Evil Dead (2013 remake)
Well, there was literally nowhere to go but up from the original "Evil Dead", one of the very lamest horror movies ever made, the movie that invented the "Ooops, we…
Devil’s Diary
Canadian-produced TV movie about a pair of outcast girls who find a diary where you can write any wish and it will come true. Being Canadian, it couldn't be as…
5ive Girls
Terrible, USA-Up-All-Night-quality supernatural/possession flick about 5 gorgeous supposed delinquent woman at a secluded boarding school where the headmistress is up to satanic shit.
The Door (2014)
What a disappointment. This starts off with an interesting enough idea and fairly creepy execution. A kid saves a wealthy businessman from a mugging, and is rewarded with a job:…
Exquisite Corpse (2010)
I kinda liked this movie. In this modern-day parable of Frankenstein-meets-Hitchcock, a science research student is study reanimating dead mice—requiring hefty doses of chemicals extracted fatally from other living mice—when…
Incontrol
An ambitious sci-fi flick with a grasp that exceeds its reach. Student steal a machine that allows them to put their consciousness in other people's bodies in a poorly-explained way,…
In Fear
Pursuit/captivity flick, Irish style. Decently creepy for what it is—a pursuit flick with about a half-inch of plot—a couple gets lost on the way to a music festival in the…
Unhinged Retribution
Perhaps the most derivative slasher/psycho film I've ever seen. So derivative of Psycho that the bad guy is named "Norman". And the similarities only begin there. The one slightly memorable…
Dead Teenagers
I don't think I've ever wanted more to like a movie and been unable to. This movie starts off like a typical stupid teen b-movie slasher pic: a group of…
The Undead
Terrible movie. Just terrible. A family goes away to a cabin for the weekend and a mysterious stranger shows up, and an oddly threatening, leering yokel helps them when their…
Wintertide
I'm leaving this here just so I remember if I run across this again. This movie started slow, and I was having a hard night with other things, so for…
Hypochondriac
Very poorly-paced movie about a man slowly having a psychotic breakdown as a new relationship falls apart. Commits the cardinal sin of getting "arsty" maybe 2/3 of the way through,…
Shapeless
This movie doesn't appear to have a plot. A bulimic jazz singer sings "St. James Infirmary" and has bulimia. And that's it. Another scene, another rendition of "St. James Infirmary".…
Implented
Middling-to-ok near-future sci-fi flick about an experiment to implant people with AI chips, which take over their lives and force them to kill and sit up straight, you're slouching. I…
Postscript
Kind of a disappointment here. This anthology film showing stories of people wandering across a postapocalyptic wasteland, really just some hilly rural area, starts with a couple of incredibly cheap-looking…
House Of Darkness 2: New Blood
A woman whose husband mysteriously disappeared, her son, and her new fiancee move back to the fiancee's hometown and become embroiled in supernatural dealings so mediocre and forgettable that I…
House Of Darkness
A young family move into a new home in the country that harbors a dark force which makes the residents live through every horror movie cliche about what happens to…
The House
The word "turgid" was invented for this movie. A woman goes to stay in a friend's house and discovers it is inhabited by the trapped souls of people who died…
Presence (2022)
Well-produced by terribly written movie about a woman who goes on a yacht to make some sort of a business deal, she's having nightmares, people are getting killed in real…
Good Neighbours
A couple invites the strange new neighbors over to dinner, where they act strangely enough that anyone who's ever seen a movie can immediately guess that they're aliens in disguise.…
Apocalyptic 2077
As amateurish as it gets, seems like a couple of friends probably got together and made this jokey English tale about a guy who gets stuck in an underground bunker…
Hell’s Caretaker
Unlikeable douchebags gaver at a remote cabin in Vermont—with, get this, no cell service!—and the affable-seeming caretaker turns out to be a psycho and begins picking them off. Actually, for…
Evil At The Door
Ok. Hmmmmmm. The setup for this movie is dissuasive: Once a year, an ancient secret society "The Locusts" stages "Night Of The Locusts", where innocent people are set up for…
Impossible Horror
Two women hear mysterious screams at night and try to track them down, leading to involvement with other "scream hunters", many of whom have died suspicious deaths apparently at their…
Into The Gravel Pit
A couple of kids take an unnamed new drug and freak out in a difficult-to-understand nonlinear narrative. It seems like the director looked at some of the horrible real-life stories…
Summoners
Supernatural drama about a young woman into witchcraft returning to her childhood home to reunite with her former witchcraft partner and cast spells and stuff, and deal with past tragedies.…
Exorcism At 60,000 Feet
A horror-themed variant of those sub-"Airplane!" movies that are intentionally stupid, play to overly broad stereotypes, etc., such as the "joke" of having a child played by a full-grown dwarf,…
The Blue Rose
A visually beautiful film made by someone who obviously studied at the feet of Blue Velvet-era David Lynch in terms of cinematography, and succeeds well on that level, but is…
Evie
Dreadfully uneventful British "horror" movie with a lot of talk and almost no story. A girl finds a cursed necklace and her personality changes. Fast forward years and she and…
Red Earth
An interesting indie exercise, more artsy than I often like, but in this case it's effective—think more Tarkovsky than "Brooklyn hipster with a video recorder". There are a lot of…
