Alright I’m going to be up front about this one. This movie was not on my list. I hadn’t found it streaming somewhere and thought I should check it out. It came as a recommendation from a good friend of mine and I was happy to take it and run with it. And because that is the inspiration for this watch, I will say that my review of this experience …
This is a movie that falls under the heading of one I really didn’t have a pulse on at all. I may have seen the trailer in a mix of upcoming movies at one point. But the reality of how this ended up on my list was that I simply searched for horror movies released this year and last. I wanted to ensure I had enough contemporary fare in my …
To be fair, tonight’s selection was an audible. I don’t know what happened but when I was compiling my list of films to watch, I included the movie “The Descent” and attributed it’s streaming nature to Amazon Prime. So when I was perusing my list of films to watch, that one jumped out off the page at me and I went to go put it on. When I arrived at …
This movie is one of those ones that you kind of have to go down a rabbit hole to find. Last year, there weas an action film called “Sisu” that came out. It was set in Finland during the WWII era and featured Jorma Tommila as the titular character in the film. It was a wonderfully violent escapade into a ferocious elimination of some especially heinous Nazi forces. it was …
First and foremost, as this is a brand new movie I feel obligated to put a spoiler warning right up front. I’ll tell you right now that I have no idea what all I’m going to put down in my review of this one and I’m going to do my best to stay away from spoilers as best I can because it’s such a new movie. But it literally just …
I think one of the things that is helping to guide me through these 31 days is retrospective. It’s not the only factor but so far through this first week I feel like it’s been a big one. I don’t mean necessarily that it’s a bad thing either. Not that the notion of retrospective in general has a negative connotation. But I think even as I’m mentally unpacking the idea …
Right off the bat I have to confess that I had to purposefully put at least a few days between this movie and “Shocker”. Not because I thought they’d be the same movie but this film harkens back to that same style of cover box nostalgia I had for the Craven vehicle from a few days ago. I’m sure the electrified-esque shock of the the man on the artwork for …
One of the things about this undertaking is the timing to both watch a horror movie every day and then dedicate the time to do my little write up about it. I’m naturally a night owl and I’ve spent decades cannibalizing sleep for all manner of nonsense so most nights it’s not terribly difficult to select a movie, watch it, and then spend some time detailing my thoughts on the …
Back at it again. It’s the first Friday in October and I’m coming off the relative high from yesterday’s flick. I wanted to stick with something modern before I started going back through some of the other older fare that I marked off on my list. Once upon a time I had a practice of picking up discs from the Red Box that they sold for cheap. Most of the …
Today I wanted to be a little more intentional with trying to ensure I had something a little more modern and a different kind of scary. I wanted something that would build some real tension and not just throw jump scares at me or be a full on hot mess like my first two outings at this venture. So I went through my list of movies I had picked out …
