The Doctor’s Diagnosis: C+ I’m pissed that critic Adam Ollinger used the line “Godzilla Minus Fun” because I had that line in my head since I saw this movie last week. Regardless, I’m joining him as one of very few people on the internet that don’t love this movie. I don’t hate it, but […]

The Doctor’s Diagnosis: B It’s taken 16 years, but Thanksgiving is here at last. Eli Roth made the fake trailer for Thanksgiving as one of the trailers that played in the middle of the 2007 movie Grindhouse and he’s finally gotten around to making the full movie. I’m happy to report that, while it […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: F I’ve never played a Five Nights at Freddy’s game, but, based on what I thought I knew about the games, I was looking forward to this movie. I thought that the gist of the games was that people were stuck in a Chuck E. Cheese knockoff and the animatronics came […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D- Last October, director David Gordon Green gave us one of the worst horror sequels ever made with Halloween Ends. This October, Green returns with another one of the worst horror sequels ever made with The Exorcist: Believer. If anything positive can come of this ridiculously misguided film, it’s my hope […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: B+ First, a brief tangent: Why is everyone pronouncing the title of this movie as “Saw Ex,” as in pronouncing the letter “X?” This is the tenth Saw movie, so pronounce it as “Saw Ten.” When Saw XI inevitably arrives, are we going to refer to it as “Saw Ex Eye?” […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D+ I feel like I review this movie five or six times a year. The feature film debut of Indian American director Bishal Dutta, It Lives Inside attempts to inject horror characters from Hindu and Buddhist mythologies into modern horror. That’s not a bad idea and could introduce a new slate […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D This is the ninth Conjuring universe movie and I think we’re at the point where we can all agree that this just needs to end. I’ve never been a big fan of this franchise, but the last few entries have made the earlier films look like downright masterpieces in comparison. […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D Insidious: The Red Door breaks the tradition of odd-numbered Insidious films being any good. Following the last two entries that serves as prequels to the original movie, The Red Door finally provides a sequel to Insidious: Chapter 2. However, Chapter 2, which was essentially an unnecessary and prolonged epilogue to […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: D- I’ve spent a lot of time ranting about my hatred of modern PG-13 horror movies in last few years. Despite my vehement dislike of these movies, I thought that I had become accustomed to this garbage. However, something about The Boogeyman broke my brain. I don’t know if it was […]
The Doctor’s Diagnosis: C+ I love the original Evil Dead trilogy and it’s a very unique trilogy for a couple of reasons. First, the tone varies wildly between films. The original The Evil Dead is a straight horror film, Evil Dead 2 is a horror comedy (and, by a slim margin, my favorite entry) […]
