Cellar Door is a conceptual mess… and a bait-and-switch. It’s misleading in its synopsis and I’m all grumblypegs about that. Less grumblypegs that the cover art clearly shows Scott Speedman and Jordana Brewster who I like but didn’t recognize until … Continue reading
Homestead is about a nuclear bomb that goes off in L.A. and how that, I dunno, leads to the collapse of the US. To be fair, there was also a cyber attack that cut the power on the East Coast … Continue reading
Get Away is a theatrically released Shudder film starring (and written by) Nick Frost. That’s interesting in that Nick Frost has a second 2024 Shudder film that I keep meaning to watch called Black Cab. So I guess he’s in … Continue reading

As a guy who liked the first Joker (had some issues but most of it worked), I was uncertain how to feel about this sequel going in. Word of mouth wasn’t great. And, wow, were my lowered expectations met…. and … Continue reading
The biggest problem with Monster Summer isn’t that it’s a children’s horror movie, it’s the misleading advertising. This isn’t a movie about monsters at all… no werewolves, no creatures from black lagoons, no Frankenstein’s whatever, not even a particularly nasty … Continue reading
