“My name’s not Kerri Tate.” With a litany of disappointing and/or critically panned sequels following Halloween II (1981), the Halloween franchise was pretty much dead in the mid-1990s. Hoping to possibly resurrect the franchise and also to cash in on the resurgence of the slasher film thanks to the success of Scream (1996), Halloween H20:Continue reading “Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998)”

Scream VI (2023)
It’s okay, Sid. This review is spoiler free! Scream VI sliced and diced its way into theaters last week and I was fortunate enough to see it on Friday with my daughter. She’s a massive Scream franchise fan and was looking forward to the latest installment in the series as was I. We saw anContinue reading “Scream VI (2023)”
M3GAN: Unrated (2023)
“She’s More Than Just A Toy….She’s A Part Of The Family.” With Blumhouse and Atomic Monster producing, Gerard Johnstone directing, and Akela Cooper and James Wan penning the tale, M3GAN had a solid foundation for its vision of AI horror. The original PG-13 version of the film was premiered in December of 2022 in LosContinue reading “M3GAN: Unrated (2023)”
Throwback Thursday: Valentine (2001)
Roses are red…. In 1996, Wes Craven breathed new life into the stagnant slasher genre with Scream. It spawned a number of popular sequels and a slew of copycat films including Urban Legend and I Know What You Did Last Summer. Eventually the genre began to lose its appeal and studios attempted to revive itContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Valentine (2001)”
Sick (2022)
“Do you have a mask?” Spoilers In Review!!!!! Kevin Williamson of Scream fame teams up with Katelynn Crabb (additonal crew and assistant to Williamson on 2022’s Scream) to write a Scream knock off that utilizes phones, multiple killers, and even a one word title. What it doesn’t include is likeable characters and humor. Director JohnContinue reading “Sick (2022)”
Dead End (2003)
“We should have left earlier.” Somehow I managed to miss out on this sleeper hit way back in 2003, but discovering Dead End late one evening this week was a pure delight! This independent road thriller has a ton of things going for it and far exceeded my expectations. It was written and directed byContinue reading “Dead End (2003)”
Treevenge (2008)
The Trees Strike Back With axes in hand, a team of Christmas tree farmers mow through a patch of trees. They burn some that aren’t worth keeping and ship the rest off to be wrapped up for Christmas tree retailers. What they don’t know is that the trees are tired of the sadistic tradition ofContinue reading “Treevenge (2008)”
In Defense Of Morbius (2022)
Honestly, Morbius Doesn’t Suck When Sony/Columbia/Marvel released Morbius earlier this year, there were a ton of poor reviews about the film. Critics and fans alike bashed the origin story saying that it was just another generic superhero movie. They accused it of everything from having a paper-thin plot and dull characters to bad CGI andContinue reading “In Defense Of Morbius (2022)”
They/Them (2022)
Respect, Renew, Rejoice…. As soon as I saw the trailer for Blumhouse’s They/Them (pronounced They Slash Them), I knew that it wouldn’t be just another run of the mill slasher film. Yes, it has a cast filled primarily with LGBTQIA+ actors and takes place at a gay conversion therapy camp, which automatically makes it uniqueContinue reading “They/Them (2022)”
Houston Horror Film Festival 2022!
July 22-24, Houston, TX I ventured a few hours into the Lone Star State on Saturday, July 23rd, to attend the Houston Horror Film Festival for the first time. Thankfully it took place at the Westchase Marriott, a hotel that I attended another event in a few years ago. That came in handy, as IContinue reading “Houston Horror Film Festival 2022!”
