Every October I watch at least 31 horror films. Typically I have Tweeted (is it called Xing now?) about each movie as I go. But this year due a combination of Elon Musk annoying the crap out of me and the growing sense that rapidly scrolling through an array of different extremes on a platform … Continue reading #31HorrorFilms31Days 2023: A Frank Postmortem
This is part of the Horrorathon for the Little Village Environmental Justice Organization (LVEJO). The Children of the Corn franchise rested for eight years between the seventh entry (Children of the Corn: Revelation) and this eighth entry. My understanding of why there are so many mediocre straight to video entries in this middling franchise is because … Continue reading Vietnam, Giant Hats, and Teen Moms: Is Children of the Corn (2009) Worth It?
This is part of the Horrorathon for the Little Village Environmental Justice Organization (LVEJO). I guess they are just going with "newest" and "terror-filled" this time. One of these was definitely true when this was released! After an abysmal sixth film to cap off the 90s, we get the first Children of the Corn film of … Continue reading Murderous CGI Corn, Hopscotch Girl, and Exploding Ghosts: Is Children of the Corn: Revelation (2001) Worth It?

Also a word of … Continue reading Shirtless Ryan Reynolds, Evil Pokemon Go, and Ghost Pranks: Revisiting The Amityville Horror (2005)

Martyrs is the type of movie that lives in infamy. The DVD I … Continue reading Why You Should (MAYBE) Watch: Martyrs (2008)
From IMDb: A young couple staying in an isolated vacation home are terrorized by three unknown assailants. No horror movie I have seen as an adult has scared me as much as The Strangers. I took a look at the trailer, and I think it actually does the film some justice if you want an … Continue reading Why You Should Watch: The Strangers
From IMDb: Tom returns to his hometown on the tenth anniversary of the Valentine's night massacre that claimed the lives of 22 people. Instead of a homecoming, Tom finds himself suspected of committing the murders, and it seems like his old flame is the only one that believes he's innocent. My Bloody Valentine 3D does … Continue reading Why You Should Watch: My Bloody Valentine 3D
Horror films are often maligned by mass audiences so it's not really a surprise when a non-horror fan hates a horror movie. Given the variety of horror fans and horror films, it IS surprising to see horror films that even horror fans seem to universally think are bad. These are the horror films I enjoy … Continue reading My Favorite Horror Films Everyone Else Hates
As you can probably tell from the title (an actual quote from my wife during Resident Evil: Afterlife), I am not a fan of the Resident Evil movies. As a huge fan of the video game series, I left the theater after the first film trying to tell myself that I liked what I just … Continue reading “Was this written by a 13-year-old boy?” Ranking the Resident Evil Movies
