I went in blind to Ozgood Perkins’ (Perkins’s?) Keeper for two reasons. 1. I knew it was from him so I knew I was going to see it and didn’t need any convincing from the marketing campaign. I’ve enjoyed all of his features up to this point. 2. I wanted absolutely zero spoilers. I know … More Keeper (2025) – REVIEW
The Terrifier films are divisive among horror fans (and the horror tourists who like them are insufferable). I happen to appreciate the gore effects and the creative kills. But I have a couple of issues with the first two. Namely that they were both poorly acted and the second was overlong (unnecessarily so since we’re … More Terrifier 3 (2024) – REVIEW
I did it, folks! Over 31 new-to-me horror films watched since Oct. 1st. This and 31 full reviews are just a couple of the perks of being unemployed! (laughter devolves into sobs) 44 Hell Hole (2024) – An American fracking operation in Serbia digs up a live man infected with an aggressive cephalopod-like parasite. I … More 31+ Micro-reviews for October 2025
I thought for sure that I’d reviewed one of the entries into the V/H/S franchise before. I guess not. Well, not really. I did a microreview last October that essentially boiled down to “didn’t love it”. I’ve seen all eight of the main anthologies and both of the spin-off films. The only real review I’ve … More V/H/S/Halloween (2025) – REVIEW
As we all know, anthology horror can be an extremely mixed bag. A single anthology can feature an amazing, top-tier short right alongside a worthless turd. A couple come to mind, but I’m not here to shit on specific titles. (looks like i need to put the breaks on my scatological references too! 2 refs … More Ghost Stories (2018) – Review
My penultimate review from my remote coverage of the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival is for Clementina, a film from Argentina by Jimena Monteoliva. I mention her, not because I expect you to know her work offhand, but because she shows the potential to be someone whose work you will know offhand. Let’s get into it, … More Clementina (2017) – REVIEW
The Fantasia Int’l Film Festival hits just keep on coming, folks! It was an impressive fest this year with several world and / or regional premieres from all over the world. I feel pretty lucky to have been given access to these fest films. So… you know – yay for me. Anyway, this is my … More House of the Disappeared (2017) – REVIEW
I’m not a huge fan of the Saw films. I saw the first one and the second one. I may have seen another one, but I’m not sure which. They are fine for a single viewing. Especially the first one. So, when I saw that Darren Bousman – director of Saws 2, 3, and … More Abattoir (2016) – REVIEW
The Autopsy of Jane Doe is certainly making a bit of a splash on the festival circuit this year. I’ve read some very positive things from some very reliable folks. And I thought director Andre Ovredal’s Trollhunter was a ton of fun. So, I was very interested in seeing it. Before we get too far into … More The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016) – REVIEW
This year, I was granted access to the Fantastic Fest online “screening room”. It was pretty sweet to be recognized as the heavyweight genre film blogger that I am. One of the available films was an Irish film called, A Dark Song. The description sounded pretty good so I watched a completely different Irish movie! … More The Hallow (2015) – REVIEW
