I caught a special screening of Rob Zombie’s new movie 3 From Hell last night, special in the sense that it is only playing in theaters for three nights and it was the uncut, NC-17 version of the film. If you want to see it and haven’t done so already, you will have to […]
Rarely do I find myself in agreement with mainstream critics when it comes to horror films, but Us truly is one of the greatest and scariest horror films ever made. If you combine the sleazy grit of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre with the dark artistry of The Shining, you are getting close to how […]
A couple of points to start: 1. It’s very odd that I’ve seen back-to-back evil doll movies with Child’s Play and now the new Annabelle. 2. After watching this, I realize that I was far too harsh on the new Child’s Play. If revealing that nothing, not a goddamn thing, happens in this movie […]
The Prodigy is the latest evil kid horror flick, following in the tradition of films like The Omen and The Bad Seed. That’s not exactly a fair comparison because one of my favorite things about The Omen and The Bad Seed is that stuff actually happens in them. Actually, a better comparison might be […]
Around this time last year, I labelled Suspiria as the worst horror remake ever made. I didn’t intend that as some sort of challenge, but apparently that’s how the makers of Black Christmas interpreted it. This is the closest that I have ever come to walking out on a movie. Black Christmas is a […]
Brightburn is the best horror movie that I’ve seen in quite some time and it has an amazingly simple and obvious concept: What if Superman was not a virtuous hero, but rather a psychopathic killer? We would all be fucked. That’s what would happen. The plot is the Superman origin story. A spacecraft […]
This movie shouldn’t be called Child’s Play. Call it anything else. Hell, call it Blood Buddy, which was the original title of Child’s Play. This isn’t a bad movie. It’s a decent horror flick that I would likely give a moderately positive review if it was called something else. However, they decided to call […]
I heard that some sort of comic book movie came out this weekend, but first I’m here to tell you about this flaming bag of dogshit. Quick update, I saw Hellboy last week but I’ve had a very busy couple of weeks and didn’t have a chance to review it. Normally when that happens, […]
I was obsessed with Stephen King when I was a little kid and Pet Sematary was one of my favorite books. I read it when I was 7 or 8 years old, so I don’t remember it much beyond the broad strokes and that it was creepy and sad as hell. I have seen […]
Ready or Not is a freaking blast and easily one of my favorite movies of the year. That’s especially impressive considering that this kind of thing is hard to pull off. This is a thriller/comedy and that is a tough balance to strike; usually it devolves into just being a comedy with thriller elements. […]
