This is what I got vaccinated for? This is what I get when I go back to the theater? This is what Hollywood decides is a theatrical-only experience? Sure, sure. Bad horror movies are a dime a dozen, but they … Continue reading
While I respect anyone who looks at a giant spider movie and says to himself, “Yeah, I can do that as an art house horror film”, I’m afraid the results were pretty grim. The Arbors is about a quiet, shy … Continue reading
I wasn’t expecting a dark comedy when I started this flick… and part of me wonders if they planned on making one. But here we go… a darkly comedic, wildly improbably gory feminist vampire flick starring two B movie genre … Continue reading

Come Play is often a surprisingly effective chiller when it’s not trying too hard to fill 96 minutes of screen time. The same guy wrote and directed it so he’s got some talent at filming creepy, scary individual scenes but … Continue reading
I was genuinely pleased (and surprised) at how effective a creepy little thriller What Lies Below turned out to be. I went in blind, just the cover art and a brief description to hint at things to come. And I … Continue reading
