I went in thinking this was going to be your typical teen slasher film, but I was pleasantly surprised that turned out to be something even better. It’s advertised as a horror-comedy, but I don’t remember laughing at all. It matters not. Where it lacks in funny, it makes up for with pure fun. And …

A down on his luck guy gets wrangled into participating in an underground competition where he must complete tasks of increasing difficulty as well moral and legal consequences. A real surprise. High violent content and the movie just moves along briskly. Just when you think it gets itself stuck in a corner, a new twist …
I was really looking forward to seeing this one, and it was good but not as good as I would have liked it to be. To no fault of its own, it didn’t live up to the hype or to my heightened expectations. It was definitely spooky and a very well developed script. The top-notch …

This is a wonderfully gory film set one night at a small Scottish police station where they are paid a visit by a mysterious stranger. The always reliable, Liam Cunningham, is extremely unnerving as the stranger who is there to deal out justified malevolence. Definitely dark in tone with a biting sense of humour. Good, …

“I like that Egg’s father always says the word jelly.”
Very intriguing werewolf flick. Great performance from the lead, he has a strong Charles Bronson quality with a very dry sense of humour. Well paced in between attacks, and it all builds to a thrilling, cleverly setup climax. Great transformation effects. Also, I literally did a fist pump when Tom Noonan appeared on screen. Love …

Disappointing entry in the Horror/Sci-Fi genre. I fell for the trailer. It looked pretty intense. However, if edited together properly with the right accompanying music, footage of a dude eating a cheese sandwich could look intense. I’m looking at you, David Lynch. Adequate effects for the budget and Michael Ironside is in it, but not …
Extraterrestrial – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 2 / Film #2 Read More »
Extremely funny and often very touching comedic-drama featuring a phenomenal ensemble cast. I was surprised about how much I enjoyed this movie. While there is absolutely no need for a sequel, I hope for one just so I could see this cast perform together again.
A brilliant, quiet, little horror flick. Very understated, very restrained. Mark Duplass is pitch perfect as the “Creep”. Many of strong jump scares and clever twists. This is what every found footage movie should strive to be. Big isn’t always better. Catch it on Netflix.
“Made me sad in the middle, but pretty good anyway.”
