Like A Bat Outta Hell
Mildly interesting flick about a team of filmmakers and a crusty, tough-as-nails australian dude being menaced by a giant humanoid bat in the outback. Australian enough to be somwhat entertaining,…
The Last Light
Well-made but rather disappointing quasi-"thriller" (because it's not thrilling) coasts along like it's going to be interesting, and never gets there. Survivors of an unspecified apocalyptic event cower in the…
The Butcher
Tediously unoriginal and predictable captivity/pursuit flick: kids on a road trip, flat tire, remote farmhouse, psycho local family, you know the drill. Why would anybody bother to make this movie…
Beware
Boy, if I was only going to watch one slasher flick in my life—and one is probably about my lifetime appetite for slasher flicks—this one might be it. Kids on…
Staunton Hill

Bluejay (2016)

Silent Panic
Surprisingly decent zero-budget indie drama that starts like it's going to be a crap thriller but slowly and smoothly transitions to something quieter and more thoughtful. Three friends' relationships with…
Blame (2021)
Five kids run out of gas in a snorwstorm and take shelter in an empty building, and things fall apart after one turns up dead. Thriller plays like a horror…

The lame, derivative captivity flick id Rob Zombie's debut feature, and the only things worse than a piece of garbage: a piece of garbage that tries to make up for…

Trust
A young Liana Liberato punches way above her weight in a heavy but decent family drama about the emotional fallout on her family from her abuse by a predator. Probably…
No Such Thing As Monsters
Captivity flick. A couple camping at remote campsite in the Australian woods are unexpectedly joined by a van full of fairly typical Australian women and have what I imagine to…
The Circle
One of those movies where a non-"blockbuster" movies manages to get a bunch of big stars—Emma Watson, Glenne Headley, Tom Hanks, Fielding Mellish, er, Patton Oswalt, Karen Gillan—and it really…
Colossal
Anne Hathaway in a middle-of-the-road lost-twentysomething-returns-to-her-hometown-to-find-herself-and-gets-involved-with-old-friends-but-things-are-different-picture, except, this hometown happens to have a magic playground where anybody who is in it at a certain time of day has a gigantic…

Strictly sub-"USA Up All Nite"-quality garbage splatstick "horror comedy" garbage about an assortment of cardboard-cutout cliche characters stuck in a cabin while an amoeba from space infects people outside, turning…
Awake (2023)
This is a flawed but not bad movie. What starts seeming like a horror movie becomes more of a small-scale postapocalyptic, but not at all scary or supernatural, survival drama.…
All Eyes
This is a fun movie, in its way. I actually watched it twice because I forgot to review it the first time, but once I realized I recognized it, I…
Awake In The Woods
Bottom-of-the-barrel mockumentary about people who have been driven insane after disappearing in the woods for a while. I'd say the acting is the worst acting I've ever seen but that…
