Someone in r/Horror said that they were impressed with the Tubi original film, Lowlifes. I didn’t think much of it at the time. I hadn’t really considered watching a Tubi original before this month while looking for my 19th movie to watch for the Watch 31 New-to-You Horror Films in October or Your Wife and … More Lowlifes (2024) -REVIEW
As you may know, I usually provide some personal story related to the film that I’m reviewing in these intros. They mostly fit into one of three categories: 1. I saw the trailer and it looked good. 2. I knew nothing about this before watching. 3. I was excited for this. Koko-di Koko-da fits into … More Koko-di Koko-da (2019) – REVIEW
My attention span was feeling pretty robust, so I chose the French language film, All the Gods in the Sky, as my 16th (of a projected 31) film of my October new-to-me horror movie at-home fest. I do love a lot of foreign language horror films, but I’m not always in the right frame of … More All the Gods in the Sky (2018) – REVIEW
While searching for 31 new-to-me films to watch this October, I realized that I was not up-to-date on my Mickey Keating. He is a rock solid indie horror filmmaker and I’ve liked everything I’ve seen by him. I was foolish to let his films slip by me before now. I’m obviously (i hope it’s obvious … More Invader (2024) – REVIEW
I am a pretty big fan of films that can blend horror and sci-fi. As much as I love horror movies, I don’t really read a lot of horror books. I do read a ton though. And about 95% of what I read is sci-fi. For some reason I feel that almost all horror can … More Vesper (2022) – REVIEW
If you read my Offseason review, you may recall that I said that I got it confused with another movie – Carnage Park – and thought that I had already seen it. Well, you’re not going to believe this, but I did it again! This time, the mix-up is probably more understandable. Rather than the … More Ghostwatch (1992) – REVIEW
Mickey Keating is a very competent indie horror director. I’ve seen all but one of his features (reviewed a couple too) and enjoyed them all. He has a good eye for setting tense scenes and his characters always feel authentic even when they are losing their minds. When choosing my 12th film for this year’s … More Offseason (2021) – REVIEW
Jay Baruchel is perhaps best known as the affable friend to Seth Rogen in This is the End or the voice of Hiccup in How to Train Your Dragon. But did you know that he directed a horror film called Random Acts of Violence? He did! And it’s my 11th (of 31) film of this … More Random Acts of Violence (2019) – REVIEW
There was some buzz about Starfish when it made the festival circuit. At the time, I made a mental note to check it out at some point. But then I didn’t. I can’t really explain why though. My usual excuse of, “it wasn’t on a streaming service that I already pay for,” doesn’t work because … More Starfish (2018) – REVIEW
Ted Geoghegan’s We Are Still Here is a great little family drama horror story. His Mohawk is an exciting period revenge story. I enjoyed both. When I first noticed Brooklyn 45 on Shudder, I didn’t even add it to my queue. I judged that idiomatic book by its cover. I thought that a séance ghost … More Brooklyn 45 (2023) – REVIEW
