The Substance (2024)
“The balance must be respected.” We all age. We get wrinkles. Our bodies begin hurting in ways we never dreamed of when we were young. Eventually we become senior citizens and, like it or not, society looks down its nose at a lot of us. In the glitzy world of film and television, getting oldContinue reading “The Substance (2024)”
Cult Classic: The Crater Lake Monster (1977)
“My first responsibility is to save human lives, not sea serpents!” It might be a terrible film, but 1977’s The Crater Lake Monster has something about it that makes it difficult to dislike. The film was written by William R. Stromberg (who also directed) and Richard Cardella (who starred in the film as Sheriff SteveContinue reading “Cult Classic: The Crater Lake Monster (1977)”
Lee Cronin’s The Mummy (2026)
“Don’t worry, grandma, it’s fun to be dead!” Calling this film Lee Cronin’s The Mummy was a smart move on the part of James Wan, Jason Blum, and Kevin Keville, who produced the film, because this ain’t no mummy I’ve ever heard of before! Written and directed by Cronin, the film is a reimagining ofContinue reading “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy (2026)”
Obsession (2025)
“You wished for this.” Written and directed by Curry Barker, 2025’s Obsession was a darling of the Toronto International Film Festival and the indie film circuit prior to its big-time release by Focus Features and Blumhouse, which led to the film becoming a massive hit at the box office and an instant classic for GenContinue reading “Obsession (2025)”
The Devil’s Mouth (2026)
“I’m not afraid of the water, just what might be in it.” Kathryn Newton has been on a role in recent years. With starring roles in successful films like Lisa Frankenstein (2024), Abigail (2024), Freaky (2020), and Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come (2026), and supporting roles in hits like Ant-Man And The Wasp:Continue reading “The Devil’s Mouth (2026)”
Imaginary (2024)
“Never ever.” 2024’s Imaginary, directed by Jeff Wadlow (who also co-wrote the film with Greg Erb and Jason Oremland), could have been a much better film, it just wore out its welcome. The movie stars DeWanda Wise as Jessica, a young stepmother who is trying to connect with her new stepdaughters, and reconnect with herContinue reading “Imaginary (2024)”
Cult Classic: Night Of The Comet (1984)
“Daddy would have gotten us Uzis.” With a perfect blend of horror, humor, and science fiction, Night Of The Comet (1984) is easily one of the best end-of-the-world films from the 1980s. Writer/Director Thom Eberhardt dumps the audience directly into the film from the the very beginning and allows the viewer to ride along withContinue reading “Cult Classic: Night Of The Comet (1984)”
Return To Sleepaway Camp (2008)
“Why can’t they leave me alone?” Despite financial issues that went back nearly a decade and the occasional natural disaster, Return To Sleepaway Camp managed to be released direct to video in 2008. The film is a direct sequel to the cult classic Sleepaway Camp (1983). The film features the return of the original film’sContinue reading “Return To Sleepaway Camp (2008)”
Shiver Me Timbers (2025)
“Chainsaws are for children.” The final Popeye-inspired horror film in 2025 was Shiver Me Timbers. It’s also the best or worst of the trio depending on who you ask. While I don’t consider it the best, I don’t believe that it is necessarily the worst. The plot is ridiculous. The acting is sketchy at best.Continue reading “Shiver Me Timbers (2025)”
