The Final Wish
Okay-ish supernatural thriller about a guy who inherits a box inhabited by a demon that makes every wish come true in the most horrible way possible. Supposedly from someone who…
After Effects
Mediocre horror thriller about students signing up for what they think is a medical study but turns out to be a government bioweapon development program to turn people into either…
Walter
Starts out a cute, quirky-but-not-unbearably-so comedy about a geeky small-town movie theater ticket taker who may or may not be the son of God and have the ability to decide…
C.L.E.A.N.
Tough to follow the plot of this one but five people arrive at some sort of institute in the Croatian countryside and are tormented in this highly mannered, extremely Europeans…
Booger
In between interminable references to "The Pina Colada Song" for some reason, a Brooklyn hipster gets bit by a cat (named "Booger"), and behaves like she is turning onto a…
Hostile Dimensions
This films is difficult to know what to do with. By all rights, it should suck. Zero budget, not very good acting, plotting that seems rather arbitrary, and, worst of…
Creep Box
Very dull sci fi movie about a box that uses AI to let people talk to simulations of dead people, and scientists who go around using it. If there was…
Hallucinations (2021)
Originally posted on IMDB. Note to aspiring filmmakers: there are two things you are not. The first is David Lynch. The second, and this needs to be said far less…
Quantum Suicide
Hard, very talky sci fi film, something having to do with a quantum mechanics experiement. Tough to follow, very dry, kind of seems to disappear up it's own ass á…
The Visit
M. Night Shyamalan rarely hits the nail square on the head, and here he doesn't either. His half-hearted venture into annoying "found footage" horror has two kids (and, conveniently, budding…
A Man Goes On A Killing Spree
Does what it says on the tin. Or, would, if the title was "A Man Goes On a Killing Spree For No Reason, In Between Much-Too-Long, Scenes Of Wooden Actors…
The Quiet Earth
Kind of an enjoyable New Zealand sci-fi flick which, from 1985, may be the latest example I know of of that slightly campy but good, character-driven 1970s-type movie making. A…
God Of Pain (aka Algea: God Of Pain)
A truly shitty excursion in which wooden actors are shown committing murders, and then appear before a man in a plaster mask who announces himself as "The God Of Pain"…
The Overnight
Young couple stranded at a hotel where dead people roam and apparently the owners are trying to kill guests to bring back departed loved ones. If you started with the…
Awoken
Starts as a reasonably creepy tale of strange doings in a medical facility researching sleep disorders, but regrettably descends into a paint-by-numbers demonic possession movie for the third act. Candles,…
Excision
Boy, this movie really makes kind of an impression. Annalynne McCord, last seen looking like a glamor-model-turned-actress in 90210, plays, in what is only the first of this movie's many…
The Harbinger
This was ok. During the pandemic, a woman goes to visit a friend who has been having intense nightmares, and they turn out to be contagious. It gets into some…
Texas Tall Tales
Don't know the plot because I turned it off less than 20 minutes into it. Porn-movie-quality acting tells me all I need to know. Not interested.
What The Waters Left Behind: Scars
In this contender for most awkwardly-titled movie ever, an anglo-American band takes a wrong turn in a small Latin American village and finds themselves lost in an uninspired torture porn…
Incubus: New Beginnings
I notice a lot of truly abysmal, home-movie-level crap comes from this company "ITN". This is more of that. There's an incubus, he looks like the Brawny paper towel man,…
The Final Scream
Torture porn without much torture. A young actress is lured out to a remote house to be cast in a horror movie. It's not a movie. Yawn.
Chatterbox (2022)
The most clichéd, unimaginative slasher pic I've ever seen. This is like if AI wrote a slasher pic. Six friends but a remote fixer-upper in the English countryside where there…
The Frame
This is an interesting one. It takes so long to get where it's going, but is so passably adequate even before it's gotten there, that by the time it does…
OMG… We’re In A Horror Movie
This is one of those really bad movies that kind of feels like a group of friends got together and made a movie, but in this case, every single one…
The Radleys
Pretty decent English modern-vampire-movie-played-almost-as-drama a lá "The Hamiltons". This was pretty decent though. Modern English vampire family deals with internal politics and trying to survive without being found out in…
#Float
Continuing the tradition of teen scream horror movies about "influencers" being terrible, this terrible teen scream horror movie is about an influencer who takes a tubing trip with a bunch…
Alone With You
An indie, hipster version of "1408". Woman trapped alone in her Brooklyn apartment has a bunch of surreal, random "scary" things happen to her, and it's all supposed to mean…
Trapped Inn
A highly mediocre movie that descends into a disjoined mess as the filmmakers apparently changed their minds three or four times about what they wanted it to be. A team…
Paperhouse
English 1988 kid's fantasy film about an girl who connects with a local disabled boy through her fantasies of visiting a creepy, surreal rural house. It was alright, I suppose,…
The Hole
A disappointing outing from Joe Dante. As a horror movie, it's on the level of his "Gremlins" but without any of the originality and charm. Two teen boys and the…
