On Second Thought… Maybe Less?
How “news” of a potential movie about Ben Solo made me rethink all of my assumptions about Star Wars
Black Phone 2, or, Collect Call From Bill Ikilledacamperitsaboy
Or, Mama mia! That’s-a spooky Meatballs (1979)!
Hell House, LLC, or, Killer Klowns From Crawl Space
This found footage horror movie about a Halloween haunt gone wrong is limited by its liabilities of a shoestring budget and even less imagination. (Spoilers after a warning)
Freaky, or, Jason Takes Third Period Shop Class
Freaky is a teen slasher movie horror comedy that just plain works.
Overlord, or, 28 VE Days Later
Overlord is the most Bad Robotingest thing, an action/horror B-movie about blowing up Nazi monsters
Dr Terror’s House of Horrors, or, Strangers on a Train
A horror anthology about having to share a train car with some of the worst people
Ghost Stories, or, Creepy Watson
An anthology of creepy stories of the supernatural that’s every bit as original and imaginative as its title
The Changeling, or, Solve a Cold Case, Mr. Piano Man
The Changeling is an entertaining, TV movie-caliber haunted house movie about a petty and greedy ghost.
Boys From County Hell, or, When Irish Eyes Are Bleeding
The Irish horror comedy that says Lend me ten pounds, and I’ll buy you a drink… of BLOOD!
Oculus, or, Antiques Creepshow
Oculus is Mike Flanagan doing his thing in a story about interior decorating and intense trauma
Good Boy, or, Every Dog Has His Day of the Dead
Good Boy is a fairly scary and upsetting haunted house movie about a very good dog
Bone Lake, or, The Odd Couple
I can tell that Bone Lake is doing something right, because it does as much with social anxiety as with violence and gore, but it was still pretty fun
