Well, my efforts to watch OnlyFangs earlier was thwarted by the fact that it isn’t finished yet, so I chose this earlier film by the same director, featuring a lot of the same cast. This one is super low budget and it shows, It doesn’t have the same charm as a Troma film, but it’s Read more

Nic Cage and his sons are surviving in this post apocalyptic movie where monsters who come out at night. Some bad stuff happens that disrupts their survival routine and they have to fight monsters. This movie is bad. It tried to take itself seriously and then has the worst designed monsters I’ve ever seen. They’re Read more

After my double feature of Infested and Sting as put on hold because “the dog dies” is both (and I’m really not up for that right now), I pivoted and watched this unknown horror action movie from the 90s and Boy is it from the 90s! Brad Doriff is a crazy hacker man working for Read more

A modern (kinda) take on Frankenstein where a loser girl gets empowered by the resurrection of a guy from the 1800s, and it makes her break bad. This movie showed me two things: Movies set in the 80s by people that didn’t live in the 80s feel like a cartoon and Diablo Cody is a Read more

I decided to put this one on the list this year because I had never seen it and (spoiler) tomorrow I’m watching Lisa Frankenstein and it’s supposedly in the same “Diablo Cody-verse” (or just “Codyverse”, I guess). I liked it a lot. It’s a solid demon possession movie with some great creative scenes and a Read more

Brought to you by the same family of indie horror filmmakers that did Hellbender that I reviewed last year (or maybe 2022). Hell Hole takes place in Serbia, where a fracking company finds something really weird buried in the ground, a seemingly living French soldier from the 1800s. Soon enough, there’s a monster making people Read more

I thought this was going to be a pretty straightforward Werewolf movie, and in a lot of ways it really is. At it’s heart though, it’s an intimate story of a family with some very heavy problems told through the eyes of a small girl. One of the problems is the fact that her dad Read more

After hearing the first few minutes of Aaron AuBuchon’s podcast about this (and it’s trilogy), I decided to stop the podcast and watch this one today. This feels like a Japanese take on a Hammer film, which isn’t a bad thing. It’s well made, well paced, has some really creepy visuals and characters. Also, I Read more

A pair of school kids get kidnapped from an arcade, one of them escapes the trunk where she’s being held, then stalks around the house trying to free the other. There’s probably 10 lines of dialogue in the whole film, and the whole thing is very tense. The lead actress is a 13 year old Read more

Very dark and Scandinavian, this movie is about a small family living on the edge of a bog where people keep trying to kill them. There’s more to the story, of course, and eventually the main character (a woman living with her parents and daughter) figures out there’s something to do with local folklore. It’s Read more
