You already know going in that these festival movies aren’t always going to be the next great horror classic, but they can usually manage to be entertaining. This is one of those films. Dark House tells the tale of Claire who returns to the foster home where she witnessed a terrible massacre years ago. Capitalizing …
Grim Love is a story that takes place in a land called batshit! That’s my usual mantra these days, but in this case I can’t call it anything else. Well, I guess I could tell you how sad it is, because in reality it really is truly a sad story. The main character Katie (Keri …
Mother isn’t traditionally what we would call horror, I guess if we had to classify this film, it’s more mystery thriller. Mother or Madeo comes from from South Korea and it stars Kim Hye-ja and Won Bin (as a mother and son) and directed Bong Joon-ho. Bong Joon-ho also directed The Host . Let’s just …
No Kiefer Sutherland? Well damn. But, there is Nick Stahl and if you squint your eyes really tight he looks nothing like Hot Mugshot Sutherland. Well damn. In this sequel to the 2008 film, Not Kiefer Nick gets in on the mirror possession action. Here are the deathtales: “When Max (Stahl), a recovering addict, takes …
I tried my best to ignore this movie; I tried to ignore the last one, but, it keeps coming back like gum on the bottom of my Louboutin, uh Steve Madden. Anyway, Douche Feldman is back and he has dragged Jamison Newlander from obscurity to continue the bastardization of what was once a promising franchise. …
Directed by Fede Alvarez (2013) No Ash? Wait, they are remaking Evil Dead, without Bruce Campbell? What? That’s crazy talk. That will never work. The Ash character is now a girl? Remember when the internet world went all flavors of nutters when that information came out about this remake. Guess what? They were WRONG! I …
After a much needed break, I have returned from my walkabout. Walkabout, that spontaneous journey through the wilderness of one’s choosing in an effort to satisfy one’s itchy feet, a need to be elsewhere, the craving for the open road, that space over the horizon… You guessed it I walked about the shoes stores across …
Directed by Andrés Muschietti 2013 I’ll just say this right off, I’m a big fan of Guillermo del Toro, so I came into Mama with bias. Technically this film was not directed by Guillermo, but by Andrés Muschietti, who actually co-wrote and directed a Spanish short by the same name in 2008. However, when you …
We laughed, we cringed, we booed and we laughed some more, because it’s us. That’s we do. I always procrastinate with this list because I see dozens upon dozens of films each year and I’m always somewhat unmoved lately that is. I long for the days of Jason and Freddie. There are just no good …
Juan de los Muertos (original title) Directed by Alejandro Brugués 2012 How can a film go wrong when you include Sid Vicious crooning Sinatra’s ‘My Way’ on its soundtrack I ask you? Answer is you cannot. This film actually had my approval with its title, ‘Juan of the Dead’. Remember that cool little British film, …
