Pollen
This movie required the most suspension of disbelief of any movie I've ever seen. I don't know where to begin. It's a "workplace horror" about a badly picked-on and bullied…
Unholy Song
A weirdly sort of entertaining zero-budget flick about a bunch of low-rent people in northern California who, bear with me, play a cassette tape and accidentally free a witch who…
Fawn
They've got to stop making zero-budget first-person-shooter "found footage" crap about groups of 20-year-olds investigating some bullshit.
Puzzlehead
This is a low-budget indie movie that should have been way worse than it was. In a dystopian urban future that visually resembles our dystopian urban present, a scientist invents…
Dark House
This has got to be a student film, and by a not very skilled student filmmaker. Less than an hour long, and utterly aimless, with no production values or acting…
Antihuman
An very European art film, wherein people visiting an abandoned asylum talk endlessly about "serious" subjects over discordant music for two hours, occasionally interrupted by silent, admittedly visually gorgeous but…
The Quantum Terror
Bottom-of-the-barrel amateur-home-movie-level crap, but at least it tries to have a sci-fi angle. Or something. Basically these kids explore the sewer looking for a missing girl and encounter a bunch…
The Barge People
A new setting for a clichéd setup: a captivity/pursuit flick set in part in the long barges that travel the canals that criss-cross the English countryside. The villains are a…
Dead Night
Movies like this exactly are why I created a category "Je nais se quois/Flawed Gems". Definitely not a great movie, but certainly original, after a fashion, and ultimately, I thought,…
Anonymous 616
Have you ever seen the movie "Funny Games"? It might be my least favorite movie of all time: pointless brutality, and nothing more, presented as entertainment, as home invaders torture…
Spiral
Well, this movie put one over on me. Starts off with a bunch of guys having a reunion for a bachelor party in a fancy rental house, which logically promised…
Bleed With Me
Low key thriller about two women and one of their boyfriend on vacation in a cabin when the more high-strung of the two starts getting even more high-strung and having…
Pesadilla
I guess this is supposed to be some sort of indie neo-noir, because it starts with a robbery, and has people planning other robberies, and has people waving guns around…
Cupid’s Guillotine
Absolute garbage. Has the production values of a terrible zero-budget amateur horror combined with soap operatic melodrama. An engaged couple is lured into a haunted house attraction where the woman…
Fisher
Back in college, living out in the sticks, I used to occasionally listen to the local Christian rock station. Though the subject matter left me cold, I liked how the…
Possessing Piper Rose
Fairly unremarkable, vaguely Hollywood-y Supernatural Thriller Product. Rebecca Romijn adopts a young girl whose birth mother, deceased, wants her back.
June (2015)
A 9-year-old foster kid is shunted from home to home because she's possessed by some sort of nature spirit bent on cleansing humanity from the world, who causes all kinds…
The Hollow Child
Decent enough horror movie about a foster child whose little sister disappears into the woods and comes back acting in disturbing ways. The town madwoman claims the child is no…
Cannibal Mukbang
Well, this movie certainly turned out to be something much different, and much better, than I expected. That's not to say it was a *good* movie... it definitely doesn't aspire…
Evil Under The Skin
Porn-movie-level acting, writing and production values. Mother and daughter go to an Oregon lake for some bonding time and, basically, nothing happens. Mom gets headaches, daughter (played by a real…
Night Things
Boy, you have to give this home-movie-level, bottom-of-the-barrel amateur production credit for trying. They really tried *hard* to make a good movie. They had absolutely no idea how to, and…
Hosticide
A sexually frustrated middle-aged salesman who is obsessed with a coworker patronizes prostitutes and then kills them, all the while complaining to the viewer via his video diary. Gritty enough…
Jug Face
Southern supernatural drama/folk horror about a backwoods rural community that survives by making occasional human sacrifices to an alternately mud- and blood-filled pit that keeps them otherwise healthy in return,…
The Amityville Backrooms
This might be the most amateurish film I've ever seen. An utterly silly home-video-shot idea—I can't even call it a story, it's just an idea—about a realtor who suddenly gets…
The Buildout
I should have been tipped off by the fact that Tubi called this "Drama, Horror". Perhaps the least interesting movie I've ever seen. A young woman who has apparently joined…
One Day Like Rain
Low-key but slightly difficult-to-follow, slightly sci-fi-ish drama about a young woman in the suburbs playing with a chemistry set to invent some unspecified thing that is meant to help humanity…
Ladyworld
A somewhat artsy take on "Lord Of The Flies" in an isolated house full of eccentric young women, trapped there while attending a birthday party when an earthquake causes it…
Maggots
Kind of a fun D-grade zero-budget picture about a bunch of punk rockers camping in the woods when they get attacked by giant rubber maggots. Actually was kind of amusing…
Last Kind Words
A rather slow southern gothic about a young man with no discernable peronality who moves to woods haunted by the ghosts of people who have hung themselves from a specific…
The Nothing
I don't know what this movie is about because the first two minutes opened with the most egregious, clichéd first-person-shooter camerawork I've ever seen and I turned it off.
