Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Monster Man (2003)
Let’s Ride #23! 2003’s Monster Man is a film that left me full of mixed feelings. The bulk of the film isn’t that great. It’s littered with bad, sophomoric jokes, most of which are delivered by Justin Urich as Harley, who comes off as a blend of every single stereotypical fun-loving jerk who the viewerContinue reading “Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Monster Man (2003)”

Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Wrecker (2015)
Let’s Ride #9! 2015’s Wrecker (also known as Driver From Hell) may or may not be a remake of 1971’s Duel, the directorial debut of Steven Spielberg. I can’t find any solid proof of this, however, as most people believe that it is either a ripoff or rehash of Spielberg’s film. A few reviewers accuseContinue reading “Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Wrecker (2015)”
