“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)”

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)”
Popeye’s Revenge (2025)
“Well blow me down!” A trio of Popeye-based horror films were released in 2025 after the strong-armed sailor entered the public domain. Popeye’s Revenge was the first of these films, released in February of that year. Although it isn’t a part of the Twisted Childhood Universe, it is produced by ITN Studios, who produced allContinue reading “Popeye’s Revenge (2025)”

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)”
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: The Car (1977)
Let’s Ride #22! After yesterday’s post, I decided to blog about one of the better killer car flicks out there, 1977’s The Car! So what’s The Car all about and why is it so awesome? Basically, a demonic car arrives in a sleepy Utah town and begins killing people. The local sheriff’s department, which isContinue reading “Thirty-One Days O’Horror: The Car (1977)”
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)”
Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Black Cadillac (2003)
Let’s Ride #17! A trio of Minnesota young adults find love and trouble while on a road trip to a Wisconsin bar in 2003’s Black Cadillac. The film stars Randy Quaid as Sheriff Charlie Harman, Shane Johnson as Scott, Jason Dohring as Scott’s little brother, Robbie, and Josh Hammond as CJ, Scott’s best friend. KierstenContinue reading “Thirty-One Days O’Horror: Black Cadillac (2003)”
