Ferris Bueller’s Day Off – Quickie Review

The film that single-handedly changed attendance taking forever. Modern classic which seems to play on a 24/7 loop on TV. While some of the jokes have lost their impact, the movie is as fun as ever. Highly addictive, once you start watching it, there is no stopping.

Evil Aliens – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 17 / Film #4

Holy shit this was gory! Holy shit this was glorious! A tabloid news team heads to a Welsh farm to report on an alien abduction and impregnation. Super fun, but super corny alien invasion movie. Full of subtle and not so subtle homages to other sci-fi and horror classics. This has some early Peter Jackson …

Starry Eyes – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 17 / Film #3

An ambitious young actress must navigate thru some bizarre auditions to land her big break and the cost of fame may be more than she can handle. A slow-brewing film filled with strange imagery, back-loaded gore and a strong lead performance. A hypnotic adventure in surrealistic horror. Very Lynchian.

Anthropophagus – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 17 / Film #2

Underwhelming Italian horror. Creepy killer, creepy locale, decent gore, but it’s incredibly dull with a score that occasionally sounds like two cats fighting on a keyboard. The jump scares are mostly telegraphed or poorly choreographed. There’s some f’d up stuff along the way such as the killer eating his own intestines, but nothing really to sustain one’s …

Tucker And Dale Vs. Evil – Quickie Review

A couple of happy-go-lucky rednecks become victims of negative profiling and what follows are the ultimate cases of misunderstanding. One of my favourite horror-comedies, just the right amount of gore and the perfect amount of laughs. The scene that involves a chainsaw and a hive is flawlessly executed. Purely delightful.

Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1978) – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 17 / Film #1

How’d I go this long without seeing this film? I love how there’s no exposition at the beginning. It just jumps right into the story and characters are already figuring out the issue and you’re just watching it all unfold. Great score, great cast, great script. Wonderful cinematography, there are some crazy angles in this …

We Are Still Here – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 16 / Film #3

A grieving couple move to the countryside following the death of their son and soon find out that their new house and the town is full of secrets. For a movie with such a short running time, it certainly takes its sweet-ass time to get going, but it’s well worth the wait. Unique evil spirits, a well-layered …
