You may be wondering where I’ve been. (hopefully somebody cares enough!) Well, I’ve been on vacation. Literally. I left my home, traveled to a distant land, and now I’m in the southern tip of Texas looking at birds and wildlife every day. (what, you thought horror movies were my only pasttime?) I’ll be back … More RAMBLING – Winter Break (2015)
No Real Danger is a small operation, folks. It’s just me, good ol’ Jason Danger (so far). I started this site because I love horror and I wanted an outlet for my thoughts on films and whatnot. I try to report honestly with an emphasis on the positive aspects of my subjects. And, obviously, there’s … More Indigenous (2015) – REVIEW
Writing about the After Dark Horrorfest got me thinking about The Abandoned. It was part of the After Dark Horror Fest first year lineup of films. In fact, it was the first ADHF movie I saw. It set the bar unrealistically high for the “8 Films to Die For” program (now the official title of … More The Abandoned (2006) – REVIEW
Hidden (aka Skjult) is part of the “After Dark Horrorfest” (i’m going to call this ADHF, if you don’t mind) line of films – long defunct but resurrected this year as “8 Films to Die For” (previously, the tagline for ADHF). Hidden was in the lineup in the fourth year of this noble effort. Why … More Hidden (2009) – REVIEW
Two things: 1. New post category! Who knows how far I can take it! Labor Day horror? MLK Day horror?! The world is my oyster! 2. I do know that everybody is doing a Christmas horror list/post. I’m doing this anyway because I can only take so many “Did you see that NPR article about … More SEASONAL – Christmas Horror
You might be thinking, “What’s this shit, Danger?” You’re wondering why I’d ramble about Return to Oz, a kids’ movie from 1985. A Disney movie no less! Well, I’m going to make a case for categorizing this movie as a horror film. “A horror film?!” you sputter. (i have a weird image of my … More RAMBLING – Return to Oz (1985)
It may seem odd that I’m reviewing Rest Stop right now since it’s a decade old. Should it be in my “underappreciated” category? Maybe. But I hesitate to label it that because it’s not super great (that’s not the final cut by the way. keep reading please). I’m only reviewing it because it’s … More REVIEW – Rest Stop (2006)
Before Krampus, Michael Dougherty directed a very fun horror anthology called Trick ‘r Treat (2007? it’s been that long?!) It was irreverent, scary, and fun (i know, i already said that). And it was a loving tribute to our favorite holiday, Halloween. The most wonderful time of the year. A time when theaters are showing classic and … More REVIEW – Krampus (2015)
I’ve seen a lot of weird Japanese films. It seems that that Japan has their own genre of films that variously feature spraying blood, brutal beatings, intense bullying, rape, incest, gore, misogyny, copious amounts of smoking, pedophilia, characters who laugh at inappropriate times, and schoolgirl panties. Rarely, do the films feature even half of … More The World of Kanako (2015) – REVIEW
