The Suffering
Appraiser visits wealthy old man's estate to appraise it and supernatural shit happens ("weird creepy visions and specters from the past" variety.) Meh.
Exhume
A couple of archeologists and their young daughter move to an abandoned penal camp for boys to search for a buried body, and supernatural shit happens (possession-and-talking-with-creepy-voices variety.) Pretty much…
Life Raft
This movie opens with a card that says, "This footage was found in a camera that washed up on a beach on Long Island". And that's all I know, because…
Homebound
Middling British suspense flick about a man bringing his new fiancee to meet the kids. The kids are acting strange, mom is nowhere to be seen, eventually things turn violent…
I Survived A Zombie Apocalypse
Reasonably entertaining horror-comedy (a genre I usually don't like) from New Zealand, in which the set of a zombie movie is attacked by real zombies. Sort of over-the-top and hammy,…
The Lost End
This ambitious indie flick is somewhere in the David Lynch, Guillermo Del Toro, Gaspar Noe triangle of "film is art" highly-stylized productions. A man whose wife and son disappear on…
Caught (2017)
Hmmm. Hmmmmmmmm. Hmmmm. What starts as a dreadfully slow, very British take on a home invasion/captivity flick a la "Funny Games"—something I'm immediately put off by—turns out, very slowly, to…
Night To Day
Some BS about a woman from a monster dimension who crosses over and wants to be human, or something. This movie had some of the worst acting I've ever seen.…
Extramundane
During the pandemic, a man takes over as property manager of a haunted Los Angeles building, which we know is haunted because people talk about it being haunted. There are…
Murmur
A bunch of social media influencers... You don't really need to know more about that plot than that, do you? It's another horror movie about social media influencers, which has…
Inkubus
A passably moment-by-moment entertaining but ultimately totally unrewarding 1408-style exercise in, "Ooh! I thought of another 'scary' thing we can have happen!" for 90 minutes. In this case, Robert Englund…
Perfect Skin
Hoooooooooooooooo. A european woman traveling in—not sure, Scotland?—is taken prisoner, tattooed, and subjected to extreme body modification in this captivity flick. Which, for the first half, is every bit as…
Rot
Woman's boyfriend goes turns evil and starts infecting people around him into acting violent after being possessed by some sort of giant penis monster. David Cronenberg did it better.
Hi Death
Perhaps the worst horror anthology film I've ever seen. A horror tour of Hollywood is the pretext for a 4 or 5 zero-budget, "hey guys let's make a movie!" sub-USA-Up-All-Nite…
Grey Agenda
One of those movies that seems like someone wrote a script in a couple of days, got a video camera and a bunch of their friends together to make a…
Discontinued
Fairly amusing indie flick in which a discontented slacker woman finds out (along with everyone else) that reality is a simulation and will end in a week. Reminded me of…
We Are Zombies
Aw, for the first two-thirds, this movie was fun! For a lot of its runtime, it's a funnier and better-done comedy than I'm used to seeing from a bunch of…
Adam & Eve (1983)
Absolute bottom-of-the-barrel crap from the final fading moments of the "Jason And The Argonauts"/"Seventh Voyage Of Sinbad"/"Clash Of The Titans" epic mythological fantasy era, although I feel bad besmirching the…
Blood (2023)
Entirely watchable supernatural thriller. Michelle Monaghan moves her family out to the country, where her young son is bit by a sick dog and subsequently develops an overwhelming thirst for…
When Everything’s Gone
A very boring survivor in a very boring post-pandemic world takes refugre with a father and her daughter at their rural home and nothing happens.
The Control
This stylistically incredibly Canadian sci-fi movie is unfortunately a swing and a miss. Basically, "Primer" but with virtual reality instead of time travel. In some sort of experiment that's too…
Our Man In LA
Kind of an interesting low-key sci-fi-adjacent thriller. A man who specializes in salvaging crashed UFO parts and selling them gets caught up in intrigue when a shadowy corporation wants one…
Smothered
This is a charming semi-spoof horror featuring a bunch of '80s horror actors playing themselves (Kane Hodder, cameo from Michael Berryman, plus Bill Moseley in a role obviously intended for…
A Halloween Feast
If John Waters made a horror movie, this would be it. Which is to say: absolutely terrible, but, if you're in the mood for ridiculously over-the-top camp, fits the bill…
The Thing On The Doorstep
This movie is really odd. I will say right off that most people probably won't like it. This is yet another in the apparently long string of oddly charming, super-low-budget…
#MissingCouple
A fairly dreadful first-person shooter involving all the very worst tropes of the genre: long stretches of people just living their lives, lead characters are inane and annoying social media…
Interlaced
Ok, here's another movie that I kind of liked that I'm 100% positive everybody else will hate. In fact, for about the first half, I really liked it, but it…
Attack Of The Unknown
In Los Angeles, a bunch of tough-as-nails cops, soldiers, and criminals who look like actors and models shoot guns at rubbery aliens with CGI tentacles, while CGI spaceships appear in…
Larva
Very decent paint-by-numbers monster/nature-run-amok movie, for a paint-by-numbers monster/nature-run-amok movie. New veterinarian comes to a small town where all the farmers have an arrangement to buy futuristic new feed from…
Don’t Look Deeper
This is weird. This was actually a pretty ok sci-fi movie, if a little teen-oriented, set in the near future when there are humanoid AIs in daily use but otherwise…
