Immanence is a sci-fi/horror Trojan Horse designed to ham-fistedly cram the screenwriter’s pet theology down your throat. Its plot synopsis is a lie, a crass attempt to con people into listening to its straw man arguments. The flick is about … Continue reading
Vindicta is a bit of an obscure horror/slasher film on <checks notes> Paramount+. It seems like it’d be a terrible direct-to-streaming movie and, indeed, it has its budgetary and script limitations, but I was pleasantly surprised by how good it … Continue reading
Natty Knocks reminds me of a Goosebumps/RL Stine YA horror movie except it occasionally drop swear words, kills people, and gives backstory about prostitution. But that’s pretty par for the course for this unfocused and random movie. The flick is … Continue reading

I’m pretty lukewarm on the V/H/S found footage franchise… and I found this latest entry a real mess. Like the rest of the series, it’s presented as a beaten up VHS tape on which various short horror stories are told, … Continue reading
I renewed Paramount+ for this? Well… I guess I can cancel and spend the next 30 days catching up on Star Trek: Lower Decks…. As a guy who loved Stephen King’s original novel and who also likes both film adaptations, … Continue reading
