Wolvesbayne (2009)
“What’d you do to me?!?!?!?” It might be a TV movie released on the SyFy Channel, but 2009’s Wolvesbayne is actually a pretty decent flick. I recently watched it on Amazon Prime and I really enjoyed it. Sure, the CGI effects are a little bit hokey and the dialogue is rough at times, but there’sContinue reading “Wolvesbayne (2009)”

The Substance (2024)

Throwback Thursday: River’s Edge (1986)
“Did the sight of this dead girl move you in any particular way?” River’s Edge is a brutal film to watch. It’s blunt, emotional and emotionless at the same time, and will make you feel uneasy. That’s what makes this film so brilliant and weird. The 1986 film focuses on the aftermath of the murderContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: River’s Edge (1986)”
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)”

Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Dark Country (2009)
Let’s Ride #28! Thomas Jane stars in 2009’s Dark Country, a film in which he also makes his directorial debut. The film was written by Tab Murphy and and features Lauren German and Ron Perlman in supporting roles. The movie was shot in 3D which, in my opinion, heavily limits the film’s style and alsoContinue reading “Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Dark Country (2009)”
