The Decedent
Found-footage crap about a gorgeous mortician who works on the body of serial killer and is possessed by the entity that made him kill and spends the rest of the…
Debbie Does Demons
I think this is a softcore porno that somehow wound up on Tubi. Some sort of horror-themed nonsense about a ouija board summoning a 300-year-old witch is a pretext for…
Alice and the Vampire Queen
Hokey C-grade but fun flick that plays like a forgotten vampire TV show pilot. A gorgeous ex-con, down on her luck, gets hired as a chef for private club catering…
Lillith
This is one of the best awful movies I've ever seen. A jilted college student summons a succubus to get revenge on her ex-boyfriend, and then can't stop her from…
Lifechanger
Not-as-bad-as-it-should be little indie horror with a fairly original premise: with no explanation, just a statement that it is so, a shapeshifting serial killer must repeatedly kill people and assuming…
Interlopers
High-concept British zombie film takes a talky, philosophical approach with the idea that a "zombie virus" infeecting people is actually elevating them to "second generation" life forms, with a desire…
Spider-Man — Homecoming
It's a Marvel superhero movie.That generally says it all, in my experience. Somehow these big Marvel superhero movies remind me of Michael Jackson's adult career: get a bunch of big-name…
Brightburn
Paint-by-numbers horror flick about a couple raising a young boy who turns out to have horrible powers.
Lookout
Nothing special, but a somewhat fun little indie sci-fi/horror flick about a gorgeous ranger stationed alone at a remote fire lookout tower for a month when otherworldly things start happening.
Fragment (2024)
A gorgeous programmer living in a remote desert home with her husband begins to hallucinate creepy things. Then there's some sort of satanic ritual, and then we see her absolutely…
Paul Blart, Mall Cop
This is not a very good movie, but, I will say, it's about ten times better than I expected it to be. I never like Kevin James nor the track…
The Morning Show (series)
Decent drama about the politics behind a morning news show and the network that puts it on. It's not top-flight entertainment like "The Larry Sanders Show", nor is it a…
Threads
Truly harrowing story about the buildup to and aftermath of a nuclear strike on Sheffield, England, following the intertwined lives of several people caught in the attack. This unflinchingly grim…
The Days Ahead
Decent anthology film showing three stories about survivors after a nuclear strike in modern-day England. It ain't "Threads" (an amazing movie I have somehow, incomprehensibly, not reviewed) but it was…
The Grey
Tough-as-nails Liam Neeson Liam Neesons around, this time around the Alaskan wilderness as the tough-as-nails leader of a band of tough-as-nails Alaskan workers stranded after a plane crash. Hunted by…
Severance (series, season 2)
Quirky conspiracy-style sci-fi thriller about employees of a company who are psychologically "severed" so their lives outside of and at work have no knowledge of each other. The first season…
You, Me and the Apocalypse (series)
Kind of an offbeat British/American comedy about an eclectic assortment of characters who become involved with each other in the days before humanity is due to be wiped out by…
The Fix
Alright sci-fi action thriller about a spectacularly gorgeous model (Grace Van Dien, great-granddaughter of Robert Mitchum) who ingests an experimental drug, intended to protect humanity from the increasingly toxic atmosphere,…
Life Cycle
A programmer living in isolation invents an artificially intelligent and thoroughly fake-looking but oddly expressive (thanks to some skilled puppetry) head, and charges it to learn to humanize itself. It…
Tin Can
Weirdly OK sci fi flick. In pandemic times, a scientist wakes up imprisoned in a life support unit, and spends the movie wandering a medical-facility-cum-military-installation, uncovering the truth about what's…
Hackers
I really wanted to like this movie. This was recommended to me by a few people in Indieweb when it was October '25 movie of the month for their Indieweb…
From Beyond
Scientist invents a machine that lets him see extradimensional creatures, and it turns out, let them see him. Another cheezy attempt at Lovecraft, this time with way more '80s fashions…
Undateable (series)
As hackneyed and unfunny as a sitcom can be. Chris D'Elia, who, despite whatever else may be said about him, is at least often a funny actor, is absolutely wasted…
American Gods (series, season 1)
Gritty fantasy show based on a Nail Gaiman about ancient gods fighting it out in modern-day American with the "new gods" of commercialism and technology. A very strong start to…
Spun
Gritty (for Hollywood) tale of a day in the life of speed freaks. I suppose this movie is alright. Despite being cast full of actors I don't like much (Jason…
Magellan
Another in a long line of "first contact" films that owe a debt to "2001: A Space Odyssey", but a decent entry in the arena. A lone astronaut on a…
Mr. Earth
Swing and a miss. A random man is picked to represent Earth before a tribunal of aliens evaluating whether to destroy it. Better-made than I expected, but, the first half…
Jules
Odd, fun little sci-fi/light comedy about an alien landing in an old man's flower garden in Pennsyvania. Ben Kingsley, Jane Curtin, and Harriet Sansom Harris, still a heavy hitter in…
