Houston Horror Film Fest 2024
Houston Marriott Westchase, August 10th This was my third year attending the Houston Horror Film Fest. Work prevented me from attending all three days, but I made the most of my Saturday at the event. There were tons of excellent independent horror films to view, a great selection of vendors, and a celebrity list thatContinue reading “Houston Horror Film Fest 2024”
Lisa Frankenstein (2024)
“I have The Cure…..” Written by Diablo Cody (Juno, Jennifer’s Body), helmed by director Zelda Williams (her feature-length debut) and featuring a cast loaded with talent, 2024’s Lisa Frankenstein has a lot going for it. Unfortunately, the writing and direction just don’t click for some reason, despite the best efforts of a very enjoyable cast.Continue reading “Lisa Frankenstein (2024)”
Truth Seekers (2020)
“How can I put a Smyle on your face?” With the one-two comedic punch of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost at the helm, 2020’s Truth Seekers combines supernatural horror, science fiction, and comedy in order to create a really enjoyable series. Written by Pegg, Frost, James Serafinowicz, and Nat Saunders, the series follows the adventuresContinue reading “Truth Seekers (2020)”
Cult Classic: Killer Workout (1987)
“She was so pretty…..” Aerobics were all the rage in the 1980s. Slasher films were insanely popular as well. 1987’s Killer Workout (also known as Aerobicide) fused them together in the hopes of raking in the big bucks. The result was a ho-hum slasher flick featuring a killer with a fondness for laundry pins, endlessContinue reading “Cult Classic: Killer Workout (1987)”
Dark Harvest (2023)
“To a violent world with me.” Loosely based upon the 2006 Norman Partridge novel of the same name, 2023’s Dark Harvest is a decent little thriller that blends stories such as The Lottery with supernatural horror like Night Of The Scarecrow and Pumpkinhead. It tells the story of a small Midwestern town wherein a sinisterContinue reading “Dark Harvest (2023)”
Thanksgiving (2023)
“There will be NO leftovers!” Gore god Eli Roth took sixteen years to finally give his fans Thanksgiving. The 2023 film is based upon a trailer that he made for the Robert Rodriguez/Quentin Tarentino Grindhouse double feature (2007). Along with screenwriter Jeff Rendell, Roth developed the story about a vengeful slasher who goes after theContinue reading “Thanksgiving (2023)”
Wish Upon (2017)
“Be careful what you wish for….” I was completely unaware of 2017’s Wish Upon until I decided to do a random “horror” search on Peacock one night. The film, which stars Joey King, tells the story of Clare Shannon (King) and her use of a sinister Chinese wish box that her father (Ryan Phillippe) unwittinglyContinue reading “Wish Upon (2017)”
The Craft: Legacy (2020)
“You girls have been playing with fire….” Director Zoe Lister-Jones guides a whole new group of weirdos in 2020’s sequel/soft reboot of the classic 1996 flick The Craft with The Craft: Legacy. The film’s surprisingly strong cast gives the old college try, but they can’t lift this film above its weak plot. Despite the thinContinue reading “The Craft: Legacy (2020)”
