Is it right for your mood? Well, … More Infinity Pool (2023) – REVIEW
I was kind of surprised to find that Stopmotion was playing major theater chains in Chicago. I’d seen the trailer and thought for sure the film would have either a very small run (maybe at Alamo or Music Box) or go straight to streaming. It’s certainly a niche film. I don’t see it gaining any … More Stopmotion (2024) – REVIEW
Ya know… I keep coming back to this site sporadically and it’s kinda nice. I mean, I have surely lost the few followers I had and I feel zero pressure. It’s like a “there when I need it” outlet for discussing my hobby – watching horror movies. (is that a hobby? seems like a pretty … More The Deep House (2021) – REVIEW
43 (Bonus!) Don’t Kill It (2016) I read that this film is fast-paced and that’s exactly what I was looking for tonight. Were the internet strangers right? Mostly! The movie starts off strong with a string of brutal kills and then bogs down a little bit with story, but it’s back to the bloody action … More 31+ October Micro-Reviews
I’ve been “gone” for a long time. At first it was because I was telling myself that I was putting that energy into writing a short story. Well, that certainly got started. I wrote a couple of pages even. But then I remembered that writing is hard. Not hard hard, like driving a truck for … More Brightburn (2019) – Review
One last (late) full review from my coverage of Fantasia Int’l Film Festival 2018. It’s been a lot of fun to put my thoughts to the screen for you, dear reader. And I’m going out on a high note with The Witch in the Window, directed by half of the duo who directed YellowBrickRoad and … More The Witch in the Window (2018) – Review
Another great Fantasia Int’l Film Festival has come and gone. If you didn’t make it to Montreal this year to catch some of the genre programming, know that you’re not alone. I too missed out corporeally. But that’s an easier pill to swallow for me since I was able to cover the fest remotely via … More The Nightshifter (2018) – Review
Fantasia Int’l Film Festival is wrapping up but my reviews aren’t! Here’s one for the Japanese film, One Cut of the Dead. (Kamera o tomeru na) Read it why don’tcha? A single cut, 30(ish) minute film about a crew shooting a zombie film that is beset by real zombies is the jumping off point … More One Cut of the Dead (2017) – Review
More Fantasia Int’l Film Festival 2018 coverage! I know! It’s so much! I’m so generous! Check this shit out! (my review of Knuckleball) Henry’s mom and dad aren’t the model couple. It doesn’t seem like they like each other at all. Maybe that’s why dad is using this trip back to mom’s … More Knuckleball (2018) – Review
My Fantasia Int’l Film Fest 2018 reviews just keep on coming! Next up is the long-awaited 12th Puppet Master film (just kidding, it’s only been a year since last one), Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich. This film has gotten quite a bit of buzz. Probably because it stars some decent comedic actors – … More Puppetmaster: The Littlest Reich – REVIEW – Fantasia 2018
