We’re almost 2 years into the US response to the coronavirus pandemic. Early on, I tweeted jokingly that we may as well get back to our blogs since, at the time, we were being asked to stay in our homes. We all had a good laugh about that (zero engagement/likes/retweets) and went back to doing … More Malignant (2021) – Review
I’ve been “gone” for a long time. At first it was because I was telling myself that I was putting that energy into writing a short story. Well, that certainly got started. I wrote a couple of pages even. But then I remembered that writing is hard. Not hard hard, like driving a truck for … More Brightburn (2019) – Review
Welp, I’m back for 2019, baby! (and the rest of you who prefer not to be called ‘baby’ by an internet stranger) If you didn’t notice I was gone, that’s fine. But I have the review bug again. Like the rhinovirus that I have but for writing about horror movies. Unlike rhinovirus, my review … More Mandy (2018) – Review
One last (late) full review from my coverage of Fantasia Int’l Film Festival 2018. It’s been a lot of fun to put my thoughts to the screen for you, dear reader. And I’m going out on a high note with The Witch in the Window, directed by half of the duo who directed YellowBrickRoad and … More The Witch in the Window (2018) – Review
Another great Fantasia Int’l Film Festival has come and gone. If you didn’t make it to Montreal this year to catch some of the genre programming, know that you’re not alone. I too missed out corporeally. But that’s an easier pill to swallow for me since I was able to cover the fest remotely via … More The Nightshifter (2018) – Review
Fantasia Int’l Film Festival is wrapping up but my reviews aren’t! Here’s one for the Japanese film, One Cut of the Dead. (Kamera o tomeru na) Read it why don’tcha? A single cut, 30(ish) minute film about a crew shooting a zombie film that is beset by real zombies is the jumping off point … More One Cut of the Dead (2017) – Review
More Fantasia Int’l Film Festival 2018 coverage! I know! It’s so much! I’m so generous! Check this shit out! (my review of Knuckleball) Henry’s mom and dad aren’t the model couple. It doesn’t seem like they like each other at all. Maybe that’s why dad is using this trip back to mom’s … More Knuckleball (2018) – Review
I’m continuing my coverage of Fantasia Int’l Film Festival 2018 with the Swiss coming of age film, Blue My Mind. Enough chit – chat. Let’s get into it! Mia is 15. She’s starting at a new school and she’s eager to get in with the cool kids. After a rocky start, they accept her … More Blue My Mind (2017) – Review
My Fantasia Int’l Film Fest 2018 reviews just keep on coming! Next up is the long-awaited 12th Puppet Master film (just kidding, it’s only been a year since last one), Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich. This film has gotten quite a bit of buzz. Probably because it stars some decent comedic actors – … More Puppetmaster: The Littlest Reich – REVIEW – Fantasia 2018
Next up – Lifechanger. Another review in a long(ish) line of reviews of films showing at the Fantasia Int’l Film Festival. Enjoy! From the start it is clear that our protagonist isn’t the most moral of people. In fact, he may not be a “people” at all. See, he (we know it’s a he … More Lifechanger (2018) – REVIEW – Fantasia 2018
