Revisiting “bad” films to see if they have any merits

Its chaotic in media res opening and need for the viewer to just go with the flow confused me. Perhaps you could chalk it up … Continue reading Revisiting Dawn of the Dead (1978)
Silent Hill is currently streaming for free with ads on Crackle as of this writing. Silent Hill has been one of my favorite horror movies since it came out in 2006. The tone, music, and disturbing visuals are captivating. Christophe Gans's direction is great and he mostly avoids the music video style of editing that … Continue reading “Do You Not Know We Will Judge the Angels?”: A 15 Year Retrospective on Silent Hill (2006)

When I was a kid, I loved the Poltergeist films. So much so they were mentioned in my best friend's toast at my wedding. I wasn't a monster; even as a child the first movie was my favorite. But I remember watching the sequels as well, and when I saw the sequels were added to … Continue reading Revisiting Poltergeist II and Poltergeist III

With fourwriters how could they go wrong?! In Revisiting, I rewatch a film I haven't seen in years to see what I think of it now. These … Continue reading Revisiting: Texas Chainsaw 3D
The Friday the 13th remake has to be the most atrocious of all the 2000s horror film reboots. And yes I have not forgotten the existence of A Nightmare on Elm Street 2010. It isn't completely without merit. On a five star rating scale it would earn one star for a combination of the following: … Continue reading Hot Garbage Express: Revisiting Friday the 13th (2009)

It was made by people who are clearly passionate about the original film and spent a lot of time and effort trying to perfect the set and … Continue reading Revisiting The Thing (2011)
