    As I mentioned in my write-up of the first House film, I wanted to see the sequel, and now realize what a mistake that was. This is not a good movie, to a point where I was barely paying attention during the second half. It leans even more in the comedy side of things than…

    Something I haven’t done so far as part of these October horror marathons is watch something animated, nevermind anime, and so I decided to look up a few things I could watch, and this came up. I do remember that this existed, with the reputation of being one of those “dark and dirty” animated films…

    I came across a mention of this film in a movie magazine recently (I think it was Empire), and it came recommended, and so I decided to check it out — it’s a Shudder original film. I ended up really enjoying this. At first there was sequences that I disliked because it felt like an…

    This came out back in 2015, but I had never heard of it — I came across it only because I was looking through lists of the better slasher movies to have come out in recent years (my wife was in the mood to watch one). I really enjoyed this for what it is, a…

    I finally got around to watching last year’s remake — after having rewatched the original not that long ago — and gotta say that I quite enjoyed it. I definitely like that they updated the premise by going with “rogue A.I.” as the reason for Chucky’s killing spree, instead of the supernatural happenings of the…

    I had completely forgotten about this movie since being excited by the trailer when it had its theatrical release, and it came to mind yesterday and so I watched it, and overall I quite enjoyed it. I will say that the most enjoyable part of the movie for me was the first half hour, before…

    I skipped watching this when I did my 1986 movie marathon (it didn’t even make the list of 40 movies I watched for that), and I can’t even remember if I ever watched it even back in the day — what I do remember is the VHS box at rental shops. In a piece I…

    As I mentioned after watching Halloween H20, I wanted to watch its direct sequel out of curiosity. The way they get out of Michael’s death in H20 is pretty ridiculous — and even more silly in that the producer forced the creators of H20 to develop this and put it in a contract while they…

    I got interested in re-watching this after reading an article about it in the latest issue of SFX magazine earlier today. Coming after a few sequels that got worse and worse, this was supposed to be a proper coda for the series, while bringing back Jaime Lee Curtis as well (although it’s a coda that…

    I didn’t really know much about this movie other than the setting sounded interesting (a small island in Thailand) and it stars Maggie Q, who I tend to like in movies. I ended up quite enjoying this — it’s horror, but it’s also a mystery, as the main character is trying to understand why strange…
