Ok so as per usual I’m going sort of stream of consciousness here. Its not like this is a really formal venue for cinematic discussion as is. I may very well only be writing this for Ron and myself to read. But the exercise is still a valid one that I enjoy. I’m not sure what really prompted this. I know we were discussing Batmen the other day, and yes …
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 …
