I had a lot of fun with Pumpkinhead 1. I always welcome more kids’ horror both out of nostalgia and for providing a gateway “drug” for kids to get interested in my favorite genre. The first one was “kids on bikes” style adventure that had the classic trope of kids handling things on their own … More R.L. Stine’s Pumpkinhead 2 (2026) – REVIEW
My experience with feature-length animated horror is pretty limited. I’ve seen Akira (it counts), Wicked City, Monster House, Paranorman, and Coraline but that is it. Writing them out kind of makes it seem like a lot, but considering I’ve seen dozens of hundreds of horror movies (probably not quite thousands), that is a minuscule percentage. … More From Inside (2008) – REVIEW
I heard nothing about this movie before seeing it recommended on Tubi. It was a good rec. I like Dev Patel. I like folk horror. So, why wouldn’t I like this movie? The trailer piqued my interest so I watched it. Now I’m writing about it! Let’s get into it, shall we? A couple who … More Rabbit Trap (2025) – REVIEW
Good Boy has been in my queue since it hit Shudder. I like Shudder. I like that there is a dedicated streaming service for horror fans. I like that they have quite a few classics and future classics to choose from. I don’t like the interface of the app on XBox or that they aren’t … More Good Boy (2025) – REVIEW
Alice, Sweet Alice has been on my radar for a very long time. I’d heard some very positive things about it from some horror fans whose opinions I respect. I don’t know why it took me years and years to get around to watching it. It may be partially because this is another film that … More Alice, Sweet Alice (1976) – REVIEW
Christophe Gans is no doubt a fan of the Silent Hill video games. He reportedly fought to secure the director position for the 2006 Silent Hill with Radha Mitchell and Sean Bean because he cared about the adaptation so much. Well, as we know, that movie didn’t do so great at the box office or … More Return to Silent Hill (2026) – REVIEW
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
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
Here’s another one that I knew nothing about before searching for my 28th film of 31 for this month. The description sounded promising and it stars established – and well-regarded – genre actor, Maika Monroe. That was enough to sell me on it, but then I learned that Chloe Okuna directed and co-wrote the film. … More Watcher (2022) – REVIEW
I first heard about Red Rooms on the r/Horror subreddit. Some folks there were praising the movie for how intense it is. And some folks in the comments didn’t like it. That’s typical for any Reddit thread of course. But the film kept coming up in the comments of “best of the year” and “most … More Red Rooms (2023) – REVIEW
