The story of soldiers on a German U-boat during WWII. This movie is a masterpiece. Seemingly authentic, incredibly tense and very claustrophobic. Top notch performances all around and the film manages to do the impossible; it makes you feel sympathetic for these German soldiers whom are caught up in a war and a government’s ideology …
This movie is nasty, purely vicious and brutal. Killings with a serrated blade are always much more graphic. So if you’re watching this film only for the murders, it will fulfill your bloodlust. However, there is absolutely no plot. People get killed, move to a new location, people get killed and so forth. Expected more …

This has the Fulci gore, sleaze and cinematography you know and love, but this one just didn’t grab me story wise. And a killer who impersonates a duck? I mean, c’mon. Just too hoaky for me.

A small island of the coast of Ireland has been invaded by aliens, the only way to survive: to be obliteratingly drunk. Very fun and very funny horror-comedy definitely in the vein of Tremors. The creatures themselves come in various sizes. At its largest state, it is probably best described as a giant centi-pus. Plenty …

Early work from the writer of You’re Next and The Guest. This is a surprisingly effective horror-western about a group of bank robbers that hide out in a haunted house after a heist goes wrong. Creepy effects, genuine jump scares. Cast of great character actors including Mark Boone Junior and Michael Shannon. A nice find …

You all know the story. Mad scientist and his assistant rummage through graveyards and medical schools for body parts to build a man and reanimate him. Simplistic story telling, jumps right in without exposition. With limited speech, Karloff creates a menacing yet sympathetic monster. Well-deserving of its horror classic status.
One of the most atmospherically creepy movies I have ever seen. The tone is set earlier with subtle chills dropped during the slow build which leads to a sensational climax. Spot-on performances from the terrific ensemble. This is among a handful of movies that leave me with an indelible sustained sense of fear after each …
“I like that JoJo spoke around 3X during the movie.”
