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: 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)”

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)”
