Coming off of day 18 I really wanted to ensure I didn’t just plummet off the high of such a great movie like Jacob’s Ladder back into something dismal like the swill I’d been consuming for the days leading up to that. So tonight I figured playing it somewhat safe with a John Carpenter classic would be the way to go. I should be up front because there are two …
I don’t know if I decided on this one because the last couple nights have just been awful films or if it was just time to throw this one in the rotation but I’m very glad this was tonight’s film. This one is similar to The Prophecy as it’s been on that “To Watch” list for years and years now. The thing about it is it’s definitely one of those …
I think it probably stands to reason from the title of this movie that it’s not a good one. I can personally vouch for this. It’s a genuinely stupid and horrible movie. The problem I’m finding myself dealing with at the moment is how exactly to account for this. I don’t believe this movie necessarily intended to be a good movie and just missed the mark. It is listed as …
This one I think is going to be short and sweet. Or at least that’s how I’m approaching this one because I just don’t feel like I have a whole lot to say on the matter. I could get on a roll. I could tap into some sort of hidden reserve I have for this particular film but I’m not going to hold my breath as I just don’t think …
Once upon a time this would have been a movie I probably would have tried to see in theaters on opening night. There was a point in life where I was a ginormous zombie fan. I loved zombie movies and zombie video games. The first movie that really scared me as a kid was the George Romero classic “Night of the Living Dead”. Zombie culture had a significant place in …
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 …
