Next up for the October 31 Movies-a-thon, is Booger. If you read my last post, you might remember that I scrolled through the offerings on a couple of streaming services looking for horror movies that I hadn’t heard of before that were directed by women. Now, that’s not super sustainable because I’ve heard of A … More Booger (2023) – REVIEW
At the time of writing this, Brandon Cronenberg’s Infinity Pool is on Hulu. If you – like me – find yourself endlessly scrolling through your queue and beyond looking for something that sounds right for your mood, maybe this will be the one that wins out some night. Is it right for your mood? Well, … More Infinity Pool (2023) – 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
Mexico Barbaro II (barbarous Mexico 2) is a horror anthology successor to Mexico Barbaro (also a horror anthology , but that’s probably obvious) And it played the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival. Which, I am covering remotely (because i am a shut in). As with the last MB, I will review each segment individually. Let’s get … More Mexico Barbaro II (2017) – REVIEW
I’m really cranking these Fantasia Int’l Film Fest reviews out! (by “cranking”, i mean that i’m way behind and scrambling to get movies watched and reviews written while also having a job and a family. what i’m saying is this: you’re welcome) Next up, Sequence Break! Let’s get into it, shall we? Oz (Os?) … More Sequence Break (2017) – REVIEW
Next up in my Fantasia Int’l Film Festival 2017 coverage lineup is Replace from German-born director, Norbert Keil. (i know “German-born” doesn’t really convey any relevant info, but it beefs this intro up a bit) Let’s get into it, shall we? Kira spends the night at her new boyfriend’s place and wakes up alone. … More Replace (2017) – REVIEW
I saw the trailer for Afflicted a long time ago. At the time, I wrote it off as another found footage, digital effects reel that I would get around to eventually. I figured it would be one of those movies that I wouldn’t necessarily hate, but I wouldn’t necessarily love either. So, I didn’t make … More Afflicted (2013) – REVIEW
Isaac Ezban’s entry in the Mexico Barbaro anthology was my least favorite by a long shot. It was misogynistic, predictable, unfunny, had poor creature effects, and it used an annoying beat-up-old film filter effect that added nothing to the story and distracted the viewer. So, when I heard his latest, The Similars (Los Parecidos), was … More The Similars (2016) – REVIEW
Next up in my Fantasia International Film Fest 2016 review spree – Shelley from director, Ali Abbasi. (i don’t know why i’m compelled to type the entire official Fantasia 2016 title. i guess i imagine that i have readers that aren’t familiar w/ it and they would be like, ‘they remade Disney’s Fantasia!?’, if i … More Shelley (2016) – REVIEW
Sticking with a body horror theme for this week, I got to thinking about some of the great (read: most disturbing) body horror films that may have slipped under the average (American) horror fan’s radar. Possibly because they didn’t get a wide release, didn’t get much buzz, featured subtitles (i know, i know, reading is … More In My Skin (2002) – REVIEW
