Prime Video came through tonight with the flick de jour. I feel like I went into this with preconceived notions but sitting here as the credits just rolled, I can’t really think of what they are. I don’t know if a part of me thought that this movie would be one of those really cheesy 80’s horror movies or if this was going to be more like House and completely …
I think what this movie really makes me confront is the fact that movies really have a mission they are beholden to based on their genre. There’s either success or failure in reaching this goal. A comedy either makes you laugh or it doesn’t. An action movie thrills you or it doesn’t. A horror movie scares you or it doesn’t. I would submit, however, that within both a success and …
As it stands I can firmly say I am genuinely not a fan of vampire movies. It’s just a subgenre in the world of horror that I’ve never really enjoyed. There’s really only one I enjoy and it’s Mel Brooks’ classic spoof, “Dracula: Dead and Loving It”. Everything about that movie is absolutely fantastic. If you were to consider it a horror comedy, it would be extremely light on the …
As a lifelong fan of Christopher Walken, I feel like at least the first installment of this series has always been on some list somewhere in my head that I needed to get around to watching this at some point. I wouldn’t say this one qualifies for a “WHAAT?? You haven’t seen that??” because it’s just not mainstream enough in my estimation that the masses would have caught this one …
I figured if I’m going to do one “WHAAT?? You haven’t seen that??” movie, why not make it two. And while there were definitely weird alien creatures in The Faculty, I don’t feel like I’ve really done a full fledged creature feature yet. There’ve been some pseudo-monsters that have popped up here and there but this is a horse of a different color. Or Alligator of a different color I …
If I tried to appeal for the mercy of the court with Barbarian, I have no business thinking this film doesn’t easily earn me a “WHAAAT?? You haven’t seen that??” by any means. This flick is from my high school heyday released back in 1998, my sophomore year. However, this is one of those movies that was not on the approved list at the time. Mom won out on this …
First of all, I’m wildly aware that I’m late to this party. No, this isn’t one of those “Whaaat? You haven’t seen that??” kind of movies. Barbarian came out last year but everybody went nuts for it. I remember being on TIkTok and everyone in the movie community, especially within the world of horror movies, was going nuts for this movie. It developed this shroud of mystery around it as …
I must say that this was certainly not a planned stop on my Octoberian adventure. This was more a product of circumstance. As a father of 2 I was looking for something I could count towards my progression of horror that was also safe for at least one of my children to watch with me. My youngest is notorious for “crapping out like an old fart” as my Uncle Greg …
After a lighthearted romp in a comedy horror cardboard labyrinth, I figured it was time to go with something far more traditional when it comes to spooky season. As I’ve perused the the Prime catalog a few times as of late I wanted to see what Hulu had to offer as they are typically very front facing with their endorsement of Halloween. Right on the homepage this 2023 entry was …
First and foremost I’m going to defend this selection as it falls in the category of Horror movies on Prime Video. I never really outlined what constitutes a “Horror” movie when I started this endeavor a few days ago which I suppose bears some resolution. As this isn’t really a terribly formal affair, I’m operating fairly loosely in all this. There probably won’t be a lot of conjecture as to …
