When I’m covering festivals, I always engage in bit of internal debate over whether my intros should consist of my typical rambling blather or a more terse, straight to the point version for brevity’s sake. I’ve come down on the side of brevity more often than not because I’m lazy. Sorry if you came here … More Cold Skin (2018) – REVIEW – Fantasia 2018
Let me start this The Void review off with a highly politicized topic: global climate change. Yes, the nefarious “scientists” and “intelligent people” of the world used to call it global warming, but suddenly they want us to call it something different. Probably because they’re perpetrating some silver-tongued con game on the populace just to … More The Void (2017) – REVIEW
At this point, who hasn’t heard of the craziness that got The Evil Within to horror fans’ screens? A meth-addled “old money” heir. A Hollywood mansion turned into a studio. A 12+ year post-production period. All to get Andrew Getty’s nightmare vision to the screen. A feat that he didn’t quite realize before he died. Luckily … More The Evil Within (2017) – REVIEW
I knew 2 things about The Monster going into it. 1. It featured a monster of some sort. And 2. It had a bit of positive buzz on Twitter. I was eager to see it knowing that A24 was behind it (i guess that’s 3 things) because they put out some decent stuff. When it … More The Monster (2016) – REVIEW
“Have you seen Things?” A question that started the gears in motion that (maybe unsurprisingly) ended with me watching Things. Board game night at Wolfman‘s fell through, so he asked me the question. I hadn’t. Neither had he. But he did just buy a copy and he was free, so we put on our footie … More Things (1989) – REVIEW
There’s something in the V/H/S anthology franchise for everyone to love. If exploding cultists are your thing, the V/H/S’s have you covered. Same for lovers of haunted house exorcisms and Faustian magicians. Of course, loving (or sort of liking) a couple of segments was as good as it got for many viewers. As with most … More SiREN (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
Remember when we were all super-stoked on those guys from the Stan Winston effects studio making a practical effects-heavy creature feature called Harbinger Down. And they asked us super-stoked dudes and… (shit – dudettes sounds stupid, but i don’t know what female dudes are. just know, you’re included too, ladies) to pay for it? … More REVEIW – Harbinger Down (2015)
Thale is another movie that Netflix thought I would LOVE. Despite getting burned over-and-over, I still fall for that star system time and again. And Thale had an estimated rating of 4.4/5. How could I resist? The synopsis sounded interesting enough. You’ve got your crime/trauma scene cleaning crew, your Norwegian mythology, your “beautiful … More REVIEW – Thale (2012)
