Also rented the other Covid-19 theatrical-to-streaming-early film that I hadn’t yet seen The Hunt. This is the flick that was scheduled for release last year but, after a couple shootings and conservative outrage over the premise (including the president), got … Continue reading
Checked out the new horror flick Color Out of Space based on the HP Lovecraft short story The Colour Out of Space. Rented it on iTunes but is probably streaming elsewhere too. This is not the first filmed version of … Continue reading
The new Invisible Man movie was released this weekend so I gave it a look. This is more-or-less a new movie in the stable of the Universal Monsters, a theoretical-but-not-really remake or reboot of the series. And possibly-but-not-really the latest … Continue reading

So the first January movie of 2020 is your typical toss-it-into-theaters-and-run low expectation horror movie The Grudge. This is (surprisingly) a sequel to the 2014 Sarah Michelle Gellar remake of the Japanese film Ju-On. And everyone is writing it off… … Continue reading
