God Told Me To – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror (2018) – Day 9

I am a big Larry Cohen fan so there is always a little bias and I’ll except things easier in his films than others. If you’re not a fan of Cohen, get out! Or maybe you just don’t realize you’re fan because you unfamiliar with his cult-laden filmography (The It’s Alive trilogy, The Stuff, Maniac …

Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1956) – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror (2018) – Day 7

From the future director of Dirty Harry comes the original “body snatcher” movie. You know the story. You’ve seen this or one of its three remakes. I’ve now seen all of them. I saw them in the following order: 3, 4, 2, 1. Since I grew-up on sci-fi and horror films from the 80s, I …

John Dies At The End – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror (2018) – Day 5

This movie could be described as the love child of H.P. Lovecraft, W.S. Burroughs and Harold Ramis, but instead it is the brain child of writer/director Don Coscarelli (Phantasm, The Beastmaster, Bubba Ho-Tepp). And it’s awesome. I went into this movie without knowing anything about it other than it was a Coscarelli movie. That was …

Timecop – Quickie Review

If there was ever a movie that could benefit from a remake, it’s this one. That being said, this film is still campy fun. The story and concept is very intriguing, but in better hands and a more capable lead, it could really excel. Some of the dialogue is very wooden with a performance from …

Arrival, The – Quickie Review

An engrossing science fiction thriller about an astronomer who discovers the existence of alien life and then gets embroiled in a conspiracy as the aliens try to stop him from discovering their secret. Smart and very underrated. I saw this in the theatre only because I’d pretty much seen everything else released at the time. …

Looper – Quickie Review

A mind-bending, time-travel actioner. Clever, air-tight script that neatly ties up all of the loose ends that can develop with multiple timelines. Effortlessly entertaining and frequently amusing. Solid performances from the whole cast, one of Willis’ best roles in years. I love when a movie makes you think.
