27 Ice Cream Man (1995) – Clint Howard witnessed the tragic killing of an ice cream man as a child and grows up to be a killer ice cream man (natch). Not very good but weirdly entertaining for how ineptly cobbled together it is. 26 Come to Daddy (2019) – Hipster softboy visits his estranged … More 31+ Micro-Reviews for October 2026
Primate came out and I immediately thought of Jordan Peele’s Nope and its killer ape b-plot. That was the best part of the movie really. Not that it was bad. It’s just that part was the most intense and memorable for me. I’m guessing that Johannes Roberts – director of 47 Meters Down and its … More Primate (2025) – REVIEW
Here’s another one that I knew nothing about until I saw it on Tubi. The description sounded interesting and it has both Chase Williamson and Lauren Ashley Carter in it. Sweet! I appreciate seeing those two in horror movies. Let’s get into it, shall we? Artik, a slow-talking beast of a man, and his wife … More Artik (2019) – REVIEW
Alice, Sweet Alice has been on my radar for a very long time. I’d heard some very positive things about it from some horror fans whose opinions I respect. I don’t know why it took me years and years to get around to watching it. It may be partially because this is another film that … More Alice, Sweet Alice (1976) – REVIEW
Backwoods killers is a robust subgenre that has been around for ages. Heck, my all-time favorite horror movie is a backwoods killer movie that’s over 50 years old – The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. (or Chain Saw if you want to be screen accurate) But for every TCSM we get 10 or 20 awful films like … More Dolly (2025) – REVIEW
I knew absolutely zero about Landlocked before last week. Someone in r/horror on Reddit recommended it as a unique horror (maybe they didn’t recommend it so much as say they watched it) so I checked out the trailer. The premise seemed very unique indeed and it seemed like it would be a good creeper that … More Landlocked (2021) – REVIEW
I’ve seen several Reddit posts asking for users’ “scariest” movie recommendations. It seems that every one of these posts will inevitably include Noroi: The Curse. For the longest time, I thought that I had already seen it and thought that it was pretty good but not terrifying or anything. So, when I stumbled across it … More Noroi: The Curse (2005) – REVIEW
Christophe Gans is no doubt a fan of the Silent Hill video games. He reportedly fought to secure the director position for the 2006 Silent Hill with Radha Mitchell and Sean Bean because he cared about the adaptation so much. Well, as we know, that movie didn’t do so great at the box office or … More Return to Silent Hill (2026) – REVIEW
I really liked Evil Dead (2013). It did a great job of taking up the mantle from the excellent Raimi films. It had everything I would want in a reboot – a cabin in the woods setting, a dumbass reading aloud from a cursed book, eerie sound effects/soundtrack, and a plucky protagonist. I even liked … More Evil Dead Burn (2026) – REVIEW
Jiri Barta is a Czech animator who has made quite a few short films and a couple of features. By all accounts, his adaptation of the classic fairytale, The Pied Piper, is his best. After seeing a trailer (well, more like a couple of clips strung together) for it from the boutique label, Deaf Crocodile, … More The Pied Piper (1986) – REVIEW
I largely ignored the Scanners-verse after Conenberg’s original. That one was pretty good. Not one of my favorites from the master of body horror, but definitely worth rewatching every few years or so. When I saw “David Cronenberg’s Scanner Cop” on the cover art (or poster or whatever), I wondered if the man really had … More Scanner Cop (1994) – REVIEW
