Matthew McUumellmahaye stars as a Florida fishing charter captain in a neo-noir crime thriller with a sci-fi twist that plays like a modern episode of The Twilight Zone. A little…

In The Electric Mist
A Clockwork Shining: Kubrick’s Odyssey 3
Let me save you the trouble: The Shining was Kubrick trying to send a coded message full of symbols to tell us that the MK Ultra project was being used…
The Stuff
Super-campy, painfully 80s cult "horror" movie, apparently for kids, about a boy who discovers the popular desert everyone is becoming addicted to is alive and taking over. Honestly kind of…
Red Static Rising
An apparent home movie where two girls who clearly aren't actresses walk into an empty house and begin writhing and emoting. I lasted about 15 minutes.
Something Walks In The Woods
Here's something that's never happened before: a movie so disappointing it made me angry. A man goes to spend the night in the woods after catching a hazy apparition on…
3 Tunnels 2 Hell (aka “Serenity Farm”)
Cheapo flick about a man who acts like a bad actor who inherits a farm on an island in Washington populated by other people who act like bad actors (except…
Life Itself
Decent documentary on Roger Ebert and "At The Movies", by a friend of his. I've always liked Ebert as a critic, this sheds some light on him as a person.…
Skit
Godawful home-movie-quality "mockumentary" about a bunch of cringily inane college students in 2007 who decide to make a YouTube video, as if that's some sort of event, with not a…
Belushi’s Toilet
This odd little sci-fi/not-very-funny black comedy has a certain appeal until it eventually collapses under its own weight. In the near future when all drugs have been made legal, a…
The Mist
I have an odd affection for this atrocious Stephen King adaptation about a strange mist that brings a plague of monsters to a Maine town. Sadly, King adaptations seem to…
An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn
Just putting here because I forgot to review it and it's a touchstone for a certain variety of film that I find so worthless I can't imagine why they were…
Parasomnia
Wow. The ultimate "A+ for effort" horror/fantasy flick. Fails, but what an effort! In terms of plot, if it matters, a temporary resident of a mental institution falls for the…
Wentworth (series)
Australian for "OITNB". Womens' prison drama plays it fairly straight and gritty, doesn't have OITNB's perverse humor. Decent, though, with good acting. Maybe it's Australian for "Oz".
Bad Boy Bubby
I've never been more torn as to whether I liked or hated a film. This plays like the evil twin of "Being There"—a cheaply-made film in which a deranged man-child,…
The Pond (2021)
A slow-to-get-going, very quiet but beautifully shot rural folk horror that I'm sure most people will hate but I found very satisfying, once it got going, to the extent that…
News Readers
Goofy, mildly amusing Cartoon Network Adult Swim news parody segment repackaged as a series on Tubi. Fairly funny, although more in a "chuckle" kind of way than a "laugh out…
Borat Subsequent Moviefilm
Funny enough, if you like Sacha Baron-Cohen's type of humor. It's not nonstop hilarity but definitely has some laugh-out-loud moments. A big plus is that they added the character of…
The 5th Shadow
An artist and his wife scream at each other through an endless montage of artsy-fartsy special effects, choppy editing, and frequent changes of film stock. IMDB says it's a story…
All Alone Together
Some sort of BS attempt at weak horror about a filmmaker. As amateurish as it gets. High-school-play-level acting, too talky, leaden pacing. Decently lit, though, which is funny.
Altered Perception (2017)
Several couples take an experimental drug and argue about their relationships, and argue about their relationships, and argue about their relationships, and argue about their relationships, and argue about their…
Abruptio
Now, this is a uniquely weird movie. A bizarre and gory tale of unseen forces manipulating humans to commit acts of extreme violence is told entirely with human-sized puppets, which…
Possessor
An assassin uses mind-transfer technology to carry out assassinations with other people's bodies. Decent enough outing from Brandon Cronenberg, who's still got his dad's high-concept pretensions (in a good way)…
Anxiety (2024)
Overly amateur production about a recoving alcoholic stressing out during the pandemic, which apparently consists of seeing "artsy" video montages and effects, plus way too many real-life clips of Donald…
Cheap Thrills
Well-made but irredeemably, genuinely horrible "Funny Games"*-type picture consisting of nothing but brutality as entertainment. Billed as a "black comedy", without a single bit of humor, unless you think violence…
Come To Daddy
Elijah Wood, whom I always seem to like, goes to visit the father he's never known (Canadian character actor Stephen McHattie from Pontypool and a whole lot more) at his…
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…
