A while back, I saw the trailer for Summer of Blood. It looked like a funny, goofy vampire movie. It seemed like director/writer/star, Onur Tukel, would be playing a parody of Tim Heidecker’s character from The Comedy – an unambitious New Yorker. And he would be a vampire. My interest was piqued. I put it … More REVIEW – Summer of Blood (2014)
Let’s get that question mark up there out of the way, shall we. IMDB, which I’ve long considered the film info bible, has two entries for The Houses October Built. One is listed as a 2011 film and one a 2014 film. Both have the same stars, director, writers, and whatnot. 2011 has an additional … More The Houses October Built (2014?)- REVIEW
After reading The Wolfman’s awesome list of Netflix horror picks, I decided to make a point of watching the two films that I hadn’t seen yet – Honeymoon and The Houses October Built. I may not trust him personally (why’s he always hiding his face?), but I do trust that guy’s film recs. I watched … More Honeymoon (2014) – REVIEW
The Rasmussen Brothers, Michael and Shawn, are best known for writing John Carpenter’s The Ward – a film that has been collecting virtual dust in my Netflix queue for a very long time. (I’ll get around to it…eventually.) Descriptions for The Ward mention a ghost. Apparently, ghost stories are the Rasmussen’s forte (which, I’m told … More REVIEW – The Inhabitants (2015)
Ritual is a relationship drama tucked into a occult sacrifice horror/thriller. Its director, Mickey Keating, has become something of a horror media darling (nailed it!) since the premiere of his film, Darling, at Fantastic Fest 2015. This earlier film offers a glimpse into the talent that would go on to make Darling (which, I have … More Ritual (2013) – REVIEW
Rec 4: Apocalypse further builds upon the story of a strange zombie-like outbreak in Spain that started in a small apartment building (see: Rec 1: The Rec-koning and Rec 2: Call the Pope) and fucked up a wedding (Rec 3: The Wedding One). (I made those names up, but you probably thought they were legit. … More REVIEW – Rec 4: Apocalypse (2014)
Creep is a found footage film. I thought I should get that out of the way right off the bat. Love it or hate it, it seems like it’s here to stay. I could write a post or three just about found footage – why it’s used, when it’s done right, and how it goes … More Creep (2014) – REVIEW
(Demon’s director, Marcin Wrona, died just as the film was set to debut in the U.S. I guess that’s just FYI, but I thought I should mention it.) Demon is a Polish ghost/possession film (though I’ve read that it may be associated with Israel too?) directed by the late Marcin Wrona, who previously directed The … More Demon (2015) – REVIEW
Deathgasm hits a high note (get it?) right from the opening credits. As metal assaults the viewer’s ears, the screen is covered in metal and mayhem themed doodles that animate gruesomely and/or hilariously. The little dude who shits out his own entrails is particularly gruesome/hilarious. As soon as I saw that, I texted The Wolfman … More REVIEW – Deathgasm (2015)
Whenever I can, I like to go into a movie blind, knowing little to nothing about it. That’s how I went into Goodnight Mommy. The only thing I knew about it was that I’d read some positive tweets about it and that it is Australian. It turns out that I only knew half of what … More Goodnight Mommy (2014) – REVIEW
