Thirty-One Days O’Horror: The Monster (2016)

Let’s Ride #30! Today’s Let’s Ride entry is the surprisingly enjoyable The Monster from 2016.

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: The Car (1977)

Let’s Ride #22! After yesterday’s post, I decided to blog about one of the better killer car flicks out there, 1977’s The Car! So what’s The Car all about and why is it so awesome? Basically, a demonic car arrives in a sleepy Utah town and begins killing people. The local sheriff’s department, which isContinue reading “Thirty-One Days O’Horror: The Car (1977)”

Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Road Train (2010)

Let’s Ride #21! Opening with a needless sex scene and then unraveling into a ridiculous mess, 2010’s Road Train (also called Road Kill) is a terrible film. I love bad movies, but this film just plain sucks. It tries very hard to give the viewer a cyclical view of Hades, or something similar, but neverContinue reading “Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Road Train (2010)”

Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Shortcut (2020)

Let’s Ride #20! Five teenagers and their bus driver encounter a sinister force in a dark tunnel in 2020’s Shortcut. Directed by Alessio Liguori, this film has a nice helping of suspense, one quick twist early on, and a creature that moves in the shadows. It’s a fun horror flick with a strong cast, aContinue reading “Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Shortcut (2020)”

Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Night Terror (1977)

Let’s Ride #19! Valerie Harper takes a terrifying trip across the deserts of Arizona in 1977’s Night Terror. The film, which is also known as Night Drive, is a Made-For-TV movie starring Harper as Carol Turner and Richard Romanus as a mute killer that uses a “talk box” or electrolarynx. Released on February 7, 1977,Continue reading “Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Night Terror (1977)”

Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Drive Back (2024)

Let’s Ride #18! On their way home from their engagement party, a couple take a shortcut through the California forests and find themselves terrorized by a cannibalistic killer, helped by a hitchhiker, and tested by their own secrets on a seemingly endless road in 2024’s Drive Back. The film was written by Jon Sarro andContinue reading “Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Drive Back (2024)”
