The Bayou is not a good movie… but its got a curious level of competency AND incompetency that makes it a bit of low rent trashy fun. I’m not saying it’s good, but it’s weirdly amusing. It’s about a small … Continue reading
The Monkey is an adaptation of an early Stephen King short story that, perhaps, would be a little silly to produce today. So they didn’t take it seriously… and I’m not sure how obvious that is from the trailer. But … Continue reading
Heart Eyes rather surprised me. For a movie that sounded like the grimdark sequel to the Emoji Movie, I wound up really enjoying it. Partly because it’s a rom-com slasher that takes its romantic comedy angle just as seriously as … Continue reading
Grafted is a solid first half of a mean girls horror film until it takes a left turn into territory that, conceptually makes sense, but doesn’t really work in other ways. It’s disappointing since I loved the first half as … Continue reading

Bloody Axe Wound is a movie that had an idea and execution… but made so little sense that I spent the whole time wondering what they were even doing. It’s about a town with a long-running slasher problem. It stars … Continue reading
Nosferatu is Robert Eggers’ fourth – and best – full-length film. And it almost wasn’t if its over-familiarity kept getting in my way. I mean, it’s just Bram Stoker’s Dracula as filtered through the original 1929 silent film and a … Continue reading
