88: Mastering ‘Psycho Goreman’ (PG for short…)

Just in time (sort of) for Halloween (but not really) it’s our second episode of the Spooktacular! Ok listen folks, we’re really trying here. This spooktacular isn’t over just because it’s full on Christmas season now either. If anything, we’ll just start in on the Silent Night, Deadly Night franchise if you make us. But this isn’t a trick. This episode is ALL treat. This gem, pun intended, was discovered …

31 Days of Horror: Vol. 2 – October 27th – “There’s Something in the Barn”

I’ve had a pretty ok run of relatively decent films for the last few days so I wanted to break up the serious tone by revisiting my favorite subgenre of spooky movies, the horror comedy. What better way to do that than by taking a festive, Christmasy trip to Norway with Martin Starr and his family in this instant classic “There’s Something in the Barn”. Ok, I may be overstating …

31 Days of Horror: Vol. 2 – October 26th – “Arcadian”

This is another one of those movies that wasn’t on any of the lists when I started this whole business of 31 days of Horror. Frankly I don’t even think I knew this movie existed at the start of this exercise. But in exploring some of the films I have recently like Longlegs and Mr. Harrigan’s Phone, I came to this crossroads that is “Arcadian”. To be perfectly honest, I …

31 Days of Horror: Vol. 2 – October 24th – “Oddity”

This movie is a late add due to the Shudder subscription on Amazon Prime. I went back and forth on it initially. After actually catching the trailer for it, I decided I should give it a chance. I didn’t want to drop down off the production high that Longlegs really presented. It was a quality, well made film and to transition off that into something like Attack of the Killer …

31 Days of Horror: Vol. 2 – October 22nd – “Mr. Harrigan’s Phone”

In reflecting on this movie, I keep coming back to the phrase “well composed” and I think it fits. I’ll admit that my initial pull towards this movie was Jaeden Martell. I’ve been a fan of his work as a child actor since I first saw him in the film “St. Vincent” with Bill Murray and Melissa McCarthy. He was very compelling as an actor at a very early age. …

31 Days of Horror: Vol. 2 – October 21st – “Jennifer’s Body”

I feel obligated that my opening line to this review should include that I don’t especially enjoy Megan Fox in any performance. This film is no exception. I think the reason this movie even made my list in the first place was that it seems like such a mainstream horror movie that I had no real perspective on up to this point. I was aware of it but I’d never …
