Good Very Creepy/Suspenseful The old-time house with lots of secrets was the best possible setting for this story. Apart from that, the story is presented in a really unique way. The directors (or whoever's in charge of all the cool stuff) did a fantastic job with the fade scenes, the memories, the book, all of … Continue reading Movie Review: I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House →

The Observance This low-budget movie is one of those gems that I stumbled across while sifting through the long list of movies on our Amazon Fire TV. (Can I get endorsement money for that or something?) I broke it down into my usual categories here. The low budget actually made the movie better in a variety … Continue reading Movie Review: Observance →

Good Horrifying Old Man If you do end up watching this movie, there's one guy you will never forget. I have affectionately dubbed him "Old Man Genius" because he literally makes all the right moves (except for being a horrible person). From biding his time carefully in the shadows to calling the police directly after … Continue reading Movie Review: 13 Cameras →

I'd been looking forward to seeing John Krasinski in his horror film debut ever since I saw a trailer for it. What I didn't expect was to see it in theaters, mainly because I figured I wouldn't have the time. But alas, my girlfriend, me, and some other friends ended up in the theater on … Continue reading Movie Review: A Quiet Place →

Ever since I saw the commercial for the movie last year, I've been meaning to watch the new Murder on the Orient Express movie. I missed it while it was in theaters, had to wait a few more months for it to come out on DVD (Amazon Video, actually), and then I finally got to sit down … Continue reading Movie Review: Murder on the Orient Express (2017) →

Troy seems like your typical, epic fantasy movie. More or less. It's almost three hours long, focused on the stories of the Iliad and the Odyssey. There's battles, a love interest, and a story that set the tone for many fantasy novels and movies. It's a star-studded cast: Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom, Eric Bana, and Diane Kruger being the leading … Continue reading Movie Review: Troy →

One of the longest and surprisingly-good movies I've seen in some time. A mystery movie that turned into a legal drama that turned into a thriller that turned into a melancholy ending that turned into a documentary. It has everything, including some real-life connection with a case that's just as scary and much more famous. … Continue reading Movie Review: Zodiac →

Been a while, guys. But I'm back at it! Movies reviews coming fast, slow, and randomly. Who cares about patterns. Let's start with The Crazies (2010) remake of the 70-something film when we were all scared of governments and bioligical weapons. Maybe we still are? Most likely comparison for this movie: The Purge: Western-style plus The Walking … Continue reading Movie Review: The Crazies (2010) →

Halloween Horror for Your Hairy, Scary Halloween! Halloween (1978) (Rotten Tomatoes review) Why is it here?  One of those original horror movies that made and make the genre so worth it, this was a true original and never forget the very memorable character it gave us... Michael Myers. (Everybody back then was named Michael.) This … Continue reading Halloween Horror →

Got my wisdom teeth taken out, couldn't sleep, wanted to watch a horror movie. You know how hard it is to find a decent horror movie?? Like, really really hard. I swear. All the good ones are about sex and the badness of it, pretty much. And then you have the typical ghost story that turns out … Continue reading Movie Review: The Amityville Horror (2005) →
