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 …
Laid To Rest – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 24 / Film #2 Read 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 …
Grabbers – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 23 / Film #3 Read More »
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 …
Dead Birds – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 23 / Film #2 Read More »
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.
Various people go into the woods and they are killed at various times in various different ways by a feral woodsman. That’s it, that’s the movie. I can’t even give it points for campy fun. It’s just terrible top to bottom. It quite possibly could be the longest 82 minutes of my life.
Atmospheric: Check. Stunning Art Direction: Check. Original and Creepy Ghost Design: Check. Great Movie: … if you’re looking for a check, keep waiting. This is a case where the parts are better than the sum. I wanted to like this movie so bad. It’s just missing something plus they gave away every potential jump scare …
Crimson Peak – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 22 / Film #3 Read More »
A grieving man repeatedly plays a brutal form of catch and release with a serial killer whom he suspects to have murdered his fiancee. An absolute master class in suspense. One of the best of its genre. The acting is off the charts good. Continually intense, cringe-inducing violence. It certainly wouldn’t be easy for everyone …
I Saw The Devil – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 22 / Film #2 Read More »
An escaped serial killer is on run and searching for his ex-girlfriend who is starting a new life in a small town. Two parallel stories each told in non-linear fashion until they collide at the end. Decent, but it takes too long to get going. It’s worth sticking it out to the ending, but there’s …
Horrible Way To Die, A – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 22 / Film #1 Read More »
I’m not sure what just happened. This movie is beyond explanation. Think of something with the ability of being gratuitous, and this movie checks the box for everything. This movie is so insanely gory and just insane. And this is coming from a guy who has seen Zombie Ass. I may need to do a …
