Ok we are in the home stretch now. Only a couple more days until we get to the end of this exercise and put another Halloween season behind us. I did go back to the list tonight and Netflix has really been delivering while my list is dwindling so I decided to fire up this 2021 horror flick. The cover art was on point and I even decided to check …

I’m clearly getting down to the end of this year’s run. It’s been a lot of fun and I still have a bunch of titles on my list that I put on there over a month ago. Even a quick look at my notes and I’ve got 15 movies I didn’t end up getting to in this go around. I’ve got a fair number of question marks next to titles …

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 …

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 …

One of the things I tried to work into my 31 days last year were horror adjacent movies as well. It’s all under the same umbrella but sometimes I like to shake it up a little bit. In this instance it meant changing up the direction we’ve been heading and take a little bit of a different look at the horror genre as a whole. So when I came across …

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 …

This is the one. This is the big one they’ve been hyping up this year. It has that aroma of “Barbarian” but I decided I’d give this one a try. And I had to go all in. I had to buy this one to watch it. I can’t do the digital rental. I knew going in that if I was going to watch this one I needed to take the …

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. …

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 …

It feels a little heavy handed to call this flick an audible. The truth is, it just wasn’t on my list. One of the things about many of the streaming platforms is their layout is not conducive to prolonged searching. It seems as though what they like to do is try and get you into a comfortable program as quickly as possible so their timers get started so they’re tracking …
