The Past reviews, I did not intend for the series to be reviews from the DISTANT past! And while they haven’t all been, I’ve done several reviews now of movies that are in the area of one hundred years old! The Gold Rush and Nosferatu aren’t exactly the kind of movies that a lot of folks are checking … Continue reading The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari Review
I’m not really sure how I feel about Robert Eggers yet. For transparency’s sake, I have not seen The Lighthouse, meaning I have missed out on a total of one-third of his filmography. I don’t really have anything against The Lighthouse, it just doesn’t sound like my kind of movie. I need a little bit more to my films than farting and masturbating. That’s what … Continue reading Nosferatu (1922) Review

Outside of Robert Eggers’ The VVitch, I haven’t seen too … Continue reading Inherit The Witch Review

The Killer’s Game is the new action vehicle starring former WWE legend Dave Bautista. It opened at #6 and is not looking to set the box office on fire, but opening weekend grosses are not always a true mark of how high of quality a film may or may not be. So let’s take a look at The Beast’s newest offering! In the movie, Big … Continue reading The Killer’s Game Review
Rebel Ridge, the new Netflix movie, is directed by the same guy who made Patrick Stewart a Nazi! Jeremy Saulnier was also the director of 2015’s Green Room, an intense movie about a punk band being held captive by a cadre of Neo-Nazis after a show. And Patrick Stewart was the ringleader of the villains! If you have never checked it out, I definitely recommend … Continue reading Rebel Ridge Review
