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
Next up – Lifechanger. Another review in a long(ish) line of reviews of films showing at the Fantasia Int’l Film Festival. Enjoy! From the start it is clear that our protagonist isn’t the most moral of people. In fact, he may not be a “people” at all. See, he (we know it’s a he … More Lifechanger (2018) – REVIEW – Fantasia 2018
What’s this?! An American film in my Fantasia Int’l Film Festival 2018 reviews suite?! Well, I can hardly believe it myself. But it’s true. Cam is an American film and I’m about to review it riiiiiiiiiiggggggghhhhhhtttt-NOW! Alice is a “cam girl”. She performs under the name Lola and one of her greatest desires is … More Cam (2018) – REVIEW – Fantasia 2018
I’m finally moving on from French films in my Fantasia Int’l Film Festival 2018 reviews! (you’re welcome, francophobics!) My first non-French film review is for the Indonesian film, Satan’s Slaves (Pengabdi Setan). It has something for everyone! Ghosts, creepy wells, cultists, auto accidents, and more! Let’s get into it, shall we? Rini is the … More Satan’s Slaves (2017) – REVIEW – Fantasia 2018
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
