Oddity, or, Golem-in-Law
Damian Mc Carthy’s second feature somehow manages to be genuinely chilling while also as fun as an episode of Tales from the Crypt
The Long Goodbye, or, The Proto-Lebowski?
I tried really hard to like the 70s noir classic, but I ended up just having to appreciate it
The Primevals, or, Mighty Joe Older Than I Thought
The Yeti-hunting adventure from 2023 is a showcase for stop-motion animation that looks old-school because it is
Phantasm, or, Ow, My Balls!
One of the scariest movies from my childhood turns out to be charmingly weird and nonsensical
I Ain’t Watching That: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
Cultural diffusion and a status update on my journey into horror
Psycho III, or, Crane in Vain
Psycho III is the sequel that really understands the original and gives it exactly the amount of reverence it deserves
Psycho II, or, Repro Bates
If you’re going to insist on making a movie that doesn’t need to exist, you could do worse than the sequel to Psycho
First Person Commuter, or, One Thing I Like About Exit 8
Like the video game it’s based on, Exit 8 does a lot with a little. It just doesn’t do quite enough.
Thoughts of a Childless Middle-Aged Man While Watching The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
The one positive thing I can say about the new Mario movie is that it made me even more appreciative of the wonderful games
Willow Creek, or, A Night in the Woods
An amateur documentary traveling to the area of the most famous Sasquatch sighting results in one of the scariest scenes I’ve seen in any movie.
Exists, or, Found Bigfootage
The found footage movie Exists isn’t even a little bit good, but at least it chooses the right side
Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones, or, Simon Dice
A series I never would’ve expected to like actually turns out to have one fun, entertaining entry. No spoilers.
